A tremendous effort from eight skaters and one goalie couldn't pull out the win for Blyth Juveniles when they travelled to Walkerton on Saturday night. The short-staffed team came up on the short side of a 5-2 contest. Blyth came on strong with two goals in the first period, while the hosts netted just one. Blyth markers went to Mike Salverda, assisted by Benji Hakkers, and Chris Stewart, assisted by Tim Lyons and Salver- da. Walkerton stormed back with three in the second, then added another in the third. On Sunday, Paisley came to town and edged their hosts 6-5. At 13:31 of the first Kurt Kumm, assisted by Mike Bromley got Blyth on the board only to have Paisley answer with two of their own. Then with four seconds left in the period Dan Groves notched one, with help from Stewart. In the second Paisley jumped ahead, but Ben Craig scored at 5:58, assisted by Stewart, to tie it up. Unfortuantely, Paisely bulged the twine once more before the buzzer sounded, taking a one-point lead into the third period. Blyth closed the gap once again at the 11:42 mark of the third, with a shot by Kevin Meade. Lyons got the assist. Paisley poured it on scor- ing two more. Blyth never gave up, as with one second left on the clock, Stewart, assisted by Bromley and Scott Davidson brought the team within one. "They just came up a little short on a well-played game," said Coach Neil Salverda. The Juveniles travel to Mildmay on Saturday to play in a tourna- ment, then are home on Monday, Dec. 9 to play Brussels. Zurich Tykes down Blyth, 11-4 The Zurich Tykes stormed into Blyth, Nov. 30 taking on the home team in what proved to be a lop- sided match-up.

Scoring the home goal was Derek Youngblut, assisted by Richard Greg. Tykes win The Brussels Tykes blew into Hensall on Nov. 30, and showing their hosts no mercy, came away with a 6-3 victory.
