Bly th Novices split in last week's games
BY RUSTY BLADES
The Blyth novices played two
more games last week and they
gained a split of these games as
they won at home against Milver
ton but lost on the road in Seaforth.
On Wednesday evening they
outplayed Milverton and won 6 - 4
although they watched as Milver
ton staged a late-game rally to
make the score closer than the
coaching staff wished.
Blyth scored the only goal of the
first period as cousins Scott Arthur
and Chris Howson teamed togeth
er with Chris finally putting the
small black disc behind the red goal
line.
Blyth then went ahead 4-0 in the
First ladies curling
draw winds up
The first draw of the Brussels
Ladies Curling Club ended on

second frame as they scored three
unansweredgoals. Ryan Chamney
was once again the catalyst as he
notched two goals with the Hakk-
ers twins, Benjie and Shawn,
assisting on his first and Jonathan
Collins and Jason Rutledge doing
some excellent passing to set up his
second goal. Brian McNichol
scored the other goal of the period
as he was set up beautifully by
linemates Scott Arthur and Chris
Howson.
Scott Arthur and Chris Howson
teamed up again to open the third
period and gave Blyth a 5 - 0 lead as
Scott Arthur found the net on this
goal.
Milverton scored their first goal
of the game but less than a minute
went to Jo-Ann McDonald, Susan
Bondi, Jean Bewley and Bev
Stevenson. In fourth place with 29
pts. was the team of Darlene
Oldfield, Brenda Linton, Judy
Somers and Doris Mitchler.
The second draw of the season
will start on Tuesday, January 6.

later Blyth replied with a goal of
their own. Detenceman Frederick
Datema stopped the puck at the
blueline and kicked it to teammate
Brian McNichol who was position
ed in the slot. Brian once again
made no mistake as he increased
Blyth’s lead to 6 -1. No doubt, the
players felt the game was won but
Milverton scored three late goals to
not only make the score closer but
also add to the grey hair being
shown by the coaching staff this
year. Never-the-Iess the team
hung on for an exciting 6 ■ 4 victory.
On Saturday afternoon the team
played in Seaforth in a game which
saw them play exceptional hockey
for most of the game but collapse in
the final five minutes and go home
on the short end of a 5 - 2 score.
This game was an entertaining
see-saw contest with end-to-end
plays and great goaltending until
the blades fell off the Blyth team in
the final five minutes.
After a scoreless first period,
Seaforth opened the scoring in the
dying seconds of the second
period. However, the line of Brian
McNichol, ChrisHowson and Scott
Arthur all had a part in the scoring
statistics as they took the p uck from
the face-off at centre ice into the
Seaforth zone to start the third
period. It only took 17 seconds, and
some fine passing and hustle, as
Chris Howson tallied with assists
from Brian and Scott.
The score stayed tied 1 - 1 until
late in the game when the Seaforth
offence exploded for four straight
goals to demoralize the boys in
blue. Small consolation was a Blyth
goal by Jason Rutledge with only
11 seconds left in the game. Jason
spotted the opening between the
goalie ’ s pads and scored a nice goal
with assists going to linemates
Henry Bos and Ryan Chamney. It
was another exceptional game that
was much closer than the final 5 - 2
score indicated.
The Blyth Novice A-Team has
one scheduled game this week. On
Saturday afternoon they travel to
Brussels for a 1 o’clock match-up
against Elma-Logan. Then on
Sunday, December 21, the team
will be travelling to Parkhill where
