Reeve turned in an immaculate three - under 32 on the front side and settled for par 35 on the back. His three -under per- formance on the front featured a birdie two on the par three 156 -yard second hole and an eagle on the par five eighth. He dorve the fairway on eight, pounded a three wood to within three feet of the pin and sunk the eagle putt. If pressure was getting to Reeve, it didn't show until the final hole.

That series is tied at three points each. The Rink Rats could not repeat last week's performance on Tuesday, as they fell victims to the United offense, as United took the game 6-2. Mark Frane opened the scoring early in the game while team-mates Ian Chisholm, Mark Bellinger followed his lead. Frane then netted another goal before the Rats were able to get on the scoreboard. Early in the second period Paul Kelly put the ball behind the United netminder to make the score 4-1, and to keep the Rats hopes alive.

Minutes later Jim Fritzley beat the United team to give the Rats a 2-1 lead. Half -way through the second period Mark Bellinger netted a goal to tie the "B" division can claim fame to the game at two all, but the Rats won the game tightest race in the league. While Cedar with the goal 'scored by Jerry Gayno.', Lodge got off to a fast start with four wins taking the series two games to one. in as many games, watch out for the After the Rebels win last week which gave them a one game lead over Sherwood Express, the Express team tightened their defense making Tuesday's game come to a 3-3 draw.

Slowpitch playoffs could be close As expected, there is a hot battle going on in "A" division between the Port Albert Bulldogs and the Goderich Bears. Although they hold a point advantage, the Bulldogs have played more games. On the Bears' side, they have a 10-9 victory over the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs must win their re -match if they hope to maintain their position. The game will be played on Friday at 9 p.m. on the fastball diamond. Goderich Gas Rise and Goderich Elevators appear to be losing a bit of steam, and the experience of the Goderich Chrysler, Goderich Auto Sales and Coyotes seems to be comi g through. While they will likely finish third, fourth and fifth respectively, they will keep the leaders on their toes. playoff experience of Little Bowl and the sometimes hot bats of Canadian Tire. Although the Renegades have only two points, they have only played three games. When they get rolling they can beat any team in the league. These four teams could provide a tight race to the finish while the Harbour Park Raiders and the Tickers could fill the role of the "spoiler." Division "C" has produced some of the closest and most interesting results in the playoffs to date. Both Meneset and Carlow are on a roll, however, Carlow has the edge with a 15-9 triumph over Meneset. Their re -match could well decide the "C" trophy. Garb and Gear picked up their first victory of the season with a close 12-11 deicsion over Local 1863. Bluewater has matched their season point production with two wins in four playoff games. Sifto Salt, although behind in points, holds games in hand over both the leaders. Only Local 1863 remains pointless with six losses in six games. At the league level, a team represen- tative meeting was held Monday night. They are now open for nominations in every position. GMSL PLAY-OFF STANDINGS TO SUN. AUG. 21 "A" DIVISION Team GP.... W....
