After a slow start Saturday morning, when they were beat easily 24- 10 by Goderich, they rebounded to play three solid games. With only nine players, they won game two 22-8 over St. Marys and fol- lowed that up with a well fought victory over Goderich 16-9. The win over Goderich qualified Exeter for the O.B.A. tournament in Kingsville. Following the almost consecutive games against St. Marys & Goderich, Exeter then played a well -rested Listowel team for the W.O.B.A. finals. After three close innings, fatigue and a strong Listowel team proved to be too much for Exeter and they were beat 21-10 after five innings. Many thanks from the coaching staff to the par- ents brought their kids to Mitchell. The team played their hearts out and will be rewarded in Kingsville. The coaches and par- ents are very proud.

Both teams started out strong, although chances were limited in the first few minutes of play. Curinga got on the scoresheet first. A ball crossed from the right side found the foot of the Curinga striker, who promptly deposited it in the lower right cor- ner, out of the reach of makeshift keeper, Andrew Prout. Prout was forced into action when starting keeper Nate Holmes could not dress due to an injury. Exeter tied the game before the half was done, when Tom Phouttharath finished off a pass from Matt Strano. The Fury controlled much of the play in the second half. Exeter made it a 2-1 game when they were awarded a penalty shot. Andrew Prout made no mistake as he rifled a shot to the lower left corner of the net. Prout had no time to rest as shortly there- after, Curinga was awarded a penalty shot. Prout guessed correct- ly and made the save before the defenders cleared the ball out of play. Exeter put the game out of reach on a nifty free kick. Pete Fragiskatos was given the ball by Ryan Carroll. Fragiskatos then crossed the ball into the six-yard box where the Curinga keeper couldn't pick it up. Matt Prout swept in from the top of the 18 - yard box and buried the shot. "We played a well bal- anced game," according to team spokesman Shawn McFalls. "We had our heads in the game and didn't get caught up in the trash talking that Curinga dished out." "We are all looking forward to the second cup final in team histo- ry" Exeter last played in the cup final (Third Division) in 2001 when they beat Ingersoll. They will play London Portuguese on a date to be announced. The Fury continued their solid play from their Cup win by defeat- ing St. Thomas at home Sunday night. The Fury controlled play in the offensive end early in the contest and had several good oppor- tunities to score, but failed to capitalize. The Fury worked the ball from one side of the field to the other and were able to create openings in the early minutes. St. Thomas managed to get one chance and they made no mistake by chipping the ball over Fury keeper Prout. Exeter struggled to regain its confidence after the goal and trailed 1-0 at the half. Joe Forrester suffered a cut to the head in the first half when he collid- ed with a St. Thomas player on an aggressive play. Forrester returned in the second half only to have the wound open up again. The second half saw Exeter continue its lethargic play until Phouttharath fired a EXETER HAWKS ROOKIE CAMP Aug. 27 & 28 Spots still available.

The near goal seemed to spark the team and a few minutes later Phouttharath connected with a header off a cor- ner kick by Carroll. The rejuvenated Exeter squad kept attacking and made something happen when Phouttharath fired a long ball towards the net. Pete McAllister beat the charging keeper to the ball and headed it over him into the net for a 2-1 Fury lead. The goal was the 50th career goal for the sec- ond leading scorer in club history, The Fury began to sit back late in the contest and St. Thomas came close to tying the game. A blistering shot from the right side banged off the post and came directly back out where it was cleared by the Fury defence. Exeter's defence was solid except for the early breakdown and kept the strikers outside the box and relied on Prout to make the saves on long shots. The win gives Exeter a record of 3-4-2, good for fourth place in second Division. "The team played very well tonight and were the better squad for most of the game," Jason McFalls said. "We have a big game against the first place London Portuguese Sunday and it will be a good preview of the Cup Final later on in the sea- son," he added. The Fury are in London Sunday at 6 p.m. South Huron Minor Hockey REGISTRATION SAT. AUG. 13 - 9 - 11 A.M.
