In the opening tilt at Huron Park, Sunday, St. Marys scored in the middle frame and then held on to post a 1-0 win. Exeter missed several opportunities to score the equalizer in the hard- hitting contest, while St. Marys also had chances to get a clincher and missed.

Midgets advance The Exeter Kinsmen midgets came up with three well-balanced efforts to send St. Marys to the sidelines in straight games in the first round of the OMHA playoffs. The powerful local crew opened the series with a 6-2 win in Huron Park and then beat St. Marys on their home ice at Embro on Saturday and Monday by scores of 3-1 and 8-0. In all three contests, Exeter outplayed their opponents on both offence and defence and Roger O'Brien was equal to the task on most occasions when St. Marys did get scoring opportunities. In the opener, Exeter gave some early indication of their strength when they scored their first two tallies while playing short-handed. Paul Pooley notched the first on a pass from , Randy Parsons and the latter replied with the second goal with help from Pooley. St. Marys evened the count before the period ended, their first coming on a short-handed effort and the second on a power, play.

St. Marys fans were up cheering in the third when Jamie Dunbar scored at the 8:42 mark- to get them back in their contest, but they soon had the smiles wipped off their faces as Dave Bogart scored on a playwith Paul Pooley seven seconds later to rebuild the margin. Monday night's contest was hard fought for the first period as St. Marys tried to extend the series and the teams played without a goal. However, Exeter jumped into a quick lead in the second on a goal by Brad Taylor and they soon took complete control of the contest with two more tallies in the second and five in the third. Perry Pooley paced the attack with three goals, while Taylor added his second, singles came off the sticks of Paul Pooley,Dave Bogart and Brian Mercer. Roger O'Brien and his defence completely thwarted the St. Marys attack to post the shutout.

Exeter scored on a solo dash by Doug Brooks in the first period and St. Marys tied it up late in the second. However, after the rest period, St. Marys came roaring out and scored three goals to cap their second win. Sunday's contest back in Huron Park was a similar situation. Exeter scored first on a solo effort by Jeff Fuller in the opening period and St. Mary's knotted the count in the second. After the break, the teams traded early goals and then St. Mary's ran away with the contest with four goals in the final six and a half minutes.

Pee wees out The Exeter pee wees were ousted from further OMHA play in three straight games by a hard-checking St. Marys crew who posted wins of 7-3, 2-1 and 6-3 in the weekend action. The locals showed the effects of a two-week layoff in Friday's home opener at Huron Park as they were badly disorganized and ran out of steam in the last two periods. They took a 1-0 lead after only 45 seconds when a puck deflected in off a St. Marys defender. John Kernick was given credit for the tally with the assist going to Scott Pincombe. St. Marys rebounded for two goals in the next two minutes and Exeter knotted the count on a tally from the stick of Mark Vandergunst. Dave Underwood and Mike Clark drew the assists. The visitors came right back to take a 3-2 lead after the first and then scored the only goal of the second period to increase their margin to two.

Mike Murray drew the assist.
