Brussels Minor Soccer moves west
At the annual spring meeting of
Brussels Minor Soccer, it was voted
unanimously to join the North
Huron Soccer League.
Previously, Brussels had been in
an alliance with the North Perth
Soccer League. This western move
will allow Brussels soccer players
the opportunity to experience a
different calibre of competition, play
in tournaments other than just the
year-ends, and to play against their
friends they meet in the hockey
season.
As well, the North Huron League
offers U-18 instead of U-17, giving
older players the chance to play all
through high school.
Teams will play against others
from Seaforth, Blyth, Wingham,
Lucknow, Clinton, Goderich and St.
Columban.
Registration numbers have been
maintained so that each co-ed level
will be represented including U-9,
U-ll, U-13, U-15 and now U-18.
With the move, the nights of
soccer will change. Mondays will be
U-18, Tuesdays are U-ll,
Wednesdays are U-9 and U-15 and
Thursdays are U-13. All home
games are played behind the arena,
beginning at 7 p.m.
Coaches will be calling their
players within the next week to start
practices. Games start the week of
May 9.
Younger players, ages four to
seven, will be divided into a junior
and a senior houseleague format.
This new format for the younger
players will allow for the little guys,
who are just starting out, a better
chance to hone their skills and shine,
while the senior houseler ^ue will
provide a higher calibre of
competition amongst the players’
peers.
Junior houseleague will be on
Tuesday nights and senior
houseleague will be on Wednesday
nights, starting the week of May 16.
Registrations are still being
accepted for houseleague-age
players by calling Roz Schlosser at
887-9522.
Refs are still needed for all groups
and more information can be
obtained from ref-in-chief, Abi
Corbett by calling 887-6621.
Madill Mustangs begin high school soccer season
The Madill Mustangs’ girls’
soccer teams opened the season last
Wednesday with matches against the
Stratford Northwestern Huskies and
the South Huron Panthers from

The senior girls opened the season

in the morning and then were
handed a 3-1 setback by the Panthers
in the afternoon.
The junior girls recorded a pair of
draws, 1-1 versus Northwestern and
3-3 against the Exeter high school.
The Panthers tied the game on a
penalty kick late in the second half.
Getting the goals for the Senior
Mustangs against the Huskies were

In the game against South Huron,

against the Northwestern team.
Getting the goals for Madill
against South Huron were Melissa

The Senior Mustangs opened the
regular season with a pair of 1-1

Madill begins
track season
The 2005 F. E. Madill Secondary
School track and field team’s season
is now underway.
Madill travelled to Windsor on
April 9, on a beautiful spring day to
compete in an indoor meet and to
Kitchener on April 20, on a
miserable, wet and cold day to
compete in an outdoor meet.
The competition has been of a
very high calibre so far with a
particularly large and strong field of
competitors at the Trackwars meet in
Kitchener.
Despite the poor weather
conditions at the outdoor meet, the

South Huron.
Coach Jack Mali said the team has
about 12 players back from last
year’s team which finished the
regdar season in second place.
However, he added they did lose
some good players from last year’s
team.
After opening the scoring against
the Panthers, South Huron was
awarded a questionable penalty shot
and they scored to even the score.
Madill had some excellent
chances late in the contest, but were
just unable to get the ball into the net
past a defensive wall.
The Madill Coach said South
Huron always has a strong team.
Results of the junior boys’
contests were not available at press
time.
The Mustangs were at home on
Tuesday for a game against the
Central Huron Redmen and then
travel today, Thursday, to Listowel
for games against the LDSS
Lightning and the Goderich Vikings.
