Sports Spotlight by Ross Haugh Meet Old Acquaintance - While coving the annual summer meeting of the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority Friday we ran into an old friend. He was George Wicke who will be best remembered as coach of the Milverton Suns ladies fastball team, but we first met George more than 35 years ago when this reporter played softball with the Sharon Cardinals and Wicke was with the Monkton Wildcats. A few years later we traded the bat and glove for an umpire's mask and regalia and called the plays for many games while Wicke continued with the Monkton team. He told us Friday that a 10th anniversary celebration of the Sportsfest to have 34 events in Hanover - Approximately 34 events will make up (he 1987 version of Sportsfest, be- ing held August 14-16 in the town of Hanover.: Bridge, crokinole, radio -operated cars and planes and swing bowling Seniors win Continued from IA Itornermanaged to strike out four batters in seven innings, allowing 12 hits and walking two. Atthill followed that with three strike -outs and two walks. Shaw walk- ed two and struck out one in the effort. Exeter 8 - Seaforth 6 The story was similar when Ex- press took on Seaforth Tuesday night and pulled out an 8 -victory. Shaw set the tone for the evening in the bottom of the first when he hit a three run homer, bringing in Mac- Donald and Greg Hern. Shaw was the catalyst in the second inning as well, batting in MacDonald and Greg Hern with a two RBI single,. and giving Express a 5-1 lead over Seaforth. Seaforth began to close the gap in the third, scoring two runs but again Shaw came up big, hitting a home run and bringing in Hern once more. Hayter then scored in the bottom of the sixth to give Exeter an 8-3 lead. Things began to fall apart for Drager in the ninth, however. Though he struck out two batters, the com- bination of two singles and two walks allowed Seaforth to score three runs. With two out and a man on first, Shaw took the mound and struck out batter number three, securing the win. Drager pitched more than seven in- 'nings. allowing eight hits and striking out three opponents. He walked five in the effort. Exeter Express will try to keep things going their way next Sunday when they host Thorndale Seniors for an afternoon game at 1 p.m. • READY FOR SUMMER - The 1987 staff for the Stephen Township pool is assembled and ready to go.

While this may be a bit off the sports beat, Wicke praised the Ausable Authority for their operation of the Camp Sylvan outdoors program for public school students. A teacher at Milverton public school who is within one year of retirement, Wicke said students learned more about ecology in three days than they do in a whole year in science class in school. He added that students and teachers also learn more about each other. • Welcome, Mark We would like to welcome Mark Bisset to our staff hereat the T -A. He will be taking over all sports -reporting duties while we continue as assistant editor and news reporter and photographer. It is with mixed emotions that we give up the sports portion of our duties as we have met a lot of great people over more than 20 years and certainly appreciate the great co-operation received from everyone involved. On the other hand it's probably time fora younger and more enthusiastic person to take over and Mark certainly fills that bill. We will continue to pound -out this column for at -least a few weeks until Mark gets established in the sporting community. • McCURDY DONATES TO HEART FOUNDATION -- Students at J.A.D.

T -A photo Bantams lose 2-1 decision Continued from IA a disheartening loss for Exeter 1. Exeter II travelled to Bryanston for a game against the last place team. It was no contest as the Exeter youngsters defeated Bryanston 10-2. Scoring for Exeter II were: Dean Pfaff (2), Eugene Hartman (2), Tim Brand t 1 r, Amanda Houston c 1 i, Geoff Sanders. t 1), Mark Danna c 1 t, Shane Pfaff 1), and Scott Bierling. In Bantam .play, Exeter came up against a team from Hyde Park. In two previous games Hyde Park had outscored their opposition 23-3 and it looked like Exeter was in for a long night. However, with a super playing Tim McAllister in goal and with the midfield and defence led by Henri DeBruyn and Justin O'Rourke, it looked for a while as though Exeter would pull out a major upset. Henri DeBruyn was sent in alone by Sivikay Sengkhounmany' and he made no mistake in giving Exeter the lead. Hyde Park then tied the score just before half time. In the second half, Exeter had some excellent scoring chances but were stopped time and time again by an ex- cellent Hyde Park goalie. With about 5 minutes left Hyde Park scored the winning goal with the effort put forth -by the entire team. Christy Brintnell and Chris Beierl- ing in particular played well.
