The Huron Expositor, 1989-05-17, Page 448A — THE HURON EXPOSITOR, MAY 31, 1989 THIS WEEK IN Seaforth will host provincials in 1990 Seaforth will host the provincial broom - ball championships in the 1989-90 season. "We took Seaforth because it is a hub of broomball. It has good support, lots of teams, and good facilities," said Janet Buchanan, convener for the Central West broomball region. Opening ceremonies for the provincials will take place Friday night March 16, 1990, and the tournament will run over the 16th, 17th and 18th in both the Seaforth and Clin- ton arenas. Seaforth will be the main arena. The tournament is for the Intermediate and Elite categories, for both mens and ladies teams. Of the seven broomball regions, each region may send one team for each category to the provincials (four teams from each region) , but the hosting region is allowed to send two teams for each category. This means 32 teams will be com- ing to Seaforth to take part In the tournament. "I imagine there'll be Seaforth teams in the provincials, and for sure there'll be Seaforth players," said Mrs. Buchanan, ad- ding that Seaforth being awarded the pro- vincials will have a big effect on broomball in this region. "You know the players who are talking about retiring, well they aren't going to be retiring," she predicts. "And the kids in the minor program will be able to see that broomball is a good sport and you have to be good to play it." "It's got to help. It's something everyone wants to see. Ontario broomball teams are the best in the country, and if you had to choose you'd watch the Ontario provincials before the Canadians. It's the best broom - ball you can see." Approximately 175 rooms are needed to accommodate all the players, officials and executives who will be coming to this region for the provincials, and for obvious reasons, these have been booked in Stratford. But Mrs. Buchanan says all the players and fans who will come to Seaforth and Clinton will mean a lot to this area financially. "It's going to do wonders for our region and it's going to be great for Seaforth." Merchants undefeated as yet in men's ball The Seaforth Merchants Senior Mens Baseball team won again last week, this time recording a 12-4 thumping of Walkerton. Despite the win, however, Merchant Coach Marc Robinet said the game was not a good one. It's always nice to win, but I'd like to see us hit the ball a little better," he said. "We scored a lot of runs on errors and they (Walkerton) are not going to make those errors next time around. We're going to have to earn the runs, and I'd like to see us swing the bat a little better." Robinet noted that as in previous games the Merchant defence and pitching were both good, and added he was confident the hitting will come along. Seaforth was first on the scoreboard in this game,. with one run in the first period. Walkerton tied the score in the second. then took a 3-1 lead in the third before the Mer- Wright, Gerard Ryan, Bill Dale, Don Tun - chants erupted for seven runs in their half of ney, Ray Anstett and Dave Garrick each the inning, and headed into the fourth with recorded one. an 8-3 lead.

Bill Dale started on the mound for the Merchants and got his first win of the season. He pitched four innings and during that time gave up three runs on four hits, walked four batters and hit one batter. Reliever Darren Crocker went two innings, allowed one run on one hit, walked three b�at- ters, struck out two batters, threw three wild pitches and hit one batter. Aside from his performance on the On Friday the Merchants travel to London mound, Crocker was also strong at the to play Lakeside, and on Sunday head to plate, recording three hits in this outing.

Strathroy scored its four runs on five hits, walked seven times, struck out twice, com- mitted seven errors and left nine men on base.

PULAR JEWELLERS MAIN .'T., SEAFORTH, ;52760270 Flay fAnstett, -Prgprletor COMPETITIVE SOCCER - From the expressions on the faces of this St. Columban soccer player and that of his pursuing opponent from the Dante Club in Sarnia, you'd guess they take their soccer pretty seriously. The St. Columban under 18 team, the same one that cleaned up the Lucan under 17 division last year, is in its first season in the Forest City International Youth Soccer League, and is looking forward to a season of highly competitive soccer. Corbett photo. ST. COLUMBAN forward Trevor Fortune puts pressure on a Dante Club player. The St. Columban team took a 4-1 lead in the first half of the game, but lost their home -opener to Dante in the second half. They now have one loss and a tie this season, and play their next game May 31 at 7 p.m. in St. Columban against the Portuguese United from London. Corbett photo. St. Colin l *an for s u er 18 soccer team St. Columban now has a soccer team ' entered in the under 18 division of the Forest City International Youth Soccer League based out of London. There are eight teams in this league, in- cluding five teams from London, two teams from Sarnia and the local St. Columban team. Organizer and coach of St. Columban commented he entered this team in this league to provide local soccer players with the opportunity to develop and improve their soccer skills by playing against strong competition. St. Columban played its first game of the season on May 17 in London against London Northers Spurs The Spurs started the garne very strong b St. Columban managed to hold them oft t',e score sheet. St. Columban was leading 1 to 0 at the end of the first half on an accurate long shot by midfielder Rem Murray. After the Spurs tied the score St. Colum - ban took the lead again on an aggressive goal by Brad Carter. St. Columban was a little unlucky as the referee called a very questionable penalty shot against them in the final minute of the game which the Spurs scored on to end the game in a 2 to 2 draw. St. Columban played its home opener on Wednesday, May 24 against Sarnia Dante. St. Columban played a very impressive first half and as a result ended the'first half of the game leading 4 to 2. Goals were scored by Rem Murray and Trevor Fortune on penalty shots. Steve Ryan and Terry Sloan scored the other two. The second hall was a totally different story as St. Columban fell apart and played terrible positional soccer. Sarnia Dante took full advantage of this and scored four unanswered goals to hand St. Columban its first loss 6 to 4. St. Columban's goalkeeper Jason Dietz played an excellent game by stopping many point blank shots from Sarnia. Coach Tony Arts commented that both games were very entertaining and com- petitive, and welcomes anyone to come out and watch and support the local team in the future. The next home game is Wednesday, May 31 in St. Columban at 7 p.m. against London Portuguese United. St. Columban entered an under 18 team in the competitive Forest City league in Lon- don, after its under 17 soccer team swept the Lucan League 14-0 last season.
