Cents announce
exhibition games
The Seaforth Centenaires have
announced an ambitious late sum-
mer lineup of exhibition games in
preparation for their next go round
in what is shaping up to be a sig-
nificantly stronger Western Division
of the Ontario Hockey
Association's Junior Development
League.
The Cents, division finalists for
the first time in a decade last sea-
son, open their exhibition schedule
in Scaforth on Friday, September 2,
at 8 p.m. with their second annual
'Rookie Game' against the Brussels
Bulls of the OHA's Western Junior
C League. Seaforth has also sched-
uled a two -game weekend exhibi-
tion with the Western C's newest
entry, an expansion franchise, the
Kincardine Bulldogs at Kincardine
on Friday, September 16 at a time
to be announced, then at Goderich
on Sunday, September 18 at 7:30
p.m.
Seaforth wins
softball tourney
The Seaforth Novice PWSA girls
softball team outplayed 16 other
teams to win the 1994 Burlington
Softball Tournament held in
Burlington June 25 and 26.
Scaforth began the round robin
portion of the tournament by defeat-
ing Guelph by a score of 10-5. In
the second game of the tournament,
Seaforth defeated London Nelson
Park by a score of 9-1. The third
game of the preliminary round had
Seaforth facing Aurora and again
Scaforth emerged victorious win-
ning this game by a score of 8-2.
Scaforth then faced Whitby in the
semi finals and defeated this team
in only five innings by a score of
14-1.
This set up the championship
final with Scaforth facing a strong
Niagara Falls club. This game was
undoubtedly the best game of the
entire tournament as both clubs
exhibited great defensive abilities
and superb pitching. Niagara Falls
held a 2-1 advantage over Seaforth
until the top of the seventh inning
when some excellent hitting and
offensive base running by Seaforth
resulted in the scoring of 3 runs.
Niagara Falls attempted a comeback
in the seventh inning but again,
superb defensive play by Seaforth
resulted in Scaforth hanging on to
secure a 4-2 win and the 1994
championship.
Members of the team include:
Michelle Henderson, Denise
O'Reilly, Melissa Robertson, Tricia
Jansen, Lisa Reynolds, Stade Wick,
Jamie Rcyburn, Lisa Roosenbloorn,
Amber Ruttan, Cara Pepper, Ericka
Burns, Tory Westbrook, Kim Tay-
lor, and Kristen McFarlane. The
team is coached by Janet Buchanan,
Sandra Burns, Georgina Reynolds
and Kathy O'Reilly.
The team was the silver medallist
recipient at the recent Dorothy Hill
Invitational Tournament held in
London June 6 and 7, losing in the
final to Windsor by a score of 8-5.
This team will be participating in
the Provincial Women's Softball
Association Pre-liminary champion-
ships to be held in Chatham July
22-24, 1994.
Next home game for the Scaforth
Novices is July 9, at 12 p.m. at the
Scaforth Lion's Park when they
host Chatham in a double header.
.ti
The Centenaires will also play a
home -and -home series with the
Thamesford Trojans, who have
reached the "Final Four" of the
Junior Development League for the
past seven seasons including a
record run of three -straight OHA
titles between 1989 and 1992, at
Thamesford on Friday, September 9
at 8 p.m. then at Seaforth Friday,
September 23 at 8 p.m.
Additional exhibition games with
the Wellesley Applejacks may still
be in the works.
Last season's Eastern Division
champions, the Port Stanley Lakers,
who only lost two games and
scored on average a whopping 2.5
more goals per game than any JDL
team, have returned to Seaforth's
division, the west, to replace now
departed Alvinston. Seaforth's
motion to have Tavistock be the
team that moved over because of
"traditional rivalries" was defeated
12-5. St. George is the new fran-
chise in the east, with all teams one
again playing a 40 -game schedule
within their own division. Gov-
ernors unanimously rejected an
application from Cambridge's
"triple A" juvenile team to join the

Soccer team wins two, ties one
On Sunday, June 19, St.
Columban Men's Soccer team
played in London against
Panhellenic as they were forced to
battle the mid -thirty degree heat
along with a tough opponent.
The game started out quite slowly
and that pace remained throughout
the game. Despite good chances
from both sides, the first half ended
in a 0-0 tie. In the second half, St.
Columban applied some pressure
and were finally rewarded around
the 20 -minute mark. Some good
determination by half -back, Mike
Seiler, enabled him to get the ball
past the Panhellenic defense and
eventually the goalkeeper. It would
be ten minutes later when a
scramble in front of the home
team's net progressed to the point
where John Jordan made a nice
pass to Nehru Budna. The devil
must have got the chills on this day
because Budna neither put the ball
over the net or to the side and
instead put a hard low shot into the
corner past the stunned Panhellenic
keeper. It was 2-0 for the good
guys.
With only 15 minutes left in the
game it looked like St. Columban
would leave the field victorious but
a defensive lapse by the team
enabled their opposition to get back
into the game. Two quick goals in
the last ten minutes took the wind
out of St. Columban and the game
ended in a 2-2 tie. It was a well -
fought, close game but like they
say, "close" only counts in horse-
shoes or Dan Quayle spelling bees.
St. Columban played their next
game in London on Wednesday,
June 22, against the Albanians. This
was not a league game but rather a
Cup game which is a season -long
tournament with only the winning
team advancing to the next round.
Some teams get a bye for the first
round but St. Columban didn't and
unfortunately for the Albanians,
they were going to pay for it.
St. Columban started the scoring
off early when an alleged cross by
Dave Murray found it's way into
the top corner of the net behind the
Albanian goalie. Dave Murray
would get his second of the game a
few minutes later when he fired a
hard, low shot Jlat bulged the
twine. It was overheard in the
stands that Murray has a special
knack for reading short, heavier
goal tenders. After St. Columban
added another goal, the half ended
with the St. Columban squad up 3-
0.
In the second half St. Columban
stepped up their play a notch and
really gave the Albanians a taste of
the farm. They added eight more
goals in the half and they ended up
winning the game by three field
goals with an 11-2 score. This set a
new record for the team for goals
scored in one game with the previ-
ous record being seven. Goal
scorers on this day were: Dave
Murray, Mark Martinez and Brian
Melady who all had three goals and
Dean Martin and Jason
"Valderamma" Vander Velde who
each had one.
To finish off their busy week, SL
Columban played at home on Fri-
day, June 24, against London Cen-
tral Americans who on this day
were short staffed with only nine
players..St. Columban came out and
only played as good as they had to
and got a 5-1 victory. Although the
home team probably played their
poorest soccer of the year, that
could be condoned by the three
games in six days and the fact that
they were assured of an easy vic-
tory. Dave Murray and Steve
McInally both had nice goals on
this day as Nehru Budna, John
Jordan and Mark Martinez also
kicked the ball into the net to put
one on the score board. The Central

Americans should be congratulated
for their level of play as all nine
players displayed their poise and
character as class soccer players. As
for the man in black, Coach Melady
though that he was well over -paid
and could beuer serve the game of
soccer by taking up croquet!
St. Columban does not play again
until July 10 and 12 when they play
the Exeter Centennials and Exeter
Fury with both games being away
from home.
