two and missed two against
Roetcisoender. The shoot-out win
gave Blyth one more point for a total
of eight tying them with Clinton

The tie was broken by looking at
the goals scored against, placing
Blyth in third place going into the
finals.
The Storms' final game was
played against the fourth-place
finishers, Goderich Canadian Tire.
The Storms were quick to score
when Steele booted the ball up the
field to Drost who passed the ball to
Sjaarda for a goal. They kept the
momentum going when Drost
passed the ball to Bos, then Bos
passed the ball to Sjaarda for another
goal. Drost intercepted a Goderich
pass and scored the third goal.
Goderich played a strong second
half, but was unable to score against
the Storms strong defence. The final
was a 3-0 victory for Blyth.
Roetcisoender didn't allow .any of
the shots to get passed him during
the final game. He allowed only five
goals the whole tournament.
