The camp, which will Clinton boys play for soccer cup By Bryan Newington On Saturday Sept. 13 the Clinton Minor Soccer Association hosted the Huron County Minor Soccer Cup Cham- pionships when four games were held: atom A, atom B," mosquito and pee wee. The day turned out a total success because the calibre of soccer was outstanding from all age groups especially from the youngest players. In the first game, the atom B championship, Goderich played Bayfield -Zurich in a great game. The score was 2-2 after regulation time so overtime was necessary.- It- was still tied after the overtime period so penalty shots had to be taken to decide the winner. Finally, Goderich won the 'match but it was unfortunate that one team had to lose. when. the youngsters put so much effort in. In the atofn A game, St. Columban. played Kin- cardine in another action filled game and the outcome could have gone either way but Kin- cardine proved to be too much for St. Columban and Kincardine were declared 'A' champs. The next game saw 9 • Columban to decide mosquito champs. • The calibre of soccer was again excellent and the players from both teams played hard, but the final outrlme saw Goderich defeat St. Columban to receive the mosquito cup champs trophy. The final game of the day saw the only Clinton representative compete for a trophy, when the pee wees faced their toughest opposition all season, Kincardine. Throughout the season Clinton had played hard against Kincardine but ended up losing both games, the first 4-2 and the second 7-1. But last Saturday the Clinton boys wanted their turn to win and in some great play by both teams had everybody on the sidelines thoroughly excited, including both teams coaches. Partway._ .through the first half Clinton's Bobby Ladd scored putting his team ahead 1-0. There were many opportunities at both ends but Kin- cardine seemed to have the edge in shots ex- cellent goalkeeping by Clinton Mark Cantelon kept the score at 1-0. Second from the end of the game, Kincardine was awarded a penalty shot for a Clinton foul. Seeing that most penalty shots result in goals, the Clinton bo}is were disappointed and Kin- cardine was really ex- cited at the chance to tie the score in the late ages o e ga e. The shot was taken and a super save by Mark Cantelon again kept the score the same. Moments later the game ended and Clinton had shutout Kincardine 1-0 and won the Huron County Minor For the fourth year in a row, the Clinton Housewives are the champs of the Huron Ladies Sofball League, as they swept their best of five series with the Clinton Sluggers three games straight.
