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.
