Bly th PeeWee Dogs just miss
in close match with Hensall
On Thursday, Nov. 23 the Blyth
PeeWee Bulldogs welcomed Hensall
to town.
The first few minutes were played
mainly in the neutral zone with nei
ther team gaining momentum.
Hensall came on to take the lead
beating Blyth netminder Jeff Elliott
mid-way in the opening period.
The Bulldogs were able to gain the
tie in the second when Kyle Procter
rifled a slapshot that bounced off the
Hensall goalie and Darcey Cook
picked up the rebound to slip it by.
Blyth moved into the lead when
Darren Austin scored off a pass from
Brett Beane and James Durrell.
Hensall then came bouncing back
squeaking one by Elliott.
The Bulldogs were given a glori
ous opportunity mid-way through
the final period when Hensall ran
into penalty trouble giving Blyth a
two-man advantage. The Bulldogs
assembled a constant attack but were
turned away with some splendid
goaltending in the Hensall cage.
Hensall was returned the favour
sporting a two-man advantage of
their own in the closing minutes of
the game. The Hensall team cashed
in with 1:18 left to take a 3-2 lead.
The Bulldogs pulled the goalie in
the final minute and swarmed the
Hensall net. Beaner took a feed from
Cook with five seconds to go and
should have gained Blyth the tie if
not for a spectacular save by the
Hensall backstopper.
The end result was a 3-2 win for
Hensall but a very entertaining game
for fans for both teams.
Saugeen-Maitland Lightning
pulls out a win in Strathroy
The Saugeen-Maitland Girls trav
elled to Strathroy for a rematch with
Bluewater on Nov. 25.
The Lightning was looking a little
travel-weary for the first half of the
period but got back on track when
Brittany Roberts trickled one
through the goalie’s pads to open the
score with assists by Heather Walker
and Jessica Mann.
Saugeen’s defence got caught
pinching and the resulting two-on- *
one proved costly after Terri Allen
made the first save but Bluewater
fired the rebound over her out
stretched glove to tie the game in the
second period.
With passes from Walker and
Katie Whytock, Crystal Ferguson
swept in to put Saugeen ahead early
in the third. End-to-end play contin
ued and hustle paid off when
Whytock beat the defence and fed
the puck to Walker to add the insur
ance goal with two minutes remain
ing to win 3-1.
The Lightning heads to Stouffville
for a tournament in early December
and ren,ain idle until then.
