They teamed it takes a full effort to win in the playoffs. Facing elimination in their Onta- rio Hockey Association Develop- ment League west division semi- finals, the Seaforth Centenaires won 7-4. Although the series is now three games to two for Lucan, the mo- mentum seer's to bo in Seaforth's favour. Carne Six is tonight in Sea - forth at 8:30 p.m. with the seventh game, if necessary to be played Thursday in Lucan at 8 p.m. "Of the tour teams in the semi- finals, Seaforth has the least talent," said Centenaries coach Bob Zim- mer after Monday's game. t eaferth-slipped behind 2-Ointhe first period but once starting goalie Jason Pethick was replaced by Dana Duskocy the visitors came to 1 ife. "Our work ethic is as good as the other teams and Lucan has been taking us too lightly," added Zim- mer. Doak by deferncenen Ed Van- Koritoerle and Chris Chater made it 2-0 for the Irish in the first period but Danny Wildfong and Jeff Buck got the Centenaires back in the game. Lucan forward Tim Hayter had a good chance to tie it up but he missed with 55 seconds left in the opening frame. "We had shots that hit the cross- taxon Irish forward. Darren Neil skates away Pethick in Wednesday's playoff game. Junior 'D' roundup in celebration after scoring bar, but they just outplayed us," said Hayter. The walls collapsed for die Irish in the second period as Wildfong 'made it 3-2 before Shawn Morton and Buck cushioned the lead. Bred Schroeder and Steve Schroeder gave Seaford' a 7-2 lead before starting Lucan goalie Bob Szabo took himself out of the game and Matic Dunn wentin.- "You can't take a thing away from them [Seaforth]," and Irish coach Ken Needham.

Late in the game, Irish forward Jon McEachern checked Wildfong from behind, grabbed the Seaforth player's helmet and threw it at him, hitting him and cutting his head.

"We just didn't seem to be able to get on track against Mitchell," said a disappointed each John Kenrick. "I thought we could have given them a little better run, but in the final game at least the boys went down with a fight" Mitchell 7, Exeter 6 The Hawks , jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead Saturday in Mitch- ell, but couldn't hold on as the home team stole the game with just 46 seconds remaining in overtime. Defensemen John Bell got things going just five minutes in when he rushed to join the play and was set up by Shawn Chipchase and Shayne Robinson. Bell then notched his second of the game just over a minute later when he buried a shot from the .point. Ray Cousineau's goal at 10:37 of -.4tlhe first period gave Exeter a 3-0 lead and the Hawks looked to be well on their way. But Mitchell regrouped to pot four goals in a row. and after trad- ing goals, Exeter stood on the brink of elimination. Referee Paul Petrie gave Exeter ,atone of their few breaks of the series when Mitchell's Mike Hodgert was :salted for using an illegal stick. With the Hawks on the powerplay rind time running out, workhorse Scott Schiedel netted the tying goal with one second remaining. In overtime, the teams both en- joyed good scoring opportunities, however Mitchell struck with four minutes remaining to take the lead. But Exeter wasn't about to go down without a fight, tying the awe just 28 seconds later on Cou- A iaew's second goal of the game. 1t stayed that way for the next three minutes with frantic end-to- end action, before Mitchell's Rob 714LidGir re Bouille popped the puck behind Exeter goaltender Clint McCann for the series winner. Mitchell 10, Exeter 2 After a solid first period Friday at home, the Exeter Hawks were dis- graced with a 10-2 loss before a disappointed crowd. John O'Hara got the locals on the board early when he notched his second goal of the series. With Ex- eter shorthanded, O'Hara stole the puck at centre and went in alone on Dennis Scherbarth. O'Hara pulled the puck to his left and after Scher - berth committed himself, O'Hara slipped it under his pad. Mitchell replied with two goals in the first, but the locals hung in just missing on several good chances. Unf{xtusetely, Mitchell wrote the script faiths rest of .the game. As they strttolt;irri+%Broais ainsllhe middle frame art another feat -in the third.

Less than two minutes after he came into the game, Duskocy was given an interference penalty when he got his stick up into Woodbum's face. With six seconds left in the ac- ond period, fights broke out Mite corner of the rink and during the al- tercation, Buck was the third man into a fight when he jumped Dean Hammond. Buck grabbed Hammonds face- mask and kicked him. The above infractions could carry as much -as nine games suspension. Buck was given five minutes for fighting and a game misconduct. "I don't know if they [Seaforth] were doing it on purpose. They're usually not like that. I think they were just .frustrated," said Need- ham, In the'dl*M period, Cetlleltdi:+es' Steve Schroeder crosschecked Chatter from behind which started another series of fights. Later in the game, Schroeder cross-checked VanKerkoerle from behind and was given a five-minute penalty. While Hayter and Wilson were squaring off with their opponents, Jason Fleet jumped off the bench and went after Hayter. Whaley apparently did not see Fleet come off the bench as he was not given an M 27 for leaving the bench. After the game, Hayter said one of the Seaforth players put his hands in Hayter's mouth and pulled leaving the Irish forwards' mouth very bloody.
