""'"'"Monsanto xTR Said Ryan half jokingly. But as the club improved, more and better players became interested. Last year 20 tried out and the team finished in first place in the Western Conference of the L & D Second Division with a 14-2-2, won-lost-tied record. St.qolum- ban, along with Woodstock, the Eastern Conference champs, won promotion to the First Division. This year Ryan reports that 25 players are working out for 14-15 positions and expects to have "four or five" new faces on this year's squad. • Another- change was the play- ing site, much to the consterna- tion of ;some St. Columban-area followers. The team is now playipg all of its home games at Seaforth' District High School but Ryan wasn't about to change the name. "I might get shot when I went up there," said Ryan and the London eectrician didn't sound half-Joking this time. Most of last year's team had hometowns' of Seaforth, Dublin or St. Columban, which Ryan des- cribes as "a church, a store and fF three houses." The club played a strong de- fensive game, allowing dnly 20 goals in 18 league games and it was headed by goaltender Paul . O'Reilly, who stopped 11 of 16 penalty shots-with one going over the crossbar and the other four in the net. There were four brother com- binatioss on the team including fullbacks Tom and Brian Melady and halfbacks Ron and Murray McClure_plas forwards George and Tom Love.-Ryanlat-brother Gerry was also on the forward line. The other players, who were With the club the major part of the season were Paul Malone, centre half and captain; halfbacks Ken Coyne' and Gord Moylan, and for- wards Ken Flanagan., Bob Young and Dave Mclnally. The team will help kick off 41 the regular L & D play May 8 at Seaforth against London Ger- man Canadians in a 4 p.m. con- test." St. Columban doesn't have a club nickname like most sports teams but with"names like Ryiln, O'Reilly or Flanagan in the line- up one might think something like the Irish might be suitable. "We never .wanted to start that," said Ryan, referring to a habit - sometimes thought of as a bad one in• some soccer circles - of adopting a European namefor your club.

(BY Bruce Meckbach in the London Free Press). St. Columban is one of those spots on a roadmap which you can only find if you Itilow exactly were t o look for it. Located four miles southeast of Seaforth on No. 8 highway, the name is easily recognized by players and followers of the London and District Soccer Association. St. Columban is starting its fifth season in the L & D and this year moves up to First Division competition, quite a feat for a centre its, size. But even more unique, as far as soccer is concerned, the team is made up entirely of Canadian- born -players. St. Columban is the only club in the province with this distinc- tion and probably one of the few- teams in the dountry which can boast such a statistic. But the community comes by it honestly. The fathers of many of today's players were on St. Columban teams in the 1920s and '30s which gave the centre quite a name for soccer in that era: Harry Ryan of London, coach, manager and secretary of the team and a native of near-by Dublin, says that he can remem- ber starting to play soccer in grade one . So he and most of the other budding athletes in the „. . area grew up with a background in the sport. The team played in the Huron Association until five Years ago and many things have changed since entering the L &x D, es- ---pecially the calibre of play.
