Other than some 401 con- struction which delayed our arrival at Wonderland and three young misses who, went amiss and delayed our departure, it was a good day. I'd like to take this oppor- tunityto thank Les, Anne Marie and Sheila from S.P.A.R.K. and Donna, Nan- cy and Barb from the Dashwood Playground for a job well done. Thanks also to Susan Vanderspek from Ex- eter who volunteered her services to help eut the S.P.A.R.K. leaders for the summer. Another big thank you goes out to the Optimists Club of Stephen who generously donated $200 to help pay for the bus for Wonderland. The Huron Park peewee girls dropped a tough 14-12 decision last Tuesday night to lose their bid for the league championship. The Kirkton midget girls advance in playoffs After finishing third in regular league play, the Kirkton midget girls fastball team has eliminated Oakridge in two straight games in the first round of playoffs. They now meet Byron in a home and home series. The Kirkton club downed Oakridge by scores of 10-7 and 13-3 to qualify for the next round. In the first game, Kirkton pitchers Deb Lindsay, Patti Willis and Barb Skinner gave up nine hits. Leading batters for Kirkton were Cheryl Cann, Patti Willis and Leslie Hunter-Duvar with two hits each. Singles were added by Cindy Down, Marie Wraith Val Stephen and Lori Brand. Monday, Kirkton got their bats rolling early in the game with three hits in the first inning to score three runs. Marnie Wraith and Patti Willis hit back to back home runs to leave the left fielder near the fence. Kirkton's 15 hit attack was led by Patti Willis with two home runs and a single. Marie Wraith added a home run, triple and double, while Lori Brand hit a triple, double and single. Laurie Simpson hit two singles while Barb Skinner, Sandra Fletcher, Cheryl Cann and Cindy Down added singles.. Barb Skinner allowed only 2 hits in the seven inning game while giving up 3 walks. girls certainly have nothing to be ashamed' of as it was only their second loss of the season and they've played fine ball games all summer. Congratulations to coach Jan Russell and the girls. The Huron Park pee wee boys teams had their playoff tournament cancelled this past weekend due to rain and the tourney will be held at a later date. Good luck to the Blue Jays and the Pirates in their finals. The Huron Park bantam boys will be hosting the Lucan Bantams for a double- header tonight, Wednesday at 7 p.m. in their first meeting of the •palyoffs. With coaches Ron and Pat Morrison on holidays, Tom Lessard will be at the helm for the boys. Good luck to Tom and team in tonight's match -up, Stephen township pool is in the midst of its final ses- sion for the summer. Hopefully the weatherman will be a little more co- operative through the last week and a half of lessons and give us a little sunshine and some warm temperatures. See you at the pool!!
