Darbishire said the handicap sys- tem ,was -a "great equalizer" which set matches up so opponents had to work constantly for their wins: The players with the better handicaps had to minimize errors since each match was played to 15 points from a starting score for each player de- termined from their handicap and points coming from every serve. "This provided some gripping matches for spec(ators and different results than are normally seen in club league play," Darbishire said.

The Irish devastated Seaforth 9-2 on the road On Friday. Scoring for Lucan were Chad Greenlee. Greg, Henderson, • Mike Robb, Kevin Dunbar, Ben Dobbie, Mark Philips, Jere(ny Hudson (2) and Bob Grant. Irish assists went to Andy Marshall, Chad Lambourn, Hudson, Mike Jaremchenko (2), Robb. Gary.Hudson (2), Dobbic and Henderson. "It was an awesome game." Irish co -coach Jason Bukala said of the Seaforth contest. "It was a total team effort.". in fact, Bukala feels the Seaforth game may have his team finally hitting their full stride. "We've been making some changes to come up with a line-up that plays consistently," Bukala said. "I think last Friday's game was a turning point for us." But last week also saw the other extreme from the Irish with a 6-3 home loss to Lambeth. The game ,rttltlsinid with penalties called''b referee Dan 'Mathieson - 15 minors, four 10 -minute mis- conducts and two ejections against Lucan alone. Those two -minute penalties included a 4ench minor and two 10 -minute majors were called in the second period with four minutes left before they spoke up to Mathieson.. "It was one of the worst officiated hockey games I've ever seen as a coach," Bukala said. "Frankly 1" am sickand' tired of officials that empower themselves to hp off to, coaches." Not only did the numerous pen- alty' calls disrupt the game need- lessly, it changed it, Bukala said. , "They are totally taking over these' hockey games," he said. "h was down to a snail's pace.", The, game lasted 'three "hours and Jason Bukala 20 minutes. Bukala isn't using Mathieson for the scape goat for his team's loss, though. He said the Irish didn't play well and that he himself made coaching mistakes. The Irish are 12-6-2-1, good for 27 points and second place in the division behind Exeter.
