CALDWELL CONSTRUCTION Blyth Gary Caldwell 523-9354 Blyth Atoms just miss Despite the loss, the Blyth Atom Bulldogs played one of their best games of the season at home against Hensall Dec. 16. The line of Cook, Bokhout and Hesselwood created several scoring chances, but were thwarted by an alert Hensall netminder. Intimidation and aggressive work by Campbell and Dobie kept the opponent on guard, while tenacious checking from Falconer, Reid and Jenkins kept the visitors scoring to a minimum in this 2-0 contest. The defensive pairings of Whit­ field, Peters, Albrechtas and Kellington helped the Blyth goalies clear the puck out of danger. Salverda and Elliott continued their strong play in net with many excel­ lent saves as the Bulldogs dynamic goaltending duo. Merry Christmas May happiness and peace be yours all through $ this joyous season and through the new year from our home to yours Walton Dungannon
