At 5:48 Bob J'ol stun, with a lead pass snit Doug Leitch on a breakaway and DOW made no mistake in firing.it home. A minute later Fergus got just reward for their hard work as they tied the Ironmen up in their own end. Steve Harper picked up a rebound from Garr Kurtz's point-blank shot to close the gap 2-1 for the Ironmen at the end,of the first. The second period was ex- citing.. It had everything, good end-to-end rushes, good goaltend- ing and lots of penalties. The teams traded goals as Fergus;; tied it up on Randy Genie's goal, at 5:23 and Carl Stanley !sent the Ironmen ahead 3-2 with a zoom- ing sizzler from just inside the blueline. Fergus sharpshooter Gary Kurtz_ evened the count at 7:40, With the score all tied up excite- ment mounted and most fans were on their feet enjoying every minute of good hockey action. Then it happened! With the man advantage the Ironmen power overpowered reen Mcidiine play backfired and a breakaway by Craig Robinson at 13:55 shot Fergus into a 4-3 lead. But Wing- ham took little time in evening it up, 17 seconds to be exact, and it was a perfect shat from just inside the blueline by defence- man Mark Chisholm. As the clock ran the time to less than two minutes to play, it looked like it would end a tie. But that Fergus Green Machine was intent on keeping playoff hopes alive as they pulled out full throttle. Randy Booker threaded one through an impossible open- ing and they had a 5-4 lead. The Ironmen yanked their goalie in an effort to even the count but the manoeuvre backfired and Randy - Gerrie let one go from deep in his .own end and it found its way into the open net..The time clock read one second to play. It was a happy Fergus team that skated off the ice with Mrs 6-4 win. It was a big win for them and kept their slim playoff hopes alive. WHISTLE STOPS . . . What a game! The Ironmen weren't able to treat the large number of families on .hand with a win as those Fergus boys with their backs to the wall just never stopped skating ... Carl Stanley was the top Ironman of the 'night - Be skated miles and' came up with two big goals. For Fergus their real bright light was Cap- tain Gary Kurtz. He was dyna- mite from the blueline in and the fronren's failure to blanket with a shadow proved their down- fall as he picked up one goal and set up three others . . . The Fergus b. rother act of Rob and Randy Booker seemed to be put- ting out a little extra effort with cousins Jim and Jayne English in the crowd. Randy came up with that big winning goal ... Yes, the Fergus Green Machine had all wheels rolling and motors run- ning at full speed in this one, as they out -hustled the Ironmen time and time again ... It looks like Fergus coach John O'Halloran is trying to nose out Ironmen coach George Skinn for most bench penalties. He ap- peared to get his team into trouble with two penalties in the latter stages of the second period, but he was rescued from embar- rassment by a rather costly 10 minutes fighting penalty picked up by the Ironmen .. Five local children went home happy. Radios were won by Todd Rintoul, David Nesbitt and Greg Walton; Sherry Congram won free passes for the Midget Tournament and Robert Wharton won the bicycle .. . It is expected playoffs will start next weekend, but opposition, place and dates of games will not be decided until. Arthur and Port Elgin finish their schedule this week ... Keep tuned to the local radio station and plan on getting out and supporting the Ironmen, in the upcoming playoffs. 79�A#ei i#WnYv Febrility 13,11078—Page l OHMA pi offs underway A The OM* pIay f are way aln Winn In all 'eater go A om, Peak*, Bantam and 'Midget-^ve found them- selves pitted against their counterparts from Mitchell.

The third period brought four goals from the Mitchell team. The Wingham skaters continued to put forth a good effort, but neither lady luck nor the goal light would .shine for them.
