PAGE 9. Blyth Atoms WOAA champs How far will it go? The Brussels Curling Club hosted a bonspiel on Feb. 21 with many participants from the area. (Elyse DeBruyn photo) The Blyth Atom Reps travelled to Ayton on Sunday and brought home a WOAA title for the first time in quite a while. Blyth hasn't won a WOAA Atom title since 91-92 when current Atom manager Mike Haggitt was an Atom player. The team was hungry after a tough 5-2 loss Thursday at home and didn't want to come home empty handed. Blyth and Normanby played a strong defensive first period, not wanting to give up the first goal. Early in the third, John Lecomte stepped up to the challenge; and beat Normanby's goaltender William Haines of Wingham. Caleb Brohm assisted on the goal. The Ethel euchre was held on Monday, Feb. 16 with 10 tables in play. Winners were: share-the-wealth, Walter Seiler, Linda Stevens; high, June Jacklin, Walter Seiler; lone hands, Hazel McKenzie, Bob Normanby evened the score less than a minute later, but Blyth didn't give up, and with only 6.3 seconds left in the second frame, Cody Richmond broke free .and scored a breakaway goal assisted by LeComte. Blyth took the lead into the third period and with 6:13 left in the game, Adam Cronin got in alone to put the nail in the coffin, with assists going to Jonathon Atkinson and Tyler Black. Goaltender Kayla Black, stole the show in the Blyth net, making many huge saves, including a breakaway by the Normanby captain. As the game ended, the young Bremner, Charlie Harrison; low, Verna Crawford, Velma Sleightholm. There were numerous lucky tally winners. The next euchre will be held on March 1 at 8 p.m. Bulldogs showed their sportsmanship by shaking hands with their hosts. Matt Popp, Blyth's captain accepted the trophy from the WOAA representative.

The Brussels team lost in over- time to Waterloo in the semi-final.
