Five minutes later, Clinton went ahead again on a marker at 5:29, but in the dying seconds of the middle frame, Wingham came back to tie the score on a goal by Creeden from Johnston and Travis Baler. It was in the third period, how- ever, at t e Atoms came apart as the home team scored three un- answered goals to roll over the Wingham team 5-2. The Wingham skaters can play hockey with Clinton, but as with ' many of their opponents this year, they have to use teamwork for a full 60 minutes to make it happen. Wingham 3, Mitchell 1 .

Neil Mowbray got the assist on that one. From that poifit on, however, the locals seemed to relax.. Mitchell tried to mount a comeback, but it didn't click until about 4hree Minutes into the third period When Martin Vandehoven netted one from a sharp angle. That goal lit a fire under the Mitchell players, but didn't seem to help Wingham at all.
