The Centennials won the Battle for Exeter beating the Fury 4-1 in a convincing victory. Centennials defeat Fury The Centennials claim home -town victory in 4-1 win over Fury EXETER -The Exeter Centenni- als and the Exeter Fury met for the first time this season in a game that was meant to decide the better hometown soccer team. What was originally pre- dicted to be a close game turned out to be an easy victory for the Centennials as they defeated the Fury 4- 1 on Thursday. The Fury were outplayed from the start of the game. Mid - fielders Ruban Chelladurai and Rudy Veldhuizen played strong creating many scoring op- portunities for their teammates but Fury goaltender Randy Mac- Donald made several big saves to keep his team in the game. After being foiled twice, Nick Szabo got behind the Fury defense and finally opened the scoring late in the first half with a strike to the top corner. The Fury defense worked hard trying to limit the Centennials shots on net but they couldn't do any- thing to prevent Dar- iano from scoring on a penalty kick after Szabo was tripped up in the penalty area making the score 2-0 early in the second half. Well placed cross - passing by the Cen- tennials allowed Chelladurai to score his team's third goal after a wild scramble in front of the Fury net. Szabo rounded out the scoring after braking in alone and scoring on the run bringing the score to a commanding 4-0 for the Centenni- als. However, the Fury didn't give up as midfielder Jeff Lingard was re- warded late in the game with a goal on a corner kick from Pete McAI- "Hopefully we'll learn from this game and use it to improve..."

Fury coach Jason McFalls was impressed by how well the Cen- tennials played. "They used the whole field by keeping their players wide which really helped their passing game. That was the best ball control team we have played this year," said McFalls. "Hopefully we'll learn from this game and use it to im- prove in the second half of the sea- son," he said. The win advances the Centenni- als in Division 2 Cup play where 1 they will travel to London to play their rivals Benfica on July 11. Meanwhile the Fury will play their next two games away from home when they travel to St. Thomas on July 6 and then to Lon- don against the Latinos on July 8. Exeter Express having best season since 1988 EXETER - The Exeter Express senior baseball team defeated By- ron 5-2 on Friday June 29 bringing their overall win/loss record to 11- 3. Mike Agnew pitched four perfect innings before leaving the mound due to shoulder stiffness. Marty Merner finished the game but gave up two runs on three hits before the game was out. Exeter started the scoring in the second inning on a double by Mar- ty Meurer and a single by Dave Russell. Russell, Don Macdonald and Fred Gregus added two more runs for the Express on doubles and Scott Russell and Paul Smith hit doubles in the sixth inning while Ron Elliot struck for a sin- gle. This game was typical of how the Express have been playing all sea- son. This is their best start since winning the OBA championship ti- tles in 1986 and again in 1988. A talented pitching staff has been the backbone for the team from the start and their defense has been sharp averaging only two errors per game. Catchers Ron Elliot, Bill Glover and Mark Glavin have been solid behind the plate and Exeter's offense has been consistent averag- ing nine runs per game. In the past, offense has usually been the ball club's weak spot; however, the Express presently have five batters hitting over .400 - Rick Boon, Rob Dickey, Marty Merner, Paul Smith and Scott Rus- sell and four others are hitting over 300. The Express are hoping to con- tinue playing well both offensively and defensively this weekend when they play in the Lakeside -London Open Tournament from July 7-9. Got a sports tip?.
