CHEVROLET • OLDSMOBILE • CADILLAC 920 ONTARIO STREET 271-4680 half when Sailor Ron McKay got one past McClement to break the two -all deadlock. But that lead held for only nine seconds when Walker responded with an unassisted effort to send both teams off the ice tied after two periods of play. The Ironmen came out flying in the third and it was f'riestap who broke the tie as he dented the twine for his second of the day, with Murray and Richard Bowman assisting. The Sailors were not about to let up and tallied for one last marker 'at 15:53 of the final frame. Ironically it was ex -Sailor Darrell Durnin who got the game winner when he tapped home a Mark McBride rebound at the 10:58 mark. Paul ul Tol ton got an insurance marker at 9:24 to ice the win for Wingham with. Dan Gilchrist assisting on the play. The prettiest goal came as Bre Martin, Brophy and Walker bro the ice. It was an excellent three way passing play with Mart sending it home to give the Ironmen the 7-4 victory. The player of the game was Iron man Priestap. Friday night's game was a bi disappointment for the Ironmen as tt oke WOAA HONOR A WARD Bruce-:Wifliams of Listowel, formerly of Wallace Township, is this year's , recipient of the WOAA Honor in Award for his many years of dedication to minor sports. Hugh Hodges of Clinton, a WOAA life member, made the presentation to Mr. Williams at the WOAA annual meeting last week in Wingham. they were hoping to avenge the loss they had suffered to the Bears the previous Sunday. But, instead, they came home on the bottom end of a 7- 2 count. The Ironmen were short-staffed for this match and it showed as the wheels just simply, weren't there the only two goals were scored in the final minute of the firstperiod. The Bears took advantage of the opport° inity and romped to a big 7-2 upset. Wingham goal scorers were Gilchrist, assisted by Bowman and Jason Goodall, assisted by Flett. IRON MARKERS One bright spot in Friday night's match -up was that both teams played penalty -free for the entire game. Sunday's game was almost as calm with only five minor penalties called in that game. The Ironmen had a little more bench strength for Sunday's game nd that seems to be the key to ictory with only four games emaining in regular season play. Let's hope for speedy recoveries or J. C. Hewitt and Sandy McDonald, who both are sidelined with injuries, so we can go into the layoffs with a full roster. The Ironmen are idle on Friday ight, but they will travel to Mount orest Saturday night to skate gainst the Patriots and then it's back home on Sunday to play host to he Walkerton Black Hawks. The Ironmen and their executive ould appreciate your support. See ou there. This Sunday is Ironmen Kids' ay. All children under 14, accom- panied by an adult, will get in for ee and two lucky youngsters will eceive autographed Calgary lames hockey sticks as door prizes. a v r f P n F a t w y D fr r F Belgrave Tykes lose to Goderich In their first game on home ice, the Belgrave Tykes lost 15-0 to Goderich last Saturday, Jan. 14.
