Moses Drummond scored for Lis- towel but South Huron was too much for the visiting team who had to concede the Huron -Perth ti- tle to the Panthers. 'Me game started off hard but we got a couple of goals and got more confident as the game went on," said team co -captain Adam Jean. "At times we felt pressured because we haven't won Huron - Perth in so long." Jean credits the team's sharp passing and their ability to work the ball around the outside for their success, and he said they will carry this to WOSSA with them. "We have all the skills it's just a matter of of putting them together," he added. Pat Rowe, Athletic Director, pre- sented the team with their medals after the game congratulating them for bringing the H -P title back to South Huron for the first time since 1985. This was Coach George McE-� wan's sixth trip to the H -P finals; but, it was his first win. "He's been here six times I'm glad to see he's finally got it , per- fected," joked Rowe." This isn't the firsttime we tad what it took to win," said McEwan recalling the talented teams he iters coached over those six years. "But it feels good to get there." Nobody was really surprised at the outcome. The seniors reigned supreme going undefeated in regu- lar league play with . six con- secutive wins scoring 27 . goals while only allowing three. They continued to dominate . it1 • the playoffs beating Seaforth 4-1 last Wednesday in the semi-finals, and shutting out Clinton 4-0 in the Hu- ron Finals.

Dwight Shepherd of Dashwood reeled in a 21.32 pound Salmon taking first place in the annual fishing derby which ran from May 18 to 27. Theresa Brenner of Grand Bend carte in third place with a 19.25 pound saltnon. The top fish in the trout division went to a London man who weighed in an 1137 pound trout. This year's event was extremely successful compared to the last one. A total of 435 fish were caught, an increase of 145 fish from the 1995 derby. "That's a big increase," said Der- by Chairperson, Bob Green who believes more fish were caught this year because the derby was de- layed for one week due to the slow recess of toe on the lake. "That worked to our advantage and we caught a lot of fish because of it," he said The weather also cooperated as this year's derby enjoyed sunshine and calm writers. "There were no blow -outs, the weather was excellent and every- body got out every day," said Green. Six hundred single and family tickets were purchased for the der- by, however, Green estimates 900 anglers took to the waters over the 10 day derby. According to (JrCi j the high number of fish caught this year will • help promote the derby for the fol- lowing season as fish stories begin to circulate among sport fishing en- thusiasts. "Usually, if we catch a lot of fish we'll sell more tickets the fol- lowing ollowing year. This will have an im- pact on ticket sales next year for sure," he said. Loyal pullers appear on television Members of the Bluewater Tug -Of -War Team are taped by TVO in a documentary about the sport and its association with Hay Days By Claris Shakos Ty1 Reporter DASHWOOD - Members of the Bluewater Tug -of -Wer Team en- joyed a brief period in the lime- light as TVO television network aired a 10 minute clip on the sport last Monday. Erich Freta. couch of the Blue - water team said he was contacted by the television station in April asking if the members would be in- terested in patticipattiag in a small Preiter said they were looking for competitive teams In Ontario that were already practicing for the up- coming season. At the time, Bluewater and a group from Simcoe were the only active teams so Freiter and Dave Oliver, coach and meager of top Simco* squad, teamed up lo help fill the station's taping deadline re- alizing they could use the coverage to their advantage. "We} (Bluewater and Simcoe) de- cided to work together on this be- cause we felt it would benefit the sport as a whole," said Freiter who is also on the Hay Days '96 Steer- ing Committee. Freiter Mas so far been un- successful in sparking the interest of television companies and other news media to promote the tug-of- war event scheduled to take place this summer during Hay Town- ship's 150th anniversary celebra- tion. "I was surprised when they con- tacted me because I've been bar- gaining with several TV stations for the lad six months to get some novenae for Hay Days and all of a sudden they called me nut of the blue. I was shocked," said Frena adding he seized the opportunity tight away. Freher, along with Bluewater pullers, Matthias Metzger, Joe Vermmtt and Blaine Pryce travelled to Simons to create a simulated pull in front of the cameras with the Simcoe team. The 10 minute clip, aired on May 20 at 8 p.m., and according to Reiter, it depicted the spott fairly and accurately, casting aside the stereotypical image of tug -of war as a church picnic activity and por- traying it as a historically rec- ognized sport that r.,quires tech- nique, strength, stamina and heart. "It couldn't have been any better. It's going to peak the interest of a lot of people," said Pryce after viewing the video tape of the clip. Freiter agreed. "It's going to help get the sport out of the cupboard and let it be recognized," he said adding he was flooded with phone calls at his home after the clip aired on tele- vision. *The general stereotype of tug. of -war bas been our biggest stum- bling block.
