(photos/submitted) New coach for Irish By Pat Bolen TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF LUCAN — The Lucan Irish didn't have to look far for a new coach this summer with the hiring of Russ Morningstar, who was the coach of the West Lorne Lakers last season before they folded recent- ly. Morningstar said he has a handle on the situation in Lucan and that the team is looking to bring back 10 or 11 players for next season. "I've got a pretty good grasp on which way we're going to go with the team and what we're looking for." Morningstar said he likes a defensive minded team and doesn't want to be playing 8-7 style games. "You'd rather keep them 4-2 or 5-3 type victories." Morningstar has experi- ence coaching several dif- ferent teams at different levels, including Port Stanley, Strathroy and West Lorne. While he said he wasn't sure what his plans were after West Lorne folded, Morningstar said after Lucan called and he met with the team manage- ment, "It was pretty much a sure thing after I met with them and saw what kind of individuals they are." Morningstar said the Irish are looking solid with the addition of Josh Suhanji, who was in West Lorne last year and has Junior B experience, while returning to the Lucan blueline are Alex Regan and Adam Hartman. "So we have three of the top defencemen in the league," said Morningstar. Behind the bench with Morningstar will be assis- tants' Joe Pearson, who was also with West Lorne last season and will look after the defence while Jason Smith will be the offensive assistant coach. "I'm still trying to get to know the players from last year and obviously recruit some new ones for this year," said Morningstar.

Crediton mercied the Oneida Dreamcatchers 12-0 and lost to Byron Int. by a score of 8-3. Crediton 12 versus Oneida Dreamcatchers 0 Crediton's bats were on fire against Oneida Dreamcatchers even fac- ing a very strong pitcher. The pitcher's changeup seemed to cause some batters problems but every Crediton player ended up with a base hit. Kathy Glen was superb at the plate going for the `cycle' pounding out a homerun, triple, double and a single. Kerri Fulton pounded out two long dou- bles along with a single hit and Kendra Craig went three for three at the plate with three singles. Kelli Fulton placed down a bunt and added a double while Mary Glen added a home run in the fifth inning to clear the bases. Ange Gould pounded out a double in the sev- enth along with singles from Nikki Cyr, Marianne Scott and Carrie Dixon. Dixon pitched strongly Kath y Glen for Crediton notching three strikeouts with relief from Scott. Crediton 3 versus Byron 8 It was a fast -paced game against the strong Byron Int. team recently. Crediton stayed tied with its opponents until the fifth inning when Byron inched ahead two runs but closed the door in the sixth with four more. The Cubs replied in the sixth with a run but a three -up, three -down sev- enth inning meant the loss for the local squad. Only four Crediton batters successfully hit to reach base. Kathy Glen pounded out two doubles and a single, Ange Gould a triple and double, Marianne Scott a double and single and Kelli Fulton a double and a perfect bunt. Scott pitched for Crediton with relief from Glen. Strong fielding by Gould, Glen and Natalie Laporte helped keep Byron's run- ners honest. Plays by short stop Kerri Fulton and third base Kelli Fulton also notched a lot of outs for the Cubs. Ange Gould
