Far left is Exeter Tae Kwon Do in- structor Sal Visouvath. Lions Club supports junior Tae Kwon Do competitor EXETER - A student of Exeter Tae Kwon Do returned recently from the World Junior Champion- ships held in Barcelona, Spain. Robert Khamsouk, 15, earned the opportunity to compete at the Inter- national event after making the Ca- nadian National Junior team in May. In his first fight, Khamsouk was matched up against a flyweight from Korea, but the Korean fighter didn't make his weight requirement so Khamsouk received a "bye" into the next round. His next opponent, from Malaysia proved to be a for- midable contender. The fight was close but the Malaysian won. • "His technique was very good. He found a way to counter my kicks." said Khamsouk about the fight. No one on the Canadian team won a medal, however, Khamsouk said it was a tremendous honor to be able to represent Canada at the first ever Junior World Champion- ships. His instructor, Sai Visouvath said he was proud of his effort and de- termination adding Khamsouk trained intensely five times a week for six weeks prior to the competi- tion including a gruelling training session once a week with fourth de- gree black belt, James Taylor, Headmaster of Bluewater Tae Kwon Do in Sarnia. Visouvath said the experience Robert gained in Spain would be valuable for him and the rest of his peers at Exeter Tae Kwon Do. "My goal is to take local people and turn them into national com- petitors. Robert has gained inter- national experience in Spain and that's something I can't teach him," said Visouvath. Khamsouk said he would like to thank the Exeter Lions Club who supported him by donating a cheque for $500 to help offset his expenses from travelling to Bar- celona. The next World Junior Tae Kwon Do Championships will be held in Anaheim, California and Kham- souk plans to qualify again for his second attempt at a world medal. He- also has his eye on the 2000 Olympics Games when Tae Kwon Do officially becomes an Olympic sport. mow..►~. �� • C.'_:°!1 NHRA brag Racing Results Grand Bend Motorplex Saturday - Buick Day July 27 Buick Race: Drew Edwards, Livonia, Mi, 12.634 at 87.00 mph defeat- ed Jini Lee, London, 12.958 at 107.93 mph Powder Puff: Gail Stefan, Orangeville, 14.617 at 92.35 mph defeated Cheryl Simpson, Thornton Trophy Stock:Larry Satchell, St. Thomas, 17.695 at 69.72 mph de- feated Jeretny Fournic, Sarnia, 117.758 at 72.69 mph Trophy Mod Stock: Mark Brand, Exeter, 14.860 at 85.22 mph de- feated David Young, Whitby, 12.630 at 93.07 mph Asphalt Sled: Chris Haugh, Exeter, 10.876 at 118.57 mph defeated Rob Watson, London, 11.683 at 1 1 1.75 mph Jr. Dragster: Jimmy Dunton, London, 10.429 (10.26 dial; .638 RT) at 58.28 mph defeated Chelsea Frcidland, Port Huron, Mi., 14.938 (14.89 dial; 1.182 RT) at 41.37 mph Lawn bowling July 16 Ray Smith Lawrence Russell Willa Williams.

But the Express lose big to Lakeside EXETER - After winning their first playoff game 8-6 against Port Elgin on Sunday, the Exeter Ex- press lost their second game of the day 12-3 to Lakeside. Exeter began their Ontario Base- ball Association playoff opener at noon against Port Elgin with a poor start falling behind 5-0. Port Elgin is an all-star team consisting of the best players from Pon Elgin, Owen Sound, Hanover and Walkerton. They took to the bats quickly tak- ing advantage of a nervous defense getting several cheap hits off Exet- er Pitcher Scot Russell. However, it was Russell who turned things around with a grand slam home run with the bases load- ed. The four runs gave Exeter a strong foothold on offense and the momentum carried through with the Express scoring three more to win the game 8-6. The hit also boosted Russell's confidence on the mound and he eventually earned the win scat- tering eight hits, six of which came in the first inning. "He was in control from that point on," said co -coach Doug Fair- bairn about Russell's pitching after his home run. Coaching staff Joe Fulop and Fairbairn expected the momentum of the dramatic come -from -behind win would carry over to their next game that afternoon against the league leading Lakeside; however, Exeter ended up on the wrong side of a 12-3 score. Eight errors contributed to 10 un- earned runs against Exeter pitchers Don Masse and Paul Elston. Fair- bairn said the team played like they were content with the first win. "They played like the game didn't mean much and they wanted to get it over with," said Fairbairn. Exeter came close to making it a game pulling within one run as a result of perfect bunts from Mike Agnew and Mark Russell. On Thursday Exeter lost another lopsided game to Listowel 18-8. The over-extended pitching staff couldn't hold off the strong hitting team as Listowel scored 18 runs on 18 hits. Exeter had a total of 11 hits in the game with Paul Smith blasting a home run with three runners on base. Mike Agnew also shot one rounding himself around the bases on a tremendous solo effort. But it wasn't enough as Listowel went on to win by eight. Fairbairn said he wasn't surprised about the loss because they played a conservative game to reserve themselves for the more important O.B.A. game three days later. "We certainly didn't go into it with all our guns blazing," he said. Last Tuesday Exeter came through with a strong game to beat Strathroy 14-4. They took ad- vantage of all 11 hits and nine walks scoring six runs in the first inning, one in the second, one in the fifth, three in the sixth and three in the seventh. Solid pitching held the Strathroy batters in check as many Merner pitched more than five innings giv- ing up only 10 hits for four runs. Dan Masse relieved him giving up one hit. By the end of the weekend the Express finished