It did not matter much, though, as the Royals seared 11 times to drub Durham 1 1-5 and claim a share of top spot Friday night. Royals torpedo Durham with 11-5victory Friday By Bill Johnston The Wingham Royals showed no mercy as they blasted Durham 72s 11-5 in a wide-open encounter at the Wingham arena last Friday night. Wingham struck early as Rick MacLennan threw the puck to the blueline and a bomb from the point ex- ploded into the bulging twine at 2:16. A mere 18 seconds later Randy Clarke, wrestling with a bouncing puck, literally shoveled a shot over the line for the Royals' second of the period. At 11:31 Jay MacLaurin's pass caught Jim McGee cutting across the slot and he, with evident ease, put one into the attic of the net. Durham got on the score - sheet with a goal by Jim Nixon at 17:58, but the Royals roared back with Dave Golley's goal at 19:08. As the teams headed into the dressing rooms after 20 minutes the Royals ap- peared to have the game well in hand with a 4-1 lead. Dave Stephenson ans the Royals had a 7-1 lead at the end of the second period. In the third it was wide- open, chippy a hockey, with penalties coming almost as fast as the goals as each team picked up four goals. For Durham, Randy Reay was wielding the hot stick, firing all four of the goals, while McGee had a pair for the Royals with Randy Clarke and Rick MacLennan picking up singles. At the final gong, the Royals had a convincing 11-5 victory. WHISTLE STOPS — This win put the Royals into a tie with Durham for top spot, with both teams having one game left in the schedule. Jim McGee certainly led the attack, with three goals and two assists for a big, five - point night. Durham's Randy Reay carried the bulk of the of- fence for Durham with four goals, all in the third period. With four regular blue - liners missing, Coach Bill Jeff Bloomberg suited up in the blueline brig*, and what a spectacular performance by this young player!

Teeswater jumped on the local team from the opening faceoff and never let up, scoring five goals before Wingham was able to get two back, near the end of the second period. Teeswater kept up the pressure in the third, scoring twice and kept Wingham off the scoresheet. These two teams each have won two games against each other this year and with the en- thusiasm shown by the Teeswater team, it was evident they did not want Wingham to gain the upper hand.
