If you were there on Sunday then you know how swell we were and if you Weren't I'm going to tell you how swell we were!! We "versused" Oakridge Soccer Club and bettered them by a score of 9-0, A shut -out, to boot! (pun!) Ain't we a ' caution?? As I've repeatedly pointed out before; we always seem. to play in weird weather and why shOuld this day be any.. different? The day began hot and humid, turning to rain (I sound like the Channel 7 weathergirl !) and we were stuck with it. The field is kept in good condition by the Parks Dept. and they always cut the grass for each game - but the sidelines were left a tiny bit overgrown this week and after the first downpour of rain had ceased, the humidity and steamy heat were pretty unbearable and standing in that high grass, I had the strangest sensation of being in the jungle! I kept expecting a marauding lion (or at least an oversized tom cat) to pounce out and "suit up" for the mtach. Well, back from the Safari and on to the Soccer - The starting half was' our game from beginning to end. Goderich United played a unified co-ordinated and skillful 45 minutes. . They covered, checked and challenged the Oakridge players to a man and we made • good use of every opportunity. When one tnan moved in for the ball, another moved up to aid this player's position, and so on. It was really heartening to watch United perform so expertly. Oakridge was an excellent team to play; lots of "go" and plenty of intelligent players. The starting whistle hadn't been sounded too, many minutes, when John Gottschalk started off in the 'scoring sweepstakes and shot in our first goal after taking advantage of an opening and came through to shoot a lovely ball in for United. That's all our fellas needed to spur .them on with greater enthusiasm and moments later, the "Big H" 'Harold Refflinghaus headed one fantastic shot on net and the ball landed squarely at its target! With two down, Oakridge really pressed for some leverage, but no way would United let that happen. (Power -mad, one and all! !) Midway through this half, Harold Pga n gained control of the ball and .with beautiful precision; he •"schmucked" that third goal in the opposition's net with practised ease! ' Further play resumed with United fairly a-flyin' ! Bali -- control seemed to be the main order of the day and many team members displayed their expertise;,. setting up' skillful plays and carrying through to a successful "fait , . accomplis". In the final wind-up moments of this half, an excellent opportunity was handed to lain Lambert and he rose to the occasion, totalling up the fourth goal of the ' ' match! Happiness is.getting-goats! When the referee's whistle called us to the last half of • - the game, everyone was pretty bushed, (back to the bah again ! what with the constant running in rain and heat, And as might be expected, we bogged down and didnit sparkle quite as brightly as during the first part of the game. We managed .to hold our strong position but Oakridge bore down and laidme heavy challenges on us and it was with team perseverance and solidarity that kept the. match going our way: - Carl Moller was giveh a bit -heavier workout as th opposition brought the ball in our zone time'after time, Carl had made some lovely saves in the first half and although he didn't deflect any shots that he couldn't handle, he "protected. our net admirably and was definitely a contributing, faCtor in the team's taking this game by another shut-out.•Two in a row says quite a bit doesn't it? With obvious relief and joy, the ending of the gathe, created a stampede for the showers such. as history has never recorded! , There was one player 'who stood out during this entire game:(and that was quite a feat because everyone played extremely' proficiently) and that person was Harold Refflinghaus. He was beyond description because he was 'on top of the play all the way. He was here, there and. everywhere! Harold,is a fascinating fella to watch. He defies any and all "flak" to do the job he was positioned t� do. I haven't seen Harold play so -well for quite a while. (It was' certainly worth the wait). Thanks for a fantastic performance "Big H" Another steadying influence on the field was John Gottschalk. His fortitude and unflagging efforts are a benefit to the team. He gives his best, always.(No half - measures for John! ) In passing, I'd like to 'make reference to a newcomer - for this particular game; Karl Teichert. Karl played really well and adjusted to the team's style of soccer, quickly and efficiently. He's a born hustler and full of determination! Way to boogie "FLASH"! Congratulations,,on this win, United! Mystery; "What rookie -type person waS spotted at halftime drinking, of all.things - milk??" The 4th Division tearri,, the Police Falcons, lost their game on Sunday 3-2. It was close and I felt sure they'd win as most of the game was theirs. But that's fate for you! Gord McLellan and Brian MacKenzie scored. Good going, guys !„..(note. the alliteration!)

Junior soccer afternoon. Last week the junior Vikings played to a 1-1 tie with Mitchell Secondary' School 'in a sudden death Huron Perth semi-final game. The contest could be best described as a marathon as the teams played unsuccessfully for three hours to determine the entrant into the final against St. _Mary's. Finally -the referee realizing that the game was an exercse in futility opted to have the contest replayed:, . . The 'Vikings fell behind in • that first game as Mitchell cored a goal late in the first - half to take a 1-0 lead. The Vikings pressed in the second half and Ian Lambert notched the equalizer early in the second half on a penalty shot that sent the game into over- time. The game then continued for two hours on a sudden death situation and one can merely speculate as to the number of . overtime ' periods that were . played.