an 11 game in 14 days schedule and Fulop said it has taken its toll on the team. Players are physically and mentally • ex- hausted, especially the pitching staff and veteran hitter Don Mac- donald is out of action for three weeks with a sore ankle. Coaches intend on giving everyone a full week off but first they need to com- plete their Teague schedule against Strathroy at home Tuesday. Results were not known at press time. The best two out of three series against Port Elgin will continue in Owen Sound on August 10. A loss will force a third game the same day, but a win will secure a spot at the O.B.A playoff tournament on the Labor Day weekend in Till- sonburg. Centennials lose bid for Second Division Cup EXETER - The Exeter Centenni- als suffered two disappointing loss- es this past week, each with a final score of 1-0. In the second round of the Divi- sion 2 Cup, Exeter took on the Woodstock Stallions on Thursday. The game was a second date be- tween the two teams as Woodstock failed to show for the first schue- duled game. Everything seemed to be going the Centennials' way when Jeff Lingard and Dan Martens each had good scoring chances in the first 15 minutes. Ruud Veldhuizen and Ruban Chelladurai set up some key scor- ing drives, but, as has been the case lately, the strikers just couldn't find the back of the net. Woodstock seemed to have a better understand- ing of the need to make good on the few scoring chances that were corn- ing and a deflected cross snuck into the far corner to win the game in the first half. The Centennials welcomed back their centre -defense tandem of Joe D'Ariano and Joe Martens, but each was still nursing an injury. It didn't show, as they helped keep the Woodstock strikers at bay for most of the remainder of the game. The loss ended the Centennials' run at the Division Cup. On Sunday, in a more important league game, Exeter was looking Iorward to a re -match with St. Co- lumban after losing the first contest 1-0 in St. Columban two weeks be- fore. Again, the game opened with clear indications that the Centenni- als were going to turn their fortunes around. Lingard, Veldhuizen, Nick Szabo and Anders Millner all had brilliant chances, but the ones that were on net were directly at the St. Columban keeper. Then, when a penalty shot was awarded to St. Columban on a hand -ball inside the penalty area, keeper George McEwan came up big with a diving save and kept the game scoreless. "I was lucky to have guessed right," said McEwan about the save. "I hoped it would become a real motivator for the guys, but it didn't have that kind of impact." The game stayed tied at zero de- spite more good set ups that ended when John Flanagan nailed a shot that demanded a great save by the, visiting keeper. A shot from Shawn Rotteau also failed to produce a goal as it sailed past the corner. The guests spoiled the tie when they broke out quickly and caught the defense too deep. Flanagan held off the ball carrier, but a wide open striker took the pass and one -timed it behind McEwan. The Centennials get a two-week layoff, during which they can lick their wounds and get some much- needed practise before making a fi- nal run at the league title. Exeter Women's soccer team hands Corunna their first loss_ of season EXETER - The Exeter Womeri's soccer team beat the first place team in the league on Sunday after Cindy Moore notched the only goal of the game with five minutes left to play. Corunna is the top team in their division and have not lost a game yet this season. The last time these two teams met, Corunna won 2-0. Exeter came out very strong with excellent ball control and passing. They had several opportunities to score but fell short each time. Exeter's defence played an outstanding game keeping the Corunna forwards out of their end for most of the first half. Exeter came out equally as strong in the second half with more good scoring opportunities. Cindy Moore was denied on a shot where Corunna goalie just got enough to put the ball over the net. A corner kick was awarded to Exeter because of the play and Heidi Martin just missed the near post on a beautiful head ball. Corunna also had some good chances but goalie Jana Webster played an outstanding and aggressive game denying them eve- ry opportunity to score. Finally with about five min- utes left, Cindy Moore found the net after taking a well placed cross from Kristin Strang to give Exeter the 1-0 win. "We were excited about the win," said Moore. "It showed we can play with the best teams and still Senior Men July 25 First Bill Coleman l)oug Parsons I)on Row',well John Stephens Second Bill Smith Art Webb Bob Dinncy J4 107 A flt. B nt. C nt.

On Friday Exeter played host to a strong team from London. Exeter had troubles form the beginning as they were not playing up to their potential. London took an early 2-0 lead and Exeter could not catch up los- ing 4-0. Exeter Women's Soccer Team travelled to Wal- lacetown on Wednesday and beat the host team 2-1. Exeter started off the scoring about half -way through the first half on a beautiful shot by Kristin Strang which beat the Wallacetown keeper far top corner . Wallacetown tied the game just minutes lat- er on a free kick just outside the 18 yard box which was just out of reach of Exeter's goalie, Jana Web- ster. Even though Exeter created many scoring op- portunities the score remained a tie for most of the game. Finally, with about ten minutes left in the game Kristin Strang found the net once again on a beauti- ful cross by Amy Campbell giving Exeter the 2-1 lead. Wallacetown came out strong after the goal, but Exeter goal keeper Jana Webster denied them any chances of tieing the game, preserving Exeter's win.
