The game was close until . the third period when Wingham came on strong and scored two quick goals in the first 48 seconds of the period. That was the turning point and Wingham con- tinued to dominate the play and skated to an easy vic- tory. Gordon had a big night, scoring four goals, while Jenkins, Robinson, Cameron and Walton each picked up singles. Assists went to Jenkins with four, Robinson, three, and Cameron, Andrew Kaufman, Brett MacDonald and Jamie Wall with one each. Coaches Paul Steep and Scott Davidson are very pleased with the aggressive play of the ' forward squad which consists of Jenkins, Gordon, Robinson, Cameron, Kaufman, MacDonald, Steve Skinn and 'Greg Moore, as well as the steady defensive players Wall, Walton, Mont- gomery and Adams. The team is backed up by the -strong;onsistent gealken ing of Todd Stainton and Murray Skinn. The team now advances to the OMHA semi-finals against Parkhill. The boys appreciate the handful of supporters who have followed them all season, but would appreciate more fan support during the OMHA playoffs. • lie was assisted .by Ken Hogg and Jeremy Brown. Jonathon Balzeer, Andrew F4lrrest and Todd Harrison each played a very strong game in which they sup- ported their teammates by protecting the Wingham zone and by feeding the puck forward. Matthew Ehnslie . and Jason Moody, Wing - ham's netminders, continue to play aggressively in goal and challenge all shooters. Last Wednesday, the Optimist Tykes defeated Wallace 5-3 in what proved to be a hotly -contested match. In the first period, both teams played furiously. The close checking prevented either side from gaining an advantage until late in the period when Henry Acres drove the puck into Wingham's net for the only goal of the first, assisted by Long. Hunter opened the scoring for Wingham 10 seconds into the second period, by scoring on sizzling shot. Cameron earned, the assist. Todd Norman replied for Wallace, assisted by Acres.

Rebekah's shoot party to whisper, "Boy, these teams are so closely mat- ched that this could ' be another long overtime game," but such wasp not' in the cards. At 6:01 Durham's Terry Whiteside broke in from the left side and followed his shot to the net. As the puck rebounded a foot off Ron Smith's goal stick, Whiteside banged it home to send Durham ahead 3-2. The Royals kept pressing with near miss after near miss, just lacking the luck to cash in on their close chances. With just less than a minute to go in the game,' the Royals pulled their netminder for the extra attacker. Could they tie it up for another overtime game? Such was not to be as Randy Reay snatched a loose puck and made no mistake in depositing it into the centre of the unguarded Royal net to give Durham a 4-2 win. WHISTLE STOPS — The Royals certainly were not sharp in this one and Durham was full value for the win. Wingham was handed a golden opportunity to salt it away in the first period when Durham picked up a pair of penalties and was forced to play three men to five for a full minute.

Midgets Durham The Durham Midgets defeated the Wingham Lions Midgets two games straight to elirniniate the locals from the WOAA playoffs. The opening game of the series was played in the Wingham arena and it looked like the hometown lads might run away with the game. The match was tied 1- ' l at the end of one period on a goal by Paul Tolton and Wingham had built a 3-2 lead by the end of the second on goals by Paul . Robinson and Jeff Bloemberg.

Then the wheels fell off. Durham scored three unanswered goals in regulation time to tie the score and fired two more in the overtime period to take the opening game of the series 7-5. The second game of the series was played last Saturday in Durham. In that match, Durham seemed. determined to win and was leading 4-0 at the end of the first. Goals by Jason Goodall and Ed Sweeney drew Wingham within two, but Durham then scored five in a row to build a 9-2 lead in the final frame. Wingham finally came to life with three goals of their own, all by McFarlan, but it wasn't nearly enough as Durham added one more to trounce Wingham by a 10-5 score and win the WOAA semi-final series two games to none. • ICE CHIPS — What start- ed out looking like a very promising year for the Wingham Lions Midgets has almost come to an end with only the Wingham Midget Hockey Tournament left to be played. If they play up to their potential, there's no reason they can't win the C division for the second year in a row. Optimist Atoms edged from Brussels tourney The Wingham Optimist Atoms traveled to Brussels last Saturday to take part in its annual tournament. Although the local lads lost both their games, all agreed they had played against two strong teams. Wingham met Mount Forest in their first game last Saturday. The -Match featured exciting end-to-end action and Wingham had several excellent scoring opportunities, but couldn't get past a strong Mount Forest goaltender. Dave McKee scored Wingham's only goal, assisted by Rob. McKay. The final score read Mount Forest, two, and Wingham, one. In Wingham's second match, the boys met a good - skating, aggressive New Hamburg club. This was a well -played game by both teams and featured the first Royals' frustration. Durham Coach Don Gray stole a successful page from Bill Kerr's strategy as he - dressed two Midgets for the game, and it was hard- working, strong -skating Midget Terry Whiteside who came through with flying colors with the winning goal on a very fine effort. It was a good, close game and this series looks like it will have lots more ex- citement as these two teams struggle for the WOAA Intermediate A 'cham- pionship. The scheduled fourth game of the series last Sunday at Durham was cancelled due to weather conditions and will instead be played at Durham this Thursday night at eight. The fifth game is set for Wi gham Sunday night at nine following thiiast game in the first weekend of the Midget tournament. overtime mate", of the tournament. New Hamburg took the lead in the second period on a goal by McKay, with assists going to Anesh Bodasing and McKee, thus setting the stage for sudden -death overtime. Wingham carried the play in the five-minute overtime period. However, with a minute remaining, New Hamburg was able to slip behind the Wingham defence and score on a sharp angle shot. The Wingham team and its coaches congratulate the organizers of the tournanht on having a very well-run event and one in which the local boys were certainly glad to participate. The Atoms next game°,is Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in Seaforth for the third and deciding game of their playoff series. I!11ED.
