The Lancers swept the best -of - seven series from the locals, taking the final game 10-3 at the Lucan Arena last Tuesday night. The game that broke the back of the Irish was the third game last Sunday night, when the Lancers scored four times in the last 10 minutes of play to take a 7-6 win and a commanding three -games -to - none lead in the series. Irish coach Dave Revington felt with a few breaks his team should have been up two games to one af- ter three games in the series. Before stealing the third game, Lambeth eaked out a 5-4 victory in the game two as well. "Lambeth stole the second game in London, after winning the first game rather easily. I thought we should have won the second game and the third game but they stole that one from us too. We could have just as easily been leading the series at that point. I thought for sure we would take the series to at least six games," said Revington. Revington also felt fatigue began to play a factor with his team. The Irish played 20 games in the 'first three series while Lambeth did not lose a game in the entire playoffs. "We played too many games in too few days," said Revington. "I thought we should have had a couple more days off between the Tavistock series and the final just too get a rest but I guess the OHA wanted to get it over with. I also thought we shouldn't have had to play the first two games of the se- ries in London. We were too lenient when we negotiated the series," he added Lambeth won the coin toss for home -ice advantage and when the dates were announced, Lambeth was awarded the first two and Lucan the next two instead of alternating games like had been done in previ- ous series. The Irish had been down three - games -to -one in their two previous series, against Exeter Hawks and Tavistock Braves respectively and won both of those series but couldn't recover from the 3-0 deficit facing them against Lambeth. Lambeth led 3-1 after the fist pe- riod and 6-2 after the second, but Lambeth didn't let up in the third period and poured in four more on Lucan goalie Doug Haskett. Brian Minhinnick led the Lancers offence with a hat trick, John Gras- so contributed a pair of goals and Mickey Dupuis, Jack Dundas, Scott Pepin, Gary Winger and Dean Thomas chipped in with one goal each. Lucan was assessed 17 minor penalties and a pair of majors on one play to Tim Hayter, while Lambeth played shorthanded for only six minutes in the game, and the Lancers took advantage by scor- ing five of their last six goals while Irish players were sitting in the penalty box. Scoring for the -Irish were; Tim Hayter from Jon McEachern and Paul Barnes, Jamie Pearce from Rick Weishar and Dean Schram from Glen Marshall. The win is the second in a row for Lambeth, who defeated the Exet- er Hawks four -games -to -two in last year's provincial finals.
