That's St. Columban midfielder Dave Murray (9) also in the thick of the fray. St. Columban bends but doesn't break They certainly used their heads Friday night. St. Columban's men's soccer team bumped division -leading Bcnfica out the undefeated ranks with a disciplined 3-2 victory in Western Ontario Soccer League Second Division Central action. John Jordan's equalizer and Steve Ryan's winner both came via second -half headers at St. Columban's new pitch, as the home side clawed back from a 2-0 deficit with a smothering defence and johnny-on-the spot shooting. St. ,Columban improved its league record to 4-1-1 with the New Seaforth "Black and white - tight, fight, fight!" This may become the rallying cry for fans of all Seaforth minor hockey teams in a few short seasons as the local minor association has decided on new colours to replace traditional Seaforth green sweaters. Seaforth & District Minor Hockey Association director Graham Nesbitt says basic win while Bcnfica fell to 5-1-0. In Cup play last Wednesday the outcome was not so rosy as Portuguese Canadians dropped the locals 2-1 at Strathroy. Benfica, which toured Europe and the United States as an Under -19 side last season, came into Friday night's game with impressive early -season statistics, having fired 24 goals and only given up three. They also have a slick little striker who scored tons of goals with another team in the Premier Division last season. On the other hand St. Colum - ban has succeeded with a more plodding long -hall style that rallying cry? green costs more these days because it requires a custom order that takes longer to deliver than standard Dallas Stars colours, which Seaforth has now adopted. The new hockey sweaters will be phased in as needed for the various local teams. Home sweaters will be white and'road jerseys black, both with green and gold trim. requires using its strength to win the one-on-one battles in the air, very similar to the winning concoction devised by Geordie Jack Charlton's power- ful Republic of Ireland team. St. Columban had only scored nine goals, 15 fewer than the division leaders, and given up seven in the division going into the Benfica game. Coach and players were openly squabbling on the Bcnfica bench but the Lon- doners led 2-1 and looked like they were going to put the game away with ball control and some fancy footwork that had St. Columban back on its heels early in the second half. But steady goalkeeper Jason Dietz and the bigger St. Columban team held and tightened, and the few times they moved the ball up the field the opportunistic forwards didn't dally putting the hall into the net. Jordan's equalizer in par- ticular seemed manufactured from little morc than a hope and prayer, from an almost - impossible angle next to the Benfica keeper's right post after Mauro Mascioli's long throw-in. Ryan's winner was his second goal of the game. He booted the ball home to start the comeback, down two goals late in the first half. Midfielder Dave Murray made the pass that found Ryan on both his goals. In the Cup game at Strathroy Wednesday St. Columban had two goals called back in the loss, after Brian Melady opened the scoring in the first half heading home a corner from Wayne Ryan. Falcons arc also tied for first and .ahead of second -place St. Columban in the division table. They tripped the locals 1-0 earlier in the schedule but St. Columban won the appeal and a replay hasn't been set. The top teams in the Second Division's three groups will playoff at season's end to determine which advance to the Western League's First Division in 1996. Exeter is at St. Columban for the local team's next home game Sunday, June 25 at 2 p.m. The annual Scalorth Invitational Fasthall Tournament takes place this weekend.

The fan speeds are too high, so they don't de -humidify properly, so the house temperatures must be set too low, the system is noisy, and energy costs are excessive. The purpose of central air conditioning is to create a climate more like Radville, Sask than Aklavik. The refrigerator is that tall cold thing in the kitchen. BAILEY'S OF HENSALL LTD.
