Wingham Girls
Blanked by Goderich
The Goderich femmes had too much
for the local gals last Thursday night.
Not that they looked any prettier on
the ice but they seemed to be able
to score goals which the Wingham
lasses failed to do. The score at the
end of the game was 5-0.
Bud Lott was the brave man who
handled. the refereeing chore and he
only found it necessary to hand out
two, penalties, both to Goderich.
Goderich had a faster and heavier
team, while Wingham missed quite a,
few scoring opportunities to 'snake the
ieb. easier for the sharp gal in the
Goderich
There were no particular stars on
either side. Boyce scored two of the
lakesider's tallies as did Martin.
Emerson accounted for the lone one.
That about winds it up for the
season.
