Last Saturday night the team travelled
to Sarnia Township. For the first two
periods the spectators enjoyed some enter-
taining hockey as both teams made ex-
cellent plays up and down the ice. Shawn
Currie played superbly in goal for
Goderich stopping the initial shot and then
turning aside many rebotmd shots as well.
Only at the 11:11 Mark of the second period
did Sarnia score its first goal.
In the third period, nothing seemed to go
right for the team and even the breaks
went against them. The team was unable
to maintain the intensity it had shown in
the first two periods, especially after Sar-
' nia scored within 53 seconds and then
again on a powerplay 'goal at the 2:48
mark. This goal seemed to be a turning
point as Sarnia Township added three
more goals before the end of the period and
the game. Final score was 6-0 fbr Sarnia.
Sunday afternoon the Bantams again
travelled -out of town. to Wallaceburg for• a

although Jason Million and :Shawn Curd',
were playing well defensively. Goderich
opened the scoring late in the period on a
goal by Brian bane assisted by George'
Sideris and Jeff Boyce. No sooner had they '
changed ends for period two when
Wallaceburg netted two quick goals Within
the first minutes. Again penalties hurt the
team as a couple of powerplay goals put
Wallaceburg ahead 4-1 by the end of the
period. •M
In period three Wallaceburg scored
quickly to go ahead_•5-1 but after the ejec-
tion of players from both sides the teams
settled down. Greg DeWigter scored the
second Goderich goal on assists by Lane
and Chris O'Neill. Wallaceburg then
tallied two more goals to make it 7-2. With
about seven minutes to play the Goderich
team made a game of it spurred ort -fly a
great individual rush by Greg Alcock that
resulted in. an unassisted goal. Still trying
to the final buzzer, Goderich scored its
fourth goal with only 47 seconds left on a
'deke by Tim Hak-rison after passes from
Alcock and Lane. The final scbi°,e %VA a 7-4
