He took his text from the Gospel of Luke "This man receives sinners and even eats with them."

On Wednesday February 27 the Lucan 1 travelled to Hensall to play their final game with Hensall in the Huron -Perth House league schedule. Hensall lav back as they were confi- dent; without the strong game by Rob Wareing and defence it wouldn't have been a five -five tie. Lucas went ahead three -nothing in the first period. Brian Moir assisted by Jim Dickins and Shawn Vanstone put Ifensall on the score board in the second period. Brian Moir assisted by Jason [manse once again scored in this period to bring his team within one. Lucan popped in another one at the beginning of the third, only to have Brian Moir, again assisted by Jason Imanse, respond for Hensall.

On Saturday March 2 the boys were up with the sun as they travelled to Mitchell for an 8:00 a.m. game. It pro- ved that the boys should be early risers as they defeated Mitchell 15-1. Shawn Vanstone, assisted by Amy Phillips, opened the scoring for Hen - sal] with just two seconds gone in the game, and from there the boys never looked back. All but one of Hensall's boys were able to hit the mark at least once and not until the middle of the third did -liensall's defence let Mit- chell through long enough to put one past Rob Wareing. Later on the same afternoon the boys travelled to Huron Park to play a make-up game they had cancelled in January due to storm. Both teams were determined to win. It was a fast. hard-hitting game and if not for the defence and the brilliant saves made by Rob Wareing it would have been a different outcome. Huron Park went ahead in the first period at the three-minute mark and the crowd went wild. llensall came back on a goal scored by Jim Dickins assisted by Rob Taylor. al the 1:12 mark of the second period and the Hensall fans brought the roof down. The third period was scoreless. en- ding in a 1-1 tie. The next game for the Hensall Ban- tams will be Saturday March 9 when they travel to Exeter for a 10 a.m. game. This is the last scheduled game for the boys. They travel to Kincar- dine on March 16 and 17 to a tourna- ment and their final playoff tourna- ment is March 23. We wish the boys all the best in the upcoming games. Cromarty By MRS.
