Crokinole players wanted EXETER - Tired of figuring out what to do on those rainy nights or those cold winter afternoons, well crokinole may be for you. Joe Fulop of Exeter, who is well known for his many years of dedi- cation to baseball and coaching numerous high school sports, is also a very good crokinole player. Recently, Fulop competed in the Ontario Crokinole Championships in St. Jacobs and returned with a second place finish. Prior to that tour- nament, he was third at an event in Godench. "I played it a lot as a kid and I was pretty good at it," said Fulop. He was coaxed into going to the Goderich tournament, his first in a few years, by Dave McClure who makes crokinole boards. Fulop would like to see if there is interest in Exeter to start a croki- nole league. He said in St. Jacobs, where the game is very popular, the group there plays twice a week. He said each tournament seems to be a little different. For instance, in St. Jacobs you only get to shoot six discs per game. That makes the contest a little tougher to win because, obviously you have fewer chances to shoot. "When you play six, if you get a 20 it makes it really hard for the other person," said Fulop. "The tournament in St. Jacobs was a game of 20's." A 20 is a perfect shot and is scored when the player shoots his disc into the centre hole of the board. A crokinole board is round and fits on any table. Players must be seated when they shoot. For those who want to sign up for a few games with Fulop, give him a call at 235-1022.
