The Wingham Advance -Times, Nov. 21, 1984—Page 13 n oJnr on Fridayni ht �o�t �.�ck o Royals d St. ler see page 2A . 6 •`t" The Wingham R yals weathered some heavy going fOlios!`.6.t? 8-6 victory over St. Clements in a stiff encounter last Friday night, extending their undefeated record to seven games. The Royals jumped into an early 5-0 lead in the game, but then required three third -period goals to clinch 'the win after St. Clements had battled back to tie the score at 5-5. As in previous encounters with St. Clements, there was a steady parade to the penalty boxes. St. Clements was on -the receiving end of 14 of the 27 citations handed out, with Wingham called for 13. The only major penalty in the match was a high - sticking call against Wingham goaltender Brian O'Connell in the second peiod, but there were more t lance f calls for roughing during the course of the game, ost going against St. Clements. O'Connell, in ' just his second start for the Royals this season, quickly found himself in the thick of the fray as St. Clements crowded the goal crease all evening, producing a series of penalties to the goaltender and his defencemen as they tried to clear them out. O'Connell was fingered for three calls, including the major, with defencemen Mike. Watson and Pete Goodall each picking up a - couple of trips to the penalty box as a result of their ef- forts on his behalf. Ken Cousins continued to lead the Royals on the scoreboard, with a pair of goals and two assists to add tohis already impressive total. Captain Dave. Stephenson also had a pair of goals, with the othersgoing to Sandy Fitzgerald, Dave Golley, Jay MacLaurin and Len Stainper. Mark Foxton had three assists in the game. Wingham got off to a good start, taking a 3-0 lead in the first period on a couple of goals by Cousins and one by Stephenson. Fitzgerald and Golley then tallied in the second period to give the Royals a comfortable 5-0 edge by the midway point. However, three quick goals by St. Clements during the latter half of the period, two of them power -play markers scored during the major penalty to O'Connell, and two more during the first five minutes of the third period left the teams on even terms with 15 minutes to go in the game. Despite the setback, the Royals refused to give up and as during previous games this season even- tually the discipline and hard work paid off. Stephenson's second goal of the night, from Brian Ten Pas, with 11:06 left in the match put the Royals back in front 6-5. MacLaurin's goal, from Stamper, three minutes later was the eventual winner, giving Wingham a 7-5 lead, and Stamper's goal on a power play with 3:34 showing on the clock provided some breathing room. St. Clements scored a last- ` gasp goal, a short-handed effort with 1:14 remaining; to make the final score 8-6, but couldn't come any closer. With the win, the Royal record is now 5-0-2 heading into this weekend's rematch with the Lucknow Lancers Friday night at the Wingham Rockers defeat Lions Midgets win one.
