St. Columban soccer teams winners St. Columban soccer teams took home four out of five "A" playoff championship trophies the Lucan and District soccer league had to offer in tournaments played the past two weekends. The Squirts, Atoms, Mosq. II and the "under 17" team all won their perspective divisions. SQUIRTS The St. Columban squirts took their two year undefeated record into the Lucan and District Soccer League playoff tournament held in Bryanston September 10 and came away with the squirt "A" championship trophy for the second straight year. The squirts received a "Bye" in the first round of play and in the second round met coldstream who had upset second place Lucan II in the first round of the tourna- ment. The St. Columban team played hard and won this game 3-0. Goalscorers for St. Columban were J.D. Nolan with two goals and Larry Kelly with 1. This win put St. Columban into the final against Grand Bend. The game against Grand Bend gave coach Dan Nolan some anxious moments as his squirt team was having trouble getting plays started. Fullbacks Ben Murray and Chris Verberne, along with goalie Mike Murray, continued to prove their worth to this team as they foiled numerous attempts by the Grand Bend team to upset the league leaders. St. Columban's first goal of the game came off the foot of Ryan Van Dooren, who picked a dandy time to score his first goal of the season. That goal seem to pick up the squirt team and, not to be outdone by his brother, Scott Van Dooren scored once while Larry Kelly scored twice. This is the way the game ended - 9-0 in favor of the St. Col- umban Squirts. Congratulations to coaches Dan Nolan and Casey Van Bakel for giving the Squirt players an enjoyable summer of soccer.

BARRELING DOWN THE LINE - This area fastball player barrels down first base line in an effort to get to base before the ball does. The area men's fastball league formed two All Star teams that played off against one another on Sunday. The North defeated the South 2-1. Mcllwraith photo. THE NORTH MET SOUTH in this All Star fastball game played at Lions Park on Sun- day. Here, a Northern player gets caught in a run down between first and second base, and judging from the grimace on his face, he isn't enjoying the experience. The South won this play, but they lost the contest by a 2-1 margin. Mcllwraith photo. ATOMS The St. Columban Atoms captured the Lucan and District Soccer League Cham- pionship trophy for the second straight year at the playoff tournament held in St. Colum - ban on Saturday, September 17.

I team played the first game against a tough team from Ex - Three bowlers score 300+ The Seaforth Bowling Association would like to declare a resounding "Welcome Back", to all those skittlers who began their new bowling season this week - Egmondville, St. James, Mixed Doubles and the Thursday Nighters. It is hard to believe that four months have passed since most last blasted the pins on favorite alleys. After such a long hiatus from the lanes one expects a few gutter balls from those who are a little rusty, some great hits from those who are up to their last season's standards, but three 300 plus games on the first night hack was not even considered, George Love bowled an outstanding 769 triple, including a 313 single. Murray Ben- newies was close behind him with a devastating 739 triple and 318 single. Reg Dick gets the honors this week in the men's singles category with his awesome 319 single that rounded out a 729 triple. That is one of the best ways I know to get your season off to a sizzling start. For the women, Carol Bennewies registered a 258 single and an unbelievable 653 triple. In the great moments of the week category, Pat (Leftie) Ryan bounced back from a slow start on Monday to record his first 200 plus game of the season, and two new bowlers, Debbie Hoekstra and Karen Piett were impressed as much by the fun they were having as they were by wat- ching their steadily increasing scores for the night. Because this is the first week of bowling, and for many leagues only a practice night, the data is a little sketchy but it is hoped the situation is remedied shortly. If you or anyone on your team has a great moment - such as a personal high single, triple - 50 or a more points above their previous best - please circle it and jot a note down on the score sheet and we will try to give you the recognition you deserve (Remembering of course that we do not have the use of the entire newspaper to do so). Next week the remainder of the leagues should be starting their seasons, and with three 300 plus game already recorded this could turn out to be a fantastic season for everyone. - St. James bowling league begins The St. James Bowling League began the The Orioles edged the Hawks 4-3 with 1988-89 season at Starlight Lanes on Mon- Jack Ryan 194-566 and Gerry Armstrong day, September 12. 224-507, the high bowlers.
