Seaforth players had seven hits, made two errors and left five men on base. Hi!ting were Feeney (3), Boon (2), Matetich (1) and Don Tunney (1). London had five hits, made one error and left six men on base. "These were two pretty good ball games for us, but with a little more effort I think we could have won both of them," said coach Robinet. "We had great pitching and it was a shame to waste an outing like this. We made three crucial errors which cost us the first game, and there was no excuse for any of them. It was nice, though, to win the second game, and hopefully that has started the ball rolling in the right direction." Seaforth played Exeter last night but results were unknown at press time. The Merchants travel to Strathroy tonight and are back home Tuesday to play Kincardine. Game time is 6:30 p.m. at Merchant Field. Atom I's taste gold in Exeter tournament On July 21, the St.Columban Atom I soccer team travelled to Exeter for the annual Atom Tour- nament. Their first game was against Kensall Park from London. Kensall Park scored first, but the players come right back and Chris Verberne made things even with a nice goal. The game was very even, with lots of action on both sides of the field and some beautiful saves from both goalies. Kensall Park again went up by one but St.Columban didn't give up and hard work paid off with Scott Schoonderwoerd scoring. The defence of Scott Van Dooren, Daryl Schoonderwoerd and Kyle Ben- newies played excellent soccer and the game ended in a 2 - 2 tie. 'They then played two five-minute halves with neither team scoring. It was down to penalty shots, five on five. Scott Schoonderwoerd and Chris Verbeme were successful with their shots, with Kensall Park also scoring twice. Then it was sudden death penalty shots. St. Columban had first shot, with goalie Mau Cronin taking the shot and just missing the corner. Mau then went back in goal and it was Kensall Park's turn. They let their goalie shoot and Matt made an excellent attempt, getting a piece of the ball, but it was hard enough to just get past him. Kensall Park won, but this was definitely St. Columban's best game of the year. Everyone hustled for the enure game with special men- tion going to Scott Van Dooren, who seemed to be everywhere on the field, and goalie Matt Cronin with his excellent saves. After this heartbreaking loss, St.Columban's next opponent was Taxandria. The team was still a little "down" from the emotional loss and it took them a while to get their legs back. Again, there was a lot of back -and -forth action but St. Columban struck first with a goal by Scott Schoonderwoerd.

St. Columban laid back a little and Taxandria came back with two goals of their own. The locals didn't want to see overtime again, and Chris Verberne made sure that didn't happen with a nice goal. The rest of the game was played very well defensively and ended in a 3-2 victory for St.Columban, advancing them to the B final. The final game was against Exeter I, and the team was really keen. Scott Schoonderwoerd scored early to put St. Columban up 1 - 0. Exeter came back before the end of the first half with a goal, and at half time - with the score tied 1-1 - - it was time fora little pep talk from the coaches. It must have worked because St. Columban came out fired up.

St. Columban soccer men 'sting' Wallaceburg 2-1 This past Saturday, the St. Colum - ban Men's Soccer Team travelled south to Wallaceburg to play a match against the first -place "Sting". Wallaceburg failed to live up to their nickname as the Fighting Irish from St. Columban nipped the Sting 2 to 1 The match could have gone either way, as both teams played extremely well. The difference was that St. Columban was able to finish their scoring opportunities, while Wallaceburg could not. Wal- laceburg's fancy behind -the -back passes and World Cup style plays meant absolutely nothing as St.Columban just used the basics of the game to secure the victory. St. Columban opened the scoring early in the first half, when Socrates Liabotis drilled a rebound from the crossbar into the lower comer of the net. This goal made St. Columban realize that they could play with this team and win. The local lads' spirits were dam- pened when, with five minutes to go in the first half, a disputed foul was committed by Si Columban fullback Jason Schoonderwoerd. The penalty kick that followed was well placed and evaded the hands of Si Columban goal keeper Jason Dieu. This goal sent the game into the second half with the teams tied at one apiece. The pace continued in the second half as both teams had chances to pull in front. With 10 minutes to play in the match, St. Columban was awarded a corner kick. Steve Ryan took the corner, but instead of making a long cross, he made a short pass to Mike Schoonderwoerd who chipped the ball beautifully in front of the net to Rem Murray, who in turn headed it into the Wal- laceburg net. in the late stages of the game Wallaceburg had numerous chances but again failed to finish as St. Columban went on to victory. The victory handed Wallaceburg their second defeat and pulled St. Columban to within one point of the first -place Wallaceburg team. St. Columban now sits with a neat seven win, three loss record. After this win, the team's best effort of the year, St. Columban looks strong and ready for the playoffs which are just four games away. This win was even more uplifting as the team came back from last week's disap- pointing loss to the last place 1,on don Spurs. St. Columban's next game is at home to Chatham City this coming Sunday at 6:00 p.m. Cone on out and cheer the local lads on to vic- y.
