Both men's and wrnucn's championships were decided in overtime. It took double overtime for Dccmerton Dusters from the Teeswatcr area to drop the local Dumpers 1-0 in the men's final. Polar Ice rebounded from an 8-0 'pasting by Parr line in recent league play 10 bores overtime, . before eventually bowing to the mighty Parr Liners in the women's final, 3- 2. The score was knotted at 1 - .at the end of regulation. In the "B" side finals: the Eighth Liners from the Blyth area beat the Legion of Broom from Cambridge for the then. The Blyth Rebels also teat the Crusaders from Palmerston for the women's B title.

But all 20 alien's teams showed up in one form 'or another, some with skeleton rosters because of the storm.

The fret -falling Ccntcnaires are in third in the Min -elm Division, three points back of the Lucan Irish who now have the cdgc for home -ice ad- vantage against Seaforth in the first round of the playoffs. The Cents have only one win to show against Tour loses from their past five starts. Those Hawks r.•ivain far and • away the. best team so far this: season in the Ontario Hockey Association's -Junior "D"evelopment League, now - sporting a 28-2-2 record and 15 points better than the best of the other 17 clubs. ' Seaforth did everything but stand on their Ileacs and dance Sunday but only managed to beat former Gcntenaire Dave • Nahrgang in. the Exctcr net once, and then with a little dribbler on a powerplay that snuck under •his pads tlirough a screen when they were already three goals behind. Old • nemesis Chris Kennedy scored twice as Exeter tallied two times in the second, and again in- the early minutes of third period. Steve Mclnalty connected for "the Grccn".will 10 minutes to go, spoiling the shutout bid. , • Although shot totals weren't announced in this -Exeter "neutral site" dorms game, Seaforth had the edge, par- ticularly in the final 15 minutes when the Hawks were back on their heels and Nahrgang held the fort. Goals have been rare as sunny days cin the beach .for the Cents lately, . who only scored two of thein in Seaforth Tuesday night so also lust 6-2 to the Thameslbrd 'Trojans, the • team with the second -lest record in thc J DL. •That gams was 3-2 for the Trojans until the "fat lady sang" in the middle oI' the final period, after they scored three goals in 61 seconds, to skate away with the points.

Don Rivers and Jason Ilayier weren't in the lineup 1'MM other reasons. Top scorer Shayne Robinson was a scatch for Exeter. FORCED HAND - Iloth Seaforth goaltenders last year appealed to the OHA for their release before this season.

The OHA tribunal ruled after the hearing -in Cambridge but kept its decision to itself, suspending announcement for a week to give the Ccntcnaires tilos to judge their goaltending situation. Seaforth ended up reluctantly releasing him for $400 at the last minute in a three-way deal in which Port Stanley paid. Despite an early -season in- jury and the pounds he has put .on since, the deal canie back to haunt. Sunday.
