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

Optimist Atoms
down Brussels
The local Optimist Atoms
traveled to Brussels last
Friday evening for a league
game and returned with a
convincing 6-1 victory.
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: -

Penalty calls mar contest
Ironmefl are unimpressive
in 74 win at Walkerton
By Peter Bauer
The Wingham Ironmen
Were anything but im-
pressive Friday night in.a 7-4
win over Walkerton. 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.

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

by Optimist Tykes

petition,

night.

,scoring during the first
period with a goal assisted

Shane Pegg scored unas-
sisted from Wingham's blue -
line giving Pegg the record

Early in the third, Lane
scored again assisted by
Sangster and Cameron: Two
minutes- later, Goderich
came back with a goal by
Drew McCauley. At 10:32
never gave up, but just could
not seem to find the net
again. Saltfleet 'and
Wingham '"gave the fans
some exciting action for a
semi-final game.
BLUE LINES—The Blues

hockey during tournaments.

mented that Wingham has
