In the girl's divi- sion, Ashley Denomme led the way with a score of 96 under chal- lenging course conditions. Denomme was followed closely by Tristen Caldwell with a 104 and Alana Hodgert also scored well to finish in third position. In the boy's divi- sion, Scott Muirhead had an injury so he received an exemption for his exemplary golf in recent years. On the course, David Muller led all scorers with an Ashley Denomme impressive round of 75 while Justin Anstett and Scott McGregor finished tied for third after firing rounds of 81. Garrett Alexander finished one stroke off the pace with an 82 and led all junior age golfers. This past Tuesday, both golf teams went to Goderich for the Huron -Perth tour- nament. The girl's squad played slightly below their capa- bilities; however, they still scored well enough to continue on to the next round and the WOSSAA finals. Denomme once again fired the low round for the ladies. The boys, led by Muirhead with a 79, played well under windy course conditions to finish in a tie for fifth place among 11 teams. This finish enabled them also to advance to the next round which will determine the WOSSAA champi- onship on the demanding St. Thomas Golf and Country Club. Golf coach Jeff O'Brien said all golfers this year exhibited true Dave Muller sportsmanship and have shown great composure. O'Brien added special thanks go out to Michelle Hodgert and Gib Dow at Ironwood for their help dur- ing the qualifying round Ironwood. Their assistance and generosity is appreciated. at Rookies at OBA championship EXETER — The Exeter Junior Rookie Jays com- pleted their season recently by participating in the OBA championships at Kingsville.

Fury win 2-0 EXETER — The Exeter Fury defeated Delhi 2-0 Sunday at home in a battle to stay out of the basement of the second division. The game was played in adverse weather con- ditions and in front of a sparse crowd but both teams still had some good offensive chances throughout. Exeter had the strong wind advantage in the first half but failed to capitalize resulting in a scoreless first stanza. The best scoring chance for the Fury occurred when Ryan Carroll crossed a long free kick to the far post where Darren Marziali headed the ball off the cross bar. Delhi was robbed on a shot from in close that was batted away to keep the teams tied. The visitors came out strong in the second half and tried to take advan- tage of the wind by fir- ing some long shots that just missed the net. Most of the action seemed to be in the Fury end but once in awhile Exeter managed to move up the field by using short passes on the ground. About 20 minutes into the second frame Ryan Carroll was able to grab a loose ball and fire a low shot past the keeper to give the Fury a 1-0 lead. Delhi had a chance to tie the game on a break- away but the striker pushed the ball too far ahead and the ball was cleared away to pre- serve the shutout. Carroll notched his second goal of the game by pushing the ball over the line after Pete McAllister's header landed at Carroll's feet. The 2-0 win keeps Delhi in the bottom of the division. With two games remaining the Fury still have a chance to move up in the standings with a game Tuesday night against London City who are five points ahead. Exeter finishes the season Sunday night in London against Marconi in a game rescheduled from last week. "We battled hard out there today and we aren't ruling out catch- ing City either," team spokesperson Jason McFalls said.
