BY NORAH EC!KERT My dream was to be able to play in the Provincials and hopefully someday receive a medal. I have played in the Provincials in 1985 and 1986 as a pick up for the Farmerettes Ladies and it was an honor to play, but it was also a little disappointing nnce again to come home without a medal. "Wow"! Another opportunity arose for Norah Eckert as she was asked once again at the Regionals in Palmerston if she would be interested in playing for the Competition Cougars at the 1990 Provin- cials in Seaforth. I was so thrilled once again, I said 1 would love to. We won our first two games which was so unbelievable, and it put us right into being a bronze medal winner. I just couldn't believe it, my heart was pounding to think my dream had come true. In our third game we met the reigning 7" JOHN DEERE SWEEPS Manufactured by John Deere to fit 1000 & 1010 Series Cultivators ONLY champs and lost which dropped us into the bottom round. We then turned around and won our next game to put us into the silver and gold medal challenge round. By this time my heart was beating so fast of excitement to think we had come this far. However we had to beat this team twice to receive the gold, but we just didn't have the calibre and were defeated by "Alfred Sports" the reigning champs once again. They have been undefeated for a number Novice 2 ringette •i wi of years. But I'm still on cloud nine with my silver medal. It just doesn't seem possible it could happen so quick. These memories I will always cherish along with my Silver Medal, so please never, never give up hope of someday that you also will achieve the excitement and thrill of being a medal winner. To those who just have the oppor- tunity of being able to play in the Provin- cials "Good Luck To Everyone". Norah Eckert tea keeps skills sharp The Seaforth Novice 2 Ringette team has played several exhibition games in recent weeks in an effort to keep its playing skills sharp while awaiting the Regional Play- offs in London on April 6 and 7.
