As a result, six players had w muss the games, as they were away at university. The holes in the line-up were filled with the help of had Gilfillan, Luke Sims and Dave Farquhar from the Under -19 boys team. On Wednesday, the visiting Nairn Cardinals gave the Cen- tennials more than they bargained for with only 10 men. Nick Szabo opened the scoring early with a rocket to the corner. Luke Sims followed with a great strike to the near top comer. Nairn my aged to chip one in to end the first half 2-I. l' hen the hosts made it 3-1 on Ruban Chelladurai's penalty kick, everything seemed well in hand. However, a collective team "relax" resulted in the Nairn strikers penetrating and belting home two quick goals to tie it as darkness was falling. Shawn Rotteau did everything to find the net but it wasn't to be. Finally, Ruud Veldhuizen crossed into the box, where Anders Mill- ner headed it home for the 4-3 run. On Monday night the Centennials visited the German Canadians at Cove Rd. in London for a pivotal game against a team just two points ahead of them. Farquhar opened the scoring under the lights with a well-placed shot just inside the near post. Millner made it 2-0 when he pounced on a loose ball in the crease. However, a penalty shot awarded to the hosts broke the shutout and the first half ended at 2-1. A well -hit free kick early in the sec- ond half tied the score and things looked grim for the Centennials. However, Dan Martens took a great feed from Szabo and belted it low and into the corner for the 3-2 lead. Chad Gilfillan completed the scoring when he, too, found the near corner and the visitors took the game 4-2. A playoff spot depends on this weekend when the Centennials must not only beat Lion Kings at home at 4 p.m. Sunday, but they need a Marconi or Forest United Toss as well.

You've got RAV4, for Recreational Active Vehicle 4WD. (Okay, If you have a compulsion to classify these things, it's a -sub- compact sport utility vehicle.") With the full-time 4 wheel drive, 4 -door model you get that great 4x4 feeling and yes, lots of practical stuff like legroom, cargo space and a big rear door. Meanwhile, the 2 - door version comes with the fantastic roadability of front wheel drive (the only subcompact sport utility to have It) plus the wide open spaces of not one, but two available sunroofs. Powered by a twin overhead cam 2.0 Titre engine, RAV4 Is quick and responsive and an out and out blast to drive. Gas mileage, needless to say, is great. RAV4 answers the 'Why should I drive what everyone else drives?" question like nothing ever has before. Now, how much? It's good news. In fact, we have a feeling you're going to drop this paper in your hurry to come have a look. Around $20,000 for the 2 -door, a little more for the 4 -door. See?
