Hawks, Irish in different Junior 'D' groupings
The number of Junior "D" hockey teams participating in the
coming hockey season in the province of Ontario has been reduc-
ed to 16 teams and only three leagues.
There are a couple of changes affecting the two divisions of the
Western Junior "D" League.
Two teams from last year's northern division have changed
leagues.. The Tavistock Braves are heading south to join the
Southern Counties grouping along with teams such as Delhi,
Langton, Waterford, St. George and Six Nations while the Howick
team has disbanded.
With these two clubs vacating the northern group, the Exeter
Hawks are moving back from the southern division and will be
competing against Mitchell, Clinton, Brussels and Seaforth. The
southern section will consist of the Lucan Irish, Thedford,
Thamesford, Belmont and Mount Brydges.
A lot of the rivalry built up in recent years for provincial playoffs
in the junior "D" circles will be missing this year as Grand Valley
has moved up one notch to Junior "C".
That also means that there will be new competition in the an-
nual junior Hawks tournament early in January. Although Brussels
won the 1986 event, Grand Valley had been in the winners circle
quite frequently.
The change in the two local groupings will cut down on the rivalry
between the Exeter Hawks and the Lucan Irish. As they will now
be in different divisions they will play each other only on two oc-
casions during the regular schedule. Each team plays single home
and home games against clubs in the other grouping and four times
each at home and away within their own section.
Exeter Hawks
Coach Dave Bogart of Exeter Hawks is continuing with a very

physical condition.
Workouts are set for the Stephen township arena at Huron Park
tomorrow night, Thursday from 9 to 11 p.m. and follow on,
September 14. 16. 21 and 23.

Lucan Irish
The Lucan Irish juniors are taking to the ice this week for their
first practices in preparation for the 1986-87 hockey season.
Manager Jim Hearn and coach Ed Parkinson expect most of last
year's players to be back for another term. He added, "The only
Express reach league fine
The Exeter Express scored a 17-10
victory over Walkerton Sunday in
Ilanover to win their Great Lake -
Western Ontario -London senior
baseball league semi-final in straight
games.
The Express now go on to meet
Strathroy for the league
championship. The first two games of
a best of five series will be played in
Strathroy this week. The third and
possible fourth contests will go Sun-
day in Exeter beginning at 10 a.m.
In Sunday's contest, both teams
confined most of their scoring to the
seventh and final inning. In the top of
the final frame, the Express scored
nine times to go in front by a score of
17-4, but, in their final bat, Walkerton
sent six runners across the plate to
make the score a little closer.
The Express opened the scoring in
the third inning as Steve Pearce was
hit by a pitch and singles from the
bats of Greg Hern, Kevin Hern, Brian
Horner and Paul Gilmour plated four
runs.
Hits by Doug Fairbairn, Paul
Gilmour and Kevin Hern were
responsible for three Exeter scores in
the fifth and in the next frame Greg
Hern was safe on a fielder's choice,
went to second on an error, stole third
and scored as Walt Parkinson singled.
Eight base hits powered the seventh
inning nine run Express explosion to
put the game in the victory column.
The first seven batters in the inning
were able to reach base safely before
the first out was recorded and even-
tually scored. They were Paul
Gilmour and Steve Pearce on free
tickets, singles by Doug Fairbairn,
Jeff Fuller and Greg Hern and two
baggers delivered by Brian Mercer
and Brian Horner.
A single by Kevin Hern kept the ral-
ly going and was followed by a walk
