Sunday night the Exeter Mo- hawks beat the visiting Aylmer Hornets 6-4 to lock up the top spot in the five -team Southern Ontario Senior 'A' hockey league. The Mohawks will now wait to face the winner of the playoff matchup between the fourth and fifth place teams, Dunnville Mud - cats and Dorchester Dolphins. Against the Hornets, Exeter came out quick, and backed by some crafty goaltending by Rick Pikul, won their sixth straight to finish at 22-5-1. Sunday's game was very important because if Aylmerwon,theyrwould have taken first place. After the game, Exeter coach Dave Revington said it was impor- tant for the Mohawks to finish in fust. "That's what you set out to do at the start of the year. It gives you the home ice advantage." It took a shorthanded goal to get the Mohawks rolling as defence - man Kris Bedard got his stick down to intercept a pass. He raced down the right side of the rink and blasted one over Gilles Lauzier's glove just 4:32 into the game. "When you play Aylmer, you don't expect to get a quick goal. It's nice to get out early, especially shorthanded," said Revington.

A year ago. Aylmer won the final game to give them first place. The Hornets tied is up as the Mo- hawks defence caughed up the puck and Rob Coutts connected for the visitors. But as they have done so often the last couple of months, Bill Glover and Gord Brooks teamed up to put Exeter back in front. On the powerplay, Glover went behind the net and centered it to Brooks who one -timed it. Aylmer's Bob Hunter slipped a backhander past Rick Pikul before Tim Fritz planted one in the top corner to give the home team a 3-2 lead at the first intermission. Pikul was sharp all night but was especially hot in the second period turning away 12 tough shots. "Rick made about three (big saves) that stopped it from being a tied game," said Revington. Less than eight minutes into the second frame Fritz rued a hard bul- let at Lauziere who juggled it be- fore it got behind him and into the net. Brooks teamed with Glover once again to make it 5-2 with a little over three minutes left in the peri- od. Brooks was slashed very hard on the play by John Janicek and everyone in the rink except referee Claude Daw heard it. In the third period the Hornets came to life as Brian Donaldson was on the receiving end of a nice pass by Peter McMenemy. Aylmer pulled to within one at 18:14 as Mike Haines went down the right side and scored low on Pikul. Greg Snyder hit the post with a backhander late in the game before Lauziere was pulled in favour of the extra attacker. Exeter defence - man Chet Couture tumed on the jets and scored into the empty net. Exeter were without the services of Richard Hawkins and leading scorer Joe Scherer who are out with suspensions.

Wednesday night, in their final home game of the regular Junior 'D' hockey season, the Irish bombed Seaforth Centennaires 11- 4. The night before they travelled to Alvinston and disposed of the Flyers 9-2. The Irish bet their fust game since January 2 on Saturday when they travelled to Port Stanley and came up short 4-3 in overtime. In their last eight games, the Irish have outscored their opponents 52-14. Ihrnk what it is is hard work," said Lucas coach Ken Needham following the game against Sea - forth. The hard work is there and so is the fun. The Irish are going out and having a good time on their way to hopefully what may be an Ontario Hockey Association championship. "The team is starting to come to- gether. when you get that many goals it's fun: said Jason Wilson. He scored three coals against Seaforth and in Alvinston netted two and set up a pair for seven points in two nights. Wilson said winning hasn't come that easy, and noted, "even the last place teams are giving us a run for out money." Wednesday night the Irish jumped on the board fust as Wilson started things off with a powerplay foal. Newcomer Dan Brand made it 2-0 and Andy Ross and Paul O'Shea made it 4-0 after 20 min- utes. The rookie O'Shea scored the nic- est goal of the night as he came down the right side and put a big move on Seaforth defenceman Ron Stevenson before going in on Jason Glover. Roes with his second, Greg Muir, a Greg DePrest backhander and Wilson connected before Seaforth could get on the board. Wilson got his hat trick in the third period be- fore brothers Tim and Todd Hayter rounded out the Irish scoring. Answering for the Centennaires were Don Scott with a pair and Ted Sills. Glover was replaced by Dana Duskocy while Bob Szabo started between the pipes for Lucas and was yanked after a couple of long goals in favour of Mark Dunn 11 night the . sh seemed to tate in front of the Seaforth Tern .vhile at the other end keeping them away from their own cage. "We haven't worked on any of- fense. We have enough natural tal- ent. We've worked on our defence," said Needham. Lucan hasn't been without their lems as veteran forwards Jeff l and Rich Welsher both re- signed but the team had a couple of meetings and they new -look Irish are steam -rolling over the opposi- tion. "The last 10 or 15 games it's been a totally different team," said Need- ham. Down Flyers: LastTuesday night in AlvinTu ston, Lucan scored two powerplay and one shorthand- ed tally en route to a 9-2 victory. They lead 5-0 after the first and 6-0 after 40 minutes. Wilson led the scoring spree with two while Steve Matthews, Muir, Brian Schuyler, Ross, Brad Bowers • Darren Neil and Jeremy Jemec con- nected. Saturday the Irish dominated for most of the game in Port Stanley but the Lakers scored with 10 sec- onds left in regulation play to send the game into overtime. Defenceman Todd Hayter scared twice for Lucan with the other off the stick of Darren Neil. Lucan travelled to Exeter last night fora game against the Hawks and Saturday concluded the regular season schedule in Belmont against the Pests.
