Wroxeter, Walton, Brussels, the
Goderich Gators and the Belmore Jr.

Lucan pigeons show great times
LUCAN — How do rac-
ing pigeons find their way
back home?
I'm glad you asked me.
I've been racing pigeons
for 55 years and I still
don't really know.
Many theories have
been offered, but none
proven.
A certainty is that the
owner must know how to
get his birds into shape.
The old saying that
birds of a feather flock
together was recently dis-
proved by a flock of 146
racing pigeons released
at Belleville, Ont.
Liberated at 8:45 a.m.,
the first bird homed at
downtown Walton at 1:23
p.m.; in Mitchell at 1:20
p.m. In Arkona the first
one was clocked at 2:12
p.m.
When the respective
distances those pigeons
had to fly were divided by
the time taken, an inter-
esting result emerged.
The Walton pigeon,
flown by Paul Finch, was
the winner with a velocity
of 1,148 meters per
minute.

Right on its tail were Exeter's L. de Haan
interrupted things by
winning positions nine,
10 and 12.
Marion Roden and
Brendan Cunningham, as
well as Norm Hardy, also
clocked some good
pigeons.

were birds from the
McFadden and Finch
lofts. (article submitted
by L. de Haan)
two pigeons clocked by
Mitchell's Walter
McFadden, they posted
speeds of 1,147 and
1,146 metres per minute.
Andrew Veens, the
curly -headed kid from
Arkona, had a pigeon
that must have flown a
straight line for home.
Even though it had to
fly 56 kilometres farther
than the Finch birds, it
averaged a speed of
1,144 meters per minute.
Sometimes birds of a
feather go their own way.
It is said that the good
ones always do.
As usual the Veens clan
dominated the top half of
the leaderboard.
Respectable perfor-
mances were turned in
by pigeons owned by
Lucan's Brendan
Cunningham and Cedar
Loft entries from Forest,
Ont.
On the same day a
shorter race was flown
from Brampton, Ont.
The first eight positions
were claimed by the
Veens clan.

3-2 loss to America for Fury
EXETER — Coming off a
difficult loss two weeks
ago, the Exeter Fury
played one of their best
games Sunday in a 3-2 loss
to the second place
America team.
The Fury battled hard
throughout the contest but
came up a goal short of
earning a valuable point.
The match at
the Community
Park in Exeter
started poorly for
the home team
when a penalty
shot was awarded
to America in the
opening minutes.
The ensuing
goal put the Fury
down in a hurry
but Exeter
rebounded to cre-
ate its own scoring oppor-
tunities afterward.
Marty DeBruyn narrowly
missed tying the game
when his shot hit the far
post.
Brian Brand notched the
equalizer on a great feed
from Ryan Carroll.
Carroll sent the ball over
to Brand who managed to
place his shot just inside
the far post to make the
score 1-1 at halftime.
The Fury continued to
play aggressively in the
second half led by Craig
Hern who played an excel-
lent game on defence for
the home squad.
Hern provided outstand-
ing defensive coverage and
intensity as did his fellow
defenders all evening.
Exeter fell behind 2-1, as
a slick ball slipped through
the hands of keeper
Nathan Holmes and into
the net.
Exeter fought to get that
goal back for Holmes who
had already made several
excellent saves to keep his
team close enough to try
for the victory.
The Fury players thought
they had scored shortly
after but the play was
whistled offside.
America also had a goal
called back due to offside
in the second half.
The score stayed
2-1 for awhile until
America took a
shot that skipped
off the leg of
defender Shawn
McFalls.
The ball looped
up and over
Holmes who was
originally in posi-
tion to make the
save.
The 3-1 deficit
appeared to seal Exeter's
fate but on this night the
Fury refused to quit.
Pete Fragiskatos sent a
great pass to DeBruyn,
who turned his defender
inside out and beat the

Brand
keeper to give Exeter a
chance at a tie with 10
minutes left.
The Fury gave a final
push to score but were
unable to find the back of
the net before the final
whistle.
"This game we came to
play for 90 minutes but we
could have used an effort
like this on many occa-
sions this season," said
Exeter spokesman Jason
McFalls.
"I'm proud of the way
the guys played against a
tough opponent," McFalls
added.
The loss leaves Exeter in
a position at the bottom of
the standings with two
games remaining.
The Fury need at least
one win to avoid being rel-
egated back down to Third
Division for next season.
Exeter is in St. Thomas
Saturday and then back
home against Woodstock
the following week.
