Mohawks seem to be lacking the fundamentals By Fred Groves EXETER - If the Exeter Mo- hawks want to win hockey games, they are going to have to start working on the basics. Saturday night they had trouble passing and playing proper defence as they lost their third Senior 'A' hockey game of the season, 4-3 to the Dunnville Mudcats. Although the Mohawks got on the board first when Joe Scherer nuscled his way in and got a back- hander past Garnet Wilson, and al- though they did outshoot the Mud - cats 37-21 they couldn't get it all together. "We had a few guys who didn't come to play hockey tonight," po- litely put by Exeter coach Dave Revington. From the defencemen to the for- wards, the Mohawks made very few good, crisp passes. A habit they seem to be getting in W. "ifs non existent, just like it was in Aylmer," said Revington. On Tuesday, the Mohawks edged Aylmer Hornets 4-3 as Greg Snyd- er scored twice with singles from Craig Oster and Scherer. "We're not moving the puck with authority. I don't know if its lack of skill or lack of confedence?, asked a puzzled Revington. After Scherer made it 1-0, mid- way through the first frame on a nice pass by Snyder, Dunnville's Closing In on Dunnville goalie Garnet Wilson in Saturday's Senior A game was Mohawks for- ward Joe Scherer. Exeter is having trouble winning as they were edged 4-3 by the visiting Mud - cats. Pat Holley got his first of two of the night. With Dave Wilson in the penalty box, Dunnville's Craig Surridge let one go from the point to give his team the lead which they would not give up. The third Dunnville goal was a definite example of lack of the ba- sics by Exeter. Bill Glover won the faceoff and while trying to get it back behind him, Holley got to the puck quite easily and walked in alone on Rick Pikul. "Our leftwinger didn't pick him up and our defence were caught flatfooted," said Revington. Two goal night: Gord Brooks pulled the Mohawks to within one when he went to the side of the net fora Bill Glover pass and patiently waited before shooting. But with Wilson in the box again, Paul Tyne netted what proved to be the winner with about 11 minutes left in the game. Revington pulled Pikul with 1:23 left and it paid off as Brooks let go with one high in the slot but Dunnville managed to hold them off. Exeter tried to get some offence going in the game as Revington didn't hesitate to go down to two lines for a while in the second peri- od and making sure his high scor- ing line of Snyder, Oster and Scher- er got lots of ice time. Dunnville coach Vic Porter who was behind the Oshweken Junior D' bench last year was happy to get Irish in battle for first place By Fred Groves PT. STANLEY - Although this is supposed to be a rebuilding year, the Lucan Irish, Ontario finalists a year ago, remain undefeated as they sport a 7-0-2 record following wins last week over Port Stanley, Belmont and a tie with Alvinston. On Saturday the Irish beat the tough Port Stanley Lakers 7-2 thanks in part by a pair of goals from Greg DePrest. We still have a •long way to go," said Irish coach Ken Needham who seems a little surprised his team has yet to lose. "We have a lot to do yet and eve- ryone gets tough the second time around and we haven't played Mitchell yet." Tonight in Lucan at 8:15 the Irish will face the division leading Mitchell Hawks. Irish 7, Flyers 7 Lucan managed to salvage a point out of this one but it wasn't pretty on or off the ice. After building a 3-1 lead, the Irish defence stood by and watched as Alvinstoi,rgittl►iag second period goals., ta;tfM? lead and battled enoughforce the game into overtime. "They scored four goals on four shots in the second period," said Needham who said goalie Mark Times -Advocate Scoreboard a ( • • .'z Ken Needham Dunn did not play well. Lucan's defencemen looked con- fused and did not give Dunn much support when it came to picking up their man in front of the net. In the third period, Needham put convert- ed forward Ed VanKerkoerle back on the blueline. Alvinston received four goals from Jeff Leyten who also set up Dean McEachern's overtime tally. It was 6-6 after regulation and 54 seconds into the five minute over- time, Lucan's Dean Hammond pounced on a rebound. But with 1:44 left in the over- time, McEachern found the puck and let go with a trickier that got past Dunn who lost it in his skates. The Flyers came into the game with just two wins while the Irish were undefeated in their first seven. "I think they played well. Maybe it was a case of taking them too easy. You're going to have to earn every two points you get," said Needham. Besides Hammond, Steve Mat- thews had a big night with three goals while Paul Woodburn , had a pair and (call and fund this out) After the game Lucan captain Andy Ross and Alvinston's Greg Garside got into fight while shak- ing hands which saw several punches thrown. Irish forward Darren Neil, not dressed for Friday's game was in- volved in a fight with a spectator moments after Ross and Garside were battling on the ice. Also not suited up for the Irish was Jon McEachern who arrived late for the game. Irish 5, Pests 3 A balanced scoring attack saw the Irish get tallies from Greg Muir, Ross, Brad Bowers, VanKerkoerte and Scott Woodburn. McEachern had a big night with three assists.

If you win on the road, that's a bonus," said Porter whose team beat Exeter 6-3 earlier this season. New look: There were only five minor penalties per team called by referee Ivan Bryce as the Mudcats, known to be a team that likes to nought it up, seems to have changed their ways. The only heated moments in the game came when Oster was pushed into Wilson which got a couple of Wilson's teammates up- set. "I don't play that way. I don't be- lieve in it. You don't win games in the penalty box," said Porter. According to the Mohawks, Dunnville's Gerry McSorley who got more than one of the Exeter players upset last year, is not being allowed to play by the Ontario Hockey Association. "It's out of my hands. Apparently they've polled the league and they don't want him," said Porter. He said if McSorley was to join the team it would have to_he_u der - some conditions.
