"They didn't have their legs," said Weber. They took on Forest Saturday in the round- robin play, beating them 3-1. "It was good. We had about 50 shots on them. Their goalie kept them in the game," said Weber. Seaforth was next up against the Houston Arrows from Texas, beating them 5-1. "I didn't think they were too strong. I think they were the weakest team we played," said Weber. That game put Seaforth in the playoffs where they faced off against Stephen Township who had beat Seaforth at the regional toumament in Watford earlier this month. Seaforth's second place finish in that tournament saw them reach the International Silver Stick by invitation but during their rematch against Stephen Township, they won 9- 3. Meanwhile, Forest went on to play Wallace Township in its playoff pool, winning 3-2 in overtime to come back against Seaforth for that final game. "The arena was packed with fans," said Weber, adding he couldn't hear himself talk the cheering was so loud by the final game. "I'm proud of the kids," he said. "I think they played well enough to be the championship. team." Tyler Doig and Greg McGrath were named all stars in the tournament for their efforts. Expositor Editor The Seaforth Bantams and their fans feel robbed of what was a very real chance at a North American Silver Stick win in Forest on the weekend. Amid cries of outrage from a Forest arena filled with hockey fans, spectators watched the puck hit the back of the net and bounce out again but a referee missed the shot. "Even the convener saw it go in," said one of the team's coaches, Mike Weber, who didn't actually see it himself. It was one of two goals called back in the game that saw the Bantams lose the championship round 3-2 against the host Forest team. Parents behind the net watched the puck hit the back of the net and say it would have at least put the team in overtime with a decent chance of taking the title despite the second goal being called back. Weber said the second goal they had taken away may have come from the refs calling a two line pass. Forest scored their winning goal with only one minute left in the game. "They gave it everything they've got. I think they got a little bit robbed," said Weber. "They played well enough to win." The toumament opened Friday with Seaforth up against a Cobden team, defeating them 5-0. Weber said the team came from the Ottawa area and the drive may have done them in for Seaforth-Egmondville annual broomball tourney Jan. 26-28 Senior Shuffleboard is held at the Seaforth and District Community Centres each Wednesday from 1:30 - 4 p.m. Everyone is welcome to come out and enjoy an afternoon of fun and fellowship.
