If we play to- gether and do our best, we should go," said left winger Becci Farqu- har who was with the Panthers. when they won in 1989. Against the Lords, South Huron took a big 3-0 lead in the first half. Tina Campbell got things rolling and then Farquhar let go with a long shot from the left side which rolled along the goal line where April Lewis knocked it in. Farquhar took at least a dozen short corners, one resulting in the South Huron Panthers' April Lewis, left; gets ready to take a,shot despite being surrounded by a pair of Listowel Lords' during Thursday's Huron -Perth semi-final game.
