eter Centennials winning their first
senior soccer game in two years.
Trailing 3-0 with about 20 min-
utes left to go against London
Olympic, the host Centennials bat-
tled back to win the South Ontario
Soccer League game 4-3.
Newcomer Mark Winter, who
played centre forward on Sunday,
scored three goals but it was a pen-
alty shot by veteran Chuck Walker
which tied the score 3-3 and set up
Winter's winner with just a couple
of minutes remaining.
The penalty shot came after the
hosts had put a lot of pressure on
the Olympic goal and a London de-
fender knocked the ball over the
crossbar.
"It was a shot by Peter Hakvoort
and the goalie was out of the play,"
described Exeter coach Dick Lord.
The defender was a couple of feet
off the goal line and he put his
hand up which is an automatic pen-
alty shot."
London lost a player in the sec-
ond half who was ejected Eby the
referee after he kicked an Exeter
player which gave the Centennials
the man advantage for a long time.
Going into the 'wind in the first
half, Exeter had trouble getting the
ball out of their half of the field.
Goalie George McEwan, filling in
for the injured Craig Winbow, was
caught going the wrong way on the
fust London goal and dove high
but couldn't get the second one
which went into the top corner.

Centennials record improve to 1-3,

al playground.
The resort community is well
known for its volleyball tourna-
ments on the beach, it's jet,ski races, sailing regattas and fast mov-
ing powerboats but there is another recreational side to this village.
Back behind the Works Deparunent building and squeezed in
along side of the local Legion, is Grand Bend's full-time summer
sports park.
Although that's not what it's officially called, that's what I'll call it
in this column.
There is a ball diamond, soccer field, playground equipment and
tttticently built, a pavilion. Soon add to this, several shuffleboard
'courts which will be use primarily by the Grand Bend Golden Ag-
ers, a senior citizen's group.
This sports park is becoming overcrowded and perhaps its time to
start looking into some additional lands. Grand Bend recently ex-
panded its borders and who knows, perhaps there is a nice spot to
put a sports park.
A community centre would be nice but an arena, in my opinion, is
totally out of the question simply because it would be seldom used
and we have a lot of arenas in this area anyway.
At a recent Grand Bend Council meeting, the local politicians,
who have been supportive of the new shuffleboard courts from the
start, pondered over where the courts should actually be located.
"I think there needs to be further discussion with the Golden Ag-
ers," said councillor Ed Fluter.
The position of the sun, especially after supper, and whether ti*
courts will be fenced, are just a couple of questions which will have
to be answered.

Big local supporter
Ron Dann of the Golden Agers is the driving force behind the
courts, for those who don't know this gentleman, he is very commit-
ted to recreation for seniors in and around the area.
From bowling to shuffleboard to even coaching ball, he's there.
Dann recently helped organize a Fun Fashion Show with the sen-
iors which was a fundraiser for the courts.
He's been to Grand Bend, Bosanquet and Stephen Townships try-
ing to solicit funds for the project
The Golden Agers would have liked to see the courts in by now,
but there are a few minor obstacles; parking is one of them.
"I've given this a lot of thought and we should look at the alterna-
tives," said Grand Bend councillor Bill Uniac who is a member of
the village's recreation committee.
He also said that at one time, the Albert Street parkette had been
considered as a prime spot for the shuffleboard courts but he also
said the pavilion is a good spot for the courts.
"It's going to maximize the investment the Lions Club has made,"
he said of the group which has been a driving force behind the pa-
vilion.
The overcrowding of the entire area which bas the'Works Depart-
ment building, Legion, fire hall, Municipal building, bank and PUC
all close yagether as wall as a closed in area used as a compound fix

Grand Bend would be wise if itwereto hire a summer swdent who
was studying planning, and have them come up with an idea which
could help ease the confusion in that entire area. -
The village has put a lot of time and effort into their long range
plans, maybe they should look at some immediate concerns.
