Royals Lfl' hard4ought match By Bill Johnston The Wingham. Royals went down to a 4-2 defeat at the hands of the high -flying Teeswater Falcons in WOAA Intermediate hockey action at Teeswater early Sunday afternoon. Teeswater opened the 'scoring at 2:44 as Barry Ross flipped a pass to Bevin Kennedy at the goal crease and he relayed it into the net. The Royals roared back at 11:31 on a power play as Rick Jacklin, from behind the net, fed a perfect pass to Sandy Fitzgerald breaking for the net and it was a 1-1 tie. In a close -checking second period, Teeswater picked up • the go-ahead goal as Wayne Johnston rifled one into the net from the slot with Larry Meyer and Dave MacDonald assisting. Hitting the ice in the third down by one but with the. man advantage, the Royals ,,........ ,psessed.hard to no avail as Falcon goalie Dave Gain ble • came up with several;, big saves. ik At 4:07, Teeswater's Dave • Cronin fired a wrist shot which took a sharp dip, beating Royal goalie • Ron \mith on the glove side. Teeswater. raised the count •to 4-1 on a power play goal by Bruce 'Kennedy. The Royals kept working and Rieji MacLennan dented the twine for the final goal of the game. At the final buzzer, after two losses to the Royals, Teeswater had racked up its first win with a 4-2 victory. WHISTLE STOPS— Failure of the power play to come through with a goal when the Royals enjoyed a man advantage for the first three minutes of the third while they were down one goal proved to be their down- fall. Killing off that penalty gave the Falcons a big lift and was a big factor in their win. The Royals came up with several good scoring chances, but hot goal tending by Dave Gamble had more than one Royal a mite frustrated. For the Royals, Randy Clarke played a strong two - 'way. garne, wo- 'waygarne, using the body to advantage more than once. The best check of the game was dished, out by the Belgrave Bruiser, Murray Black. Black also took a blistering blast on ,the leg, and Teeswater's .

The game seemed sluggish for the first two periods both teams playing cautiously. Had it not been for the fine work of Wingham's Bloemberg, Greg Deyell and Jason Elalzer.,.--the.. outcome . . may have been different. Wingham took a 2-1 lead going into the third period on goals by Todd Chadwick and Peter Poulin. In the third period, the local ''squad took over, scoring four unanswered goals and' completely dominating the play. Third period markers were scored by Rob Harrison with two, David McKee and Chadwick, each with singles. Assists went toy 1Chris Heibein ' with'. two and Bloemberg, Rob McKay, Ryan Deyell, Dean Tolton and Balzer. ' Chris Heibein had a good game for Wingham, - fore - checking t • hard -r. throe o the•game and picking up tvt/o points. Wingham hosts Brussels this Friday at 6:30 p.m. and no doubt they will be out to' gainrevenge.' BILECAMERON of the Wingham Lions was hauled down in the act of shooting during a Wingham power play. He got the shot away, but Jeff McGavin in the Brussels net had it covered all the way as Brussels downed Wingham 6-4 in a game Thursday night. Underdogs prevail in Midget match BELGRAVE — A classic David and Goliath struggle took place in the Wingham arena last Thursday night as the Wingham Midgets took on the Brussels Midgets in a WOAA league game. Led by two -goal perform- ances by Marty Rutledge and Andy Nethery and. su- perb goaltending by Jeff McGavin, the whole Brussels team out -hustled, out -work- ed and finally out -scored the highly favored Wingham boys to the tune of 6-4. • Although Wingham may prefer its opposition from such distant spots as Owen Sound, last week's game proves that teams •much closer to;home can give them all the opposition they can handle. Take heart, Canada's, Olympic team: the mighty can be beaten. Just ask the Brussels Midgets: - Phone 357-1630 for 24 hour movie information " LAST TWO DAYS FOR PLAYING FROM FRI. TO THURS.

