The Jets capped off their week with a 7-5 win Saturday night at home against their Highway 4 rivals the Hensall Sherwoods, who are 1-1 after their first week of reg- ular season action. After opening their season at home Oct. 7 with a big 10-8 win over the Milverton 4 Wheel Drives, Lucan Ilderton went on to beat the Tavistock Royals 5-2 on the road last Friday. In Saturday's Jets-Sherwoods game, the Jets took a 3-0 lead into the first intermission from goals by Jason Wilson, Andy Marshall and Brad Yeo. In the second Jason Davies and Shawn Fairweather added goals for the Jets, with Scott Davies and Jeremy Geoffrey scoring for the Sherwoods. Jason Davies and Fairweather both scored again for the Jets in the third, with goals from the Sherwoods by Chris Kennedy, Chris Downie and Jeremy Geoffrey. "It's been an adjustment to the rules," Andrews said, explaining the Jets' Friday night game against Tavistock was a penalty -filled affair. "This league is going to depend on your power plays and your penalty killing," he added. "It's going to be interesting." Andrews is pleased with his team's start. "We have a real good team this year." This week the Jets play at home Saturday at 8:30 p.m., hosting the Clinton Radars. The Sherwoods started their sea- son Oct. 7 with a big 10-2 road win over the Thedford Dirty Dogs. Their game last Friday was cancelled after the Listowel team folded. The Sherwoods host the Goderich Pirates in Zurich Friday night at 8:30 p.m., followed by a Saturday home game in Hensall versus Thedford at 7:30 p.m. Clutch save — Hensall Sherwoods goalie Cam Becker comes up big on a breakaway save against Tim Parsons of the Lucan Ilderton Jets Saturday night in Lucan.The Jets won 7-5.

The Panthers played Listowel in two games, earn- ing convincing victories in both cases. In the first game, the Panthers won 4-0, with Staci Miller opening the scor- ing from advance work by Kelly Cronyn and Carly Schroeder. Cronyn added the second goal, assisted by Schroeder and Abbey Oke. The score was 2-0 at the half. Four min- utes into the second, Lindsay Mills scored, assisted by Cronyn, and Mills added her second four minutes later, again assisted by Cronyn. In the second game, the Panthers continued their win- ning trend, with Mills opening the scoring after only three minutes after an excellent run by Oke. Halfway into the first half, Cronyn scored from an Oke penalty corner, assisted by Schroeder. Four minutes before the half, Kristin Ferguson scored from an Oke free hit. In the second half, Mills added her second from a Sandra Gregus pass. Oke scored the fifth goal on a goal mouth scramble. The final score was 5-0. In the final game, South Huron defeated Mitchell 1-0 in a one-sided game, despite the close score. Sandra Gregus scored a beautiful goal from a blazing Cronyn shot. The Panthers were sup- posed to play Northwestern on Thursday, but the field was covered with snow and the game had to be cancelled. A new date had not been set at press time. This week the team travels to Goderich for games against Goderich and St. Marys.
