Exeter fell behind in the first half despite carrying the play to the Royals when a Delhi player came up with a loose ball and fired it past a diving Craig Winbow. Dave Boersma replied for the Fury when he floated a long shot over the goalie's head for his first goal of the season. Delhi took a 2-1 lead late in the game and looked as if they were destined to win but the fury didn't give up. Pete McAllister spotted Tom Westerveld streaking towards the net and fed him a nice pass. Westerveld made no mistake and blasted a shot past the helpless Royals goal keeper to tie the game at two. A minute later, Boersma carried the ball deep into the Delhi zone before crossing the ball low along the ground where McAllister knocked it in from close range. While protecting the one goal lead, Exeter almost made it 4-0 as McAllister passed the ball to Brett Rideout who was speeding along the left wing. With a tremendous solo effort Rideout worked his way in and levelled a shot that was destined to find the back mesh but was foiled by a quick Delhi goalie who made a textbook save. Fury player Jason McFalls said he was sur- prised at the outcome because the Fury isn't a high scoring team. "When we got behind 2-1 it didn't look good," said McFalls adding the two quick goals they scored late in the game were per- fectly executed plays generated by a whole team effort. Coach Jeff Playfoot credited the team's win to their good listening habits. "They just started doing what I've been tell- ing them to do all year and the breaks started to show up," he said. Playfoot, who has already gained a colorful reputation in the league after being evicted from a game for his fiery comments directed toward a referee, contained himself to a chair positioned along the sidelines since the ref of- ficiating the game was the same one who ban- ished him a few weeks ago.

The 12 day layoff since their last game in Aberfoyle was evident as they were outplayed in all aspects of the game. Fergus ()pelted tate scMidg'in the' .`fourth 'inning as they plated four rubs on three hits and two bases on balls off Exeter starter Steve Cook. With the game no longer in doubt, they added four more runs in the sixth off Cook and reliever Kevin Gooder. Sean Pellow retired the only bat- ter he faced. Cook worked five and one-third innings, giving up six runs on nine hits while walking two and striking out eight. Offensively, Exeter were held to only four hits, a single by catcher Gavin Snell in the first, a double by Darren Kints in the second, a single by Sean Pellow in the fourth and a double by Greg Dalrymple in the seventh. In action this week, the Imperials hosted Mitchell last night with re- sults unknown at press time. The Imperials announced last week that Janet Buchanan, former- ly coach of the Exeter Greys Ladies Fastball club, has agreed to assist as a coach for the balance of the year. Her experience and vast knowledge of the game will be in- valuable as the Ontario Champion- ships and league playoffs approach. Centennials win streak extended to five games LONDON - The Exeter Centen- extended their winning streak to five games with a 3-0 shut out over the Lion Kings. from London on Sunday. Goal monger Jeff Lingard opened the scoring mid -way through the first half with a ter- rific shot to the top corner. Exeter created many more scor- ing opportunities but found them - Selves facing a barrage of shots after the mid -fielders and for- wards allowed the back four de- fenders to become overwhelmed. However, the London attempts were not successful as Ron Wag- ner, Joe D'Ariano and Josh Flan- agan forced the opponents to shoot from the outside and Cen- tennials goal keeper George McE- wan stopped anythinstihat got past his last line of e sce. The second half belonged to the Centennials as they applied the j . sass pressure!,,, t,,r i� .ti ., ,1 Scgring chars created by, .,., Ruud Veldhuizen, Dan Marten' and Ruban Chelladurai finally paid off when Mark Brintnell pounded the ball into the net from a sharp angte after a g mouth scramble.

Irish need new selection policy "Three members, those with hockey knowledge, should be on the selection committee." Dear Editor: I was quite surprised to read in your recent edition that Scott Bogart was not rehired by the Lucan Irish of the Ontario Junior Development Hockey League. Not to slight George Pratt Jr., for he is a good coach as well, but the way in which Scott and his coaching staff was treated is unfortunate and I personally be- lieve a new policy by the Irish should be drawn up. As any hockey person knows, especially those fa- miliar with junior hockey, it takes at least two years to build a winning team, sometimes three. The Irish have always had an excellent winningtrdition and Scott, who replaced Ken Needham was keeping that tradition going. I suggest that the Irish look at giving their coaches a three year contract but more hnportently they look at wh ch members of the executive select the coach- es. It is not necessary for the entire execudve board to be involved in the decision. Three members, those with hockey knowledge, should be on the se- lection committee. Scott Bogart and the entire Bogart family, as I have said in the past, are a traditional coaching fam- ily. They instruct and lead with discipline, hard work and dedication. That combination is very hard to find. I wish Scott all the best in his future hockey quests. I wouldn't be surprised that while I am writ- ing this another junior team has already made him an offer. I want to congratulate him for speaking his mind through the media, he got his point across and I hope the Irish executive paid attention to what he said. In closing, I would like to wish George Pratt and the Irish good luck in the upcoming season and send a special congratulations to the Exeter Hawks for winning the league championship, congress to Rev. Bart and all the rest. Sincerely, Pred Groves, Klactellitte Baseball roundup Just. 21 - Mitchell toesuanneat Dashwood 3 vs Daeipter 12 Pltebent Braydea Lord (2 strikeouts).
