MARCH 9. 1978 Vanastra curlers rrzake playoffs By Ashley Geddes The Vanastra intermediate curling team have made it to the OCA playoffs after winning in three curling tournaments in the last three weeks. The OCA playoffs will be held in Brampton March 15, 16 and 17 with eight provincial finalist teams taking part. Vanastra will play in a round- robin series with Toronto, Elmira, Niagara Falls, Orillia, Weston, Kingston and Gananoque. Team players for Vanastra are: Don Mit- chelmore, skip; Ron Chutter, third; Ivan Lince, second; Cliff Parker, lead. Cliff Parker said Monday he hoped the team would be able to take part in the playoffs. He said the players are not sure if they can all get the weekend off to go . to Brampton. If one of the players had to be replaced he said another player could play in his place but if more than one can't make it the team would have to back out and the runners-up, Chatham, would be allowed to play instead. "I hope we can all get off Clinton Colts down 3-1 The Clinton Colts Inter- mediate C hockey team are down three to one in games in a playoff series with Mitchell. They won .their first game against Mitchell last Friday night but they need three more wins in a row to win the best -of -seven series. Two weeks ago, the team was beaten first in Mitchell 6- 2 and then in Clinton 10-8. Last Friday night, the team had their first victory in Mitchell winning 7-2. Derwin Carter scored in the first period with Dave McClure and John Feeney assisting tying the score 1-1. Then in the second period Rob Mayer put the Colts ahead but Mitchell soon answered the goal equalling the score once again. From o then on it was Clinton all the way. Derwin Carter made it 3-2 with McClure and Mayer assisting and then McClure scored with Feeney assisting. Going into the third period, it was 4-2 for the Colts. Harvey Carter picked up two goals with Richard Carter and Brad Morgan assisting and Dave McClure scored the final goal, with Derwin Carter getting the assist. Game four of the series was in Clinton, but Mitchell squeaked by 3-2. John Feeney scored for the Colts with Derwin Carter and Bud Boyes assisting and then Dennis Kelly got a goal with Feeney and Boyes assisting. The next game of the series will be in Mitchell this Friday, March 10 work," said Parker. "We're hoping we 'ran stay tnnether as a group." Three weeks ago, the team played a 13B series playoff competition in Hanover with Exeter, Goderich, Hanover and Listowel. Vanastra won both their games against Exeter and Hanover. In Seaforth two weeks ago, the team, were the overall winners in the 13A district competition winning two games straight. Thirteen teams took part. The team won two out of three games in Chatham last Sunday in a competition with the winners of districts, 13, 14, 15and 16, representing Southern Ontario. The game agaisnt St. Thomas was won 4-3 and the game against Chatham won 6-4. Elmira beat Vanastra 9-4. Still the team came out winners of the competition. In Brampton next week, the team will play two teams the first day, three teams the second day and two teams the last day. In the event of a tie the teams would have a tie - breaking game. Mustangs out After dominating the Central Junior C League all season, the Clinton Mustangs have been eliminated. The Walkerton Black Hawks put them out of action for good last Wednesday in Walkerton by a score of 5-1. This was the sixth game in a best -of -seven series. Walkerton won four of the games, Clinton had one victory and the other game was tied. The series was marked by one controversial game. The ▪ game Sunday, March 4 went into overtime as the score was tied 3-3. In overtime Clinton scored making it 4-3 but the goal was protested by Walkerton because of a ruling that overtime can only go one Ramblings from the races By Lois Gibbings Melo Victory, owned by Wm.

The OHA ruled that since the score had been 3-3 at the end of ten minutes, the Mustangs did not win the game. However, this was only one of the games of the" series and the Mustangs were finally clearly edged out losing four other games. Walkerton defeated Listowel 3-2 in the. opening game of best -of -seven finals.

By Gwen Patterson As usual, there is another heavy week of Bonspiel ac- tion to report. Last Wed- nesday, the Bonspiel Com- mittee hosted the Farmer's Open sponsored by McGavin Farm Machinery. The 9 a.m. draw was won by • Doug Rathwell from Listowel and Ken Innes from Brussels won second. Third prize went to Seaforth's entry skipped by .Bob Fotheringham with Murray Forbes, Bruce Coleman and David St. • Marie* and con- solation went to Mervin Falconer from Vanastra.

Third went to the Ross Veitch rink from Brussels and consolation went to John Patterson Sr. with Dave Cornish, Don Deighton and Ian McAllister. Also on Wednesday, March I st, a rink of Seaforth curlers travleed to London to curl in the London •Insurance Agencies' Spiel at the Ivanhoe. They came home with the trophy as top win- ners of the day. I understand the competition was tough; especially their first game. I'm told it was a stacked rink from London! The fellows kept their minds on the game however and managed a 15 - 1 win over them. Representing Seaforth was Doug Rowcliffe, Ken Cardno, John Moore and Norm Bessie. The trophy can be viewed at Eaton's Insurance. A mixed rink entered the two-day Harriston Spiel and came home with their prize for the early draw. The rink, skipped by Gerald Smith, with Nancy Smith and Gordon and Irma Pryce won their two games on Saturday, but lost the Sunday game. ' Also, on Saturday, a rink of Seaforth ladies came out with ( top honours at the Vanastra Ladies Open. Winning top prize for the day was Marg Makins with her rink of Roxanne Brown, Sharon Wilson and Marg Allen. On Sunday, the Silver Tankard sub -division playoffs were held in Wingham. Only two clubs were entered so Seaforth came up against Goderich. In this double- entl-y event Seaforth was represented by skip Bill Campbell, with Doug Rowcliffe , Gordon Pryce and Neil Dolmage; and by skip Bob Wilson with Don Trremeer Bill Fleming and Bill Lobb. The Seaforth rinks lost 14 - 13 to the Goderich rinks skipped by Jerry Walters and Cam Bogie. Some of the playoff games have been held for the second draw. I don't have a complete list but I understand Bruce Coleman's rink has won the Mixed Draw. I hope to be able to give you a complete list of winners and their teams at the end of the season.