If not for the power play, the team might 'easily have suffered a humiliating defeat. Showing a complete lack of desire and even less in the way of a cohesive offensive attack, the team fell into the win. The power play ac- counted for seven goals, with the Ironmen scoring five times while surrendering two goals to Walkerton while they had a man advantage. Even with a five -goal production, the power play was inept. The Ironmein enjoyed the man advantage for more than a 20 -minute period as the Black Hawks took 24 minor penalties. One note on the team's behalf concerns the regrettable performance of the referee. The official did a pathetic job of refereeing the match, sending an almost endless parade of players to the penalty box with a total of 24 minors called against Walkerton and 16 against Wingham. The many unnecessary calls completely destroyed any resemblance to a hockey game, as the flow of play virtually stood still, frustrating players on both benches. ' Kevin Coultes broke the scoreless tie at 7:05 of the first period as Jim LeGrand returned from the penalty box following a two -minute minor. The pair worked the give -and -go, with Coultes taking a good return pass and firing the puck low to the stick side corner. Paul. Snodgrass evened the count while the Hawks played shorthanded. Following a faceoff deep in Walkerton territory, the, puck was flipped back to the left point, where it bounced over the point man's stick. idgham Blues play well Brussels nips Lions Lions in Sweetheart tourney 6-4 in Midget action r By Jane Vath The Wingham Blues Intermediate ladies headed out to Plattsville early Saturday morning to com- pete in th-e 12th annual Sweetheart Tournament. Wingham faced tough competition in its first game against the Dundalk Flyerettes. The Dundalk skaters were frustrated time and time again as Wingham netminder Estlier Nethery turned away many hard, shots. Their persistence finally paid off, however, as they managed to put two shots past Nethery. A scramble in front of ithe Dundalk net resulted in Jane Vath scoring the only Wingham goal, assisted by Tharon Riley and Carol Vander Woude The Blues then defeated Brantford 1-0 to advance to the B semi-finals 'on Sunday afternoon. This close -checking game was possibly the best effort put forthby the Blues all season. Everyone played at her peak to hold off the tough Brantford team. • The only goal of the game was scored' by Vander Wottde, who dwelled the puck over the blueline and put a slapshot past tine 'goaltender .n from close range. In semi-final action Sunday, Wingham .came up on the short end of a 2-1 loss. Dianne Golley put Wingham- on the scoreboard early in the first with' a wrist shot from the slot.

Ron Pryce scored four goals for Seaforth, while P. Murray and M. Betties had singles. Goderich defeated by Optimist Tykes In spite of stiff com- petition, the Wingham Optimist Tykes defeated Goderich 4-3 last Thursday night. Jonathan Lane opened the ,scoring during the first period with a goal assisted by Brett' Sangster and Bart Cameron. At 8:06 of the first, Shane Pegg scored unas- sisted from Wingham's blue - line giving Pegg the record for the longest goal. - During the second period, the only goal stored was by Jason Lasunesse for Goderich. Early in the third, Lane scored again assisted by Sangster and Cameron: Two minutes- later, Goderich came back with a goal by Drew McCauley.

BLUE LINES—The Blues seem to play their best hockey during tournaments. Thea Dundalk coach com- mented that Wingham has been. the only team to keep up with them, •skatingAnd checking excellently throughout the game. • Goalie -Esther Nethery shone throughout the tournament, no doubt the star of the team. She played with sonfidence and fended off opposition scoring at- tempts. • Eileen O'Donoghue. and Maureen Beattie on forward lines are improving.steadily and played great hockey Over the weekend, checking and skating ketter than ever. Nancy Bi man, Lynne Haines, Kathleen . O'Dona- ghue and Ruth Nethery stood steady on the blueline, halting many opposition at tacks. All the Wingham players deserve recognition for their play in this tournament. Everyone has improved over the year and it is • good ex- perience playing new teams in tournament action. The Blues now are waiting for playoff action to begin and also preparing for the Dundalk Tournament Feb. 24-26. Lane assisted by, Cameron, slipped one into the Goderich net giving him a hat trick. In the final seconds of the game, Goderich's Lasunesse scored again to make the final count Wingham, 4, and Goderich, 3. Wingham forwards Mat- thew Hunter, Ryan Leibold and Eric Deyell played a steady game, digging in to keep the puck in the God- erich end. Goderich was eager to win ' but great de- fence by Todd , Harrison, Sangster, Jeremy Brown and Jonathon Balzer held them back and Mptthew Elmslie's superb' goaltend- ing frustrated the Goderich sharp -shooters time and time again.

ICE CHIPS—The Wing - ham attack looked a . little rusty in this game, as they squandered many good scor- ing opportunities. Brussels seemed really "up" for the game and deserved to win. Jeff Blomberg let loose some blasts from the blue - line and was rewarded with a pair of goals. g , Snodgrass picked up the puck and skated down the left side to drill a shot past Rob Schistad.
