Shackleton had two goals and two assists en route to an 8-3 Exeter victory. Irish lead series with Flyers By Fred Groves LUCAN - Jason Wilson scored a pair of goals Sunday night as the Lucan Irish made it two wins in a row with a 5-3 win over the Alvins- ton Flyers. The Irish took a commanding two -games -to -none lead in their best -of -seven OHA Development west division quarter -final series. Game three was Iasi night in Al- vinston and the fourth game is Fri- day, again in Alvinston at 8:30 p.m. Also scoring for the Irish on Sun- day were Ed VanKerkoerle, Jon McEachcrn and captain Andy Ross. Irish 7, Flyers 6 Centre Dan Brand returned to the lineup and made a big impact as he scored two goals and set up the winner by Steve Snider as the Irish won the opener Wednesday night. With 22 seconds left in the game, Snider snapped a quick wrist shot from 10 -feet out to beat Alvinston goalie Mike Pandur. Brand started the season with the Junior 'B' Windsor Bulldogs but re- turned in November. Work com- mitments meant he didn't return to the Irish until the playoffs. "I don't think I got a fair shot at it," said Brand of trying to crack the Bulldogs' lineup. "They had seven imports and they can only dress six." Irish coach Needham said Brand will make a big difference in the Irish attempt to defend the west di- vision title. However, Brand, who did not play hockey for a few months is under Needham's watch- ful eye. "When he came back from Wind- sor, he was working. We've told him to make a committment or leave his equipment and go." Lucan got out to a quick start Wednesday night, building a 2-0 lead after VanKerkorlc walked in and scored and then Brand released a fairly weak shot. But the Flyers came back and less than five minutes into the mid- dle frame it was 2-2. Brand broke the tic when he bounced are puck off of Pandur. The goal was credit- ed to Greg Muir. "There was no other place to put it," said Brand of the shot. Alvinston tied it again but then VanKerkoerle got his second. Jason Wilson zigged-and-zagged around the Alvinston defence and it was 5- 4 A deflection in front of Lucan goalie Bob Szabo pulled the Flyers to within one at the end of the sec - Dashwood Minor Baseball Association Hardball Registration March 14 Dashwood Community Centre 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. T-13all through to Midget Contact Charlene Finkbeiner 237-3788 411, ond. In the third, Szabo made a bad mental mistake when he was caught out of the net and a wrap around goal made it 5-5. With Tim Hayter in the penalty box for roughing, Alvinston made it 6-5. Jon McEachern deflected the puck between Pandur's legs with just 1:43 left before Snider got the winner. Throughout the game, Pandur, a cut from the Irish training camp, had his suck up high and caught more than one Lucan forward un- der the chin. Needdham said his team could not afford to retaliate. "We can't afford to be shorthand- ed. You have to hope the 'officiat- ing takes care of it." Lucan did not play well in the first game of the best -of -seven se- ries. Hayter missed several checks in the first period, but did improve and was authoritive in the next two. There also seemed to be a lack of communication between the for- wards and the defence. "Everybody was chasing the wrong guy. It was probably the worst game we've played," said Needham. Marty Swain led the Flyers' of- fence with three goals and an assist.

Chi, h • - R 1 tl • r - r i' ht Exeter takes 3-1 series lead By Ray Lewis LAMBETH - There's just some- thing about playing in Lambeth that seems to bring out the best in the Exeter Hawks. Sunday night the locals played the fownh game of their best -of -seven OHA Devel- opment league series in what has become the very friendly confines of the Lambeth arena, and dusted the Lancers by a score of 9-5. Lewis popped one in on the power- play followed by Chipchase's first of the evening. WIIb John Bell in the penalty box, Chipchasc picked up his sec- ond when he tippod an errant Lambeth pass at the Exeter Nue- line. Chipchase raced in for a breakaway, faked left and then threw the puck high into the right corner. Junior 'D' roundup In thgir two trips to Lambeth dur- ing this series, the Hawks have notched 17 goals. They hold a 3-1 series lead and may have eliminat- ed the Lancers with a good show- ing in Exeter last night. Results were unavailable at press time. "1 love playing in this building," said centre Shawn Chipchasc. "1 think the last regular season gamc 1 played here I got seven points." By the end of the second period in Sunday's game he seemed des- tined to even that record, and by evening's end he had struck for four goals and one assist. "I guess it was a good night," laughed Chipchase. "The puck just kept coming to me and I was catch- ing a few breaks." Some say bad luck comes in threes and for Lambeth it was Chipchasc and linemates Shaync Robinson and Derek Shackleton. Robinson accounted for five points on his own, setting Chipchase up for three and banging in two him- self. Shackelton was credited with an assist on Robinson's first goal just thirty seconds into the game, but was a force all night long freeing the puck up for the line which has become tops for the team. Over three games they have struck for 13 of the squad's 24 goals. "People were starting to wonder about us with the way we finished the season," said co -coach George Pratt. "But I think those three guys have proven they're here to play." Quick lead The Hawks struck early and built a 4=0 lead which they maintained , throughout the rest of the game. ' After Robinson scored, Larry Chipchase then tallied a pair of powerplay markers on identical plays. After collecting the puck in- side the Lancer btueline, Chipchase couldn't find anyone open so he calmly walked into the slot and blew a slapshot paced goaltender Darryl Bond. Lambeth coach Randy McIntyre replaced Bond with Doug Rollins and Chipchasc promptly initiated the goalie by burning him with the same move. Rounding out the scoring for the locals were Ray Cousineau, Scott Schiedel and Robinson. "1 thought it was going to be a lot tougher than it was," said coach John Kenrick of the contest. "1 thought we were going to be hurt on defense but the boys really played well." The Hawks were without the ser- vices of defensemen Allan Blom- maert and Jeff Dalrymple. Lewis went out in the first period when he re-injured his knee and Jamie Cor- nish had the flu. Nathan Blight had a great game in picking up the slack. Exeter 5, Lambeth 4 The Hawks held off a determined Lancer team before a good crowd in Exeter Friday night, squeaking out a 5-4 victory. Doug Clark opened the scoring six minutes in and netted the win- ner with six minutes left in the sec- ond game of the series. Also scoring were Paul Manders, Schiedel and Chipchase. Jason Bu- kela was steady in goal turning aside 31 shots. Exeter 8, Lambeth 3 In Lambeth Wednesday, goal- RINGETTE lender Clint McGann settled down after a 'shaky sten to give die Hawks the Solid goaltending they needed. Despite outshooting the Lancers 20-6 in the first period Exeter trailed the game 2-1. But hard worst finally paid off in the second when the Hawks began to pounce on some loose pucks. Shackleton and Robinson each had a pair and singles went to Manders, Clark, Schiedel and Dan Ryan. Depending on the outcome of last night (Tuesday's) game, the locals will either play in Lambeth Sunday night or await their next opponent, most likely the Mitchell Hawks.
