The Citizen, 1992-01-22, Page 10S ports Blyth Bantams beat Zurich Just a.little rest, okay? The Grand Valley Harvesters' goalie, looks like the Junior "C" Bulls' assualt on his net has worn him right out, during Sunday's game in Brussels. It was anyone's game as the two teams took turns in the lead. BY RUSTY BLADES The Blyth Bantams played a single match last week as they travelled to Zurich on January 13. This was a low scoring affair as only one goal was scored in each period as Blyth shaded the home team 2-1. . Ryan Chamney opened the scoring midway through the first as he finished off a rush by Peter Craig by tipping in Craig's pass at the edge of the Zurich net. Brian McNichol notched the game winner late in the second period with a slapshot from 20 feet out after some good passing in the Zurich Zone by Tim Lyons and Michael deJong. Although Zurich cut Blyth's lead in half early in the third, the work- ethic of defencemen Wilfred Datema, Peter Craig, Jonathan Collins and Henry Bos preserved the victory for the visitors. Blyth puckstopper Chris Lee also continued his fine play as he held off a late rally by Zurich. QUOTES OF THE WEEK: Former New York Yankee Mickey Rivers, on a very cold day in Milwaukee: “What's the wind-shield factor?” Peter Koech, a distance runner from Kenya, on the training condi­ tions in his homeland: “It's a jungle out there.” You can lose a lot more than your licence drinking and driving.©Ministry of the Attorney Ontario General Bulls tie Grand Valley Best Values in New Equipment For 40 minutes, the Brussels out- skated, out-hustled, outshot and out-played the Grand Valley Har­ vesters. For the next 13 the tables were turned. The Harvesters scored three to come back from a 4-2 deficit and took a 5-4 lead. Coach Scott Pettigrew says, “Grand Valley does no take many penalties and we did some stupid things that cost us. That has been one of our biggest problems all sea­ son and if we don't correct it in time for the playoffs we may make an early exit.” Captain Corey McKee was one New trail groomer irresistible purchase Continued from page 1 and bikinis. Its cost was about half the price of a $50,000 new one. The total package proved irre­ sistible. The bright red groomer has now replaced the three large alpine ski­ doos used in previous winters for grooming the four-foot wide trails, the club, whose initials stand for the villages of Brussels and Wal­ ton, previously maintained. Built with a hydraulic drive system the track truck, will now mark, level and pack the snow into six-foot wide trails through bush. That width will double in open land. Though the cost of the 1985 trail­ groomer was a fairly sizable invest­ ment, the snowmobile club felt that the improved trails would entice more members. Thus the club decided to borrow the major por­ tion of the cost. "It was a big step, but too good an opportunity to pass up," says Mr. Konarski. It would seem that the risk may have been worth taking as the club has gained respect from many snowmobilers visiting the area, for the excellent conditions of their trails. "It's like riding a major high­ way," one traveller remarked dur­ ing a stopover at the Trailblazers' clubhouse, located just south-east of Brussels. As further proof, mem­ bership of the four-year-old club has jumped from 160 last year to to 270. Presently the local club is one of three snowmobile clubs in the dis­ trict to move into the bigger groom­ ing machines, Mr. Konarski said. of the few Bulls to “Show-Up” for the third. Fittingly he set up the tieing goal. McKee went end to end and fed Dan Burton in the slot to tie it at five. It was Burton's second goal of the game. Joe Walker, Steve Fritz and Brad Carter also scored for the Bulls Murray Skerritt paced the Har­ vesters. He had two goals and an assist. Coach Pettigrew said, “Brad Carter has been a great addition. Besides scoring he always finishes his checks and if that rubs off on the rest of the guys we will be a better hockey club.” The Bulls have just four games left. Friday night they travel to Walkerton to play the Blackhawks and then Sunday at 2:00 host the Goderich Sailors. Sunday's game will be the first meeting between the two teams since a bench-clear­ ing brawl last month. The Bulls and Sailors will be playing in the first round of playoffs. The Bulls have clinched second place behind the Hanover Barons. FROM THE BULLSPEN: Friday night's game against Hanover was snowed out. No word yet on when it will be re-scheduled.
