BY GREGOR CAMPBELL Expositor Staff Two strikes jolted the St. Columban men's soccer team out of a familiar second -half slumber. Seemingly back on their heels, Brian Melady suddenly stung back with his second goal of the game, decisively heading home Wayne Ryan's free kick about five minutes later as the local lads finished in finer form to win their first Western Ontario Soccer Association Second Division Cup in 20 years with a 3-2 triumph over the German Canadians at the London Portuguese field last Thursday night. St. Columban's last men's Cup win was in the London & District Soccer Association's First Division about 15 years ago, in the early (980s. They beat five teams in this year's annual sudden -death Cup competition, inter- spersed since spring amongst their regular season's sched- ule, three of them by shutouts. Keeper Jason Dietz allowed but four goals in the five games. And he couldn't be faulted for giving up the equalizer in the tricky fading light at the London field in the final last week. Melady's first goal came on another header on a ball from Mike Smale, who spent much of the night thinking defence, a scant foot away and no fur- ther from the German Canadian's feisty and danger- ous black striker. It was a tremendous job of marking. The goal was a strange, slow -bounding blooper. But it counted. St. Columban took a 2-0 lead at the half when Sean Melady more decisively fin- ished a give -and -go from John Jordan. And it looked like celebrations were a lock. NOT SO FAST The German Canadians showed spunkcoming back, getting their first soon in the second half. St. Columban stopped running and all of a sudden Dietz had his hands full. A solid blast from a fair distance tied the score at 2 - up, and nobody in the stands had any doubt which team had the momentum. They weren't wearing green. The ball was rarely out of the St. Columban end. Melady's sudden winner on one of about only two St. Columban forays up the• field, about five minutes later and 10 minutes from time, changed the momentum for good. The German Canadians' goalkeeper was soon red - carded by the referee, as was another player, and they were forced to finish the game with only nine on the field. • St. Columban stayed Id their face but didn't go over- board, and the Cup was thus theirs. "Summer Fun" loses less The recreation depart- ment's summer fun program in Seaforth lost money again this year, but far less than last summer. It finished with a deficit of $935.49, according to figures presented to council by recre- ation director Marty Bedard, compared to the 1995 figure of $7,674 to the red. Bedard told council he felt it woutz bot'4'difficult to reduce any further", but still ease mended running sum- mer fun again next year, sug- gesting the number of trips perhaps be decreased and registration fees increased slightly. Wages cost $4,069.52 this year compared to $9,358 last year, accounting for much of deficit improvement. Staff was halved from six to three,. and moving from the agricul- ture building to the arena saved $685 in rental fees, according to the rec direc- tor's figures.

They beat them with better legs. It was a terrific entertain- ment. KEEN ON REVENGE It seems St. Columban's habit to go flat in the second half this season. Melady (Brian)thinks he has an explanation for the recur- rence in the final. The German Canadians beat St. Columban 3-1 a couple of weeks ago in league play. Melady said his mates still had this stuck in their craw and perhaps were toointense before taking to the field for the first half, running them- selves out. St. Columban is still in sec- ond place in the Second Division Central table, two points to the rear of Scottish. But the locals have a game in hand ontheothers contend- ing to •rise to the First Division, so have their des- tiny in their own feet. It won't be any can of corn. They have two games left at home, and two on the road back-to-back in London next weekend. One of these is a re-sked against Greek Olympics, that Saturday fol- lowed by Sunday's trip to the field of London Portuguese. St. Columban's next game is at home against Maltese this Saturday at 3 p.m. There are only seven points now separating first to sev- enth in the division stand- ings. St. Columban beat Strathroy Portuguese, Scottish, the Olympics, London Portuguese and the German Canadians on the road to this season's Cup win. There were 30 teams originally in the running. The locals last won the Second Division Cup in 1976. THE HUMON IXPOS1TOtt, $ pt•n ebee 11, 19811-11 4 FIRST GOAL! It came from this slow, looping header. BETTER LEGS - The locals were all fired up. Sean Melady flies through the air. SECOND GOAL - The ball and Sean Melady were both blurs just before the lights went on and St: Columban went up 2-0 at the half. KEEPER GETS TO TOUCH CUP FIRST - Goaltender Jason Dietz was extremely stingy in the five Cup games this season, and accepted the trophy on behalf of his team- mates. oc� dOcaell% oop amp. -4 Large Ripe Juicy Tomatoes for Canning ready picked or pick your own... by the basket or bushel Green & Yellow Beans & Gladiolus Nursery Stock & Perennial Sale Continues!
