Times-Advocate, 1996-05-29, Page 16SPORTS Times -Advocate, May 29, 1996 ie rolier blade cIInIc Ighllght of Summer Active 'EXETER - Exeter and its sur- rounding communities are getting active. Each year the town of Exeter and surrounding municipalities have celebrated Summer Active pre- viously known as Fitweek, by or- ganizing events that promote an active and healthy lifestyle through physical activity. The nine day event began on Fri- day with Sneaker Day. People in the community, either at work, at school or at play were encouraged to wear their sneakers for the day. During Summer Active Week, the staff of the South Huron Rec- reation Centre set up demonstra- tions of various programs based out of their facility and offered an open house for other recreation and leisure oriented businesses in town. Lynne Farquhar, Recreation Di- rector, said the program began sev- en years ago when businesses used to hold mini -corporate challenges in conjunction with the Huron County Health Centre; but it has since expanded to encompass all facets of the community. "It's designed to promote a healthy lifestyle and also to let people know what type of rec- reational activities are available in their community," said Farquhar. "We hope people who are not ac- tive will get active and take the op- portunity to watch or participate in one of the demonstrations." One of the new demonstrations this year is an in-line roller blading clinic conducted by Jason Hey- wood of the University of Western Ontario Mustangs and Jeff MacL- ean of the Kitchener Junior "B" Dutchmen. The clinic takes place toaight (Wednesday) at 6:30 p.m. on the cement floor inside the Rec Centre. MacLean said it is geared to- wards the beginner and to the ex- perienced roller blader and will in- corporate roller hockey skills. "'There's a big difference be- tween roller blading a::d ice skat- ing, especially in turning and stop- ping. You don't have the same agility on roller blades as you do on ice," he said. Roller hockey is growing in pop- ularity and there has already been a professional roller hockey league established in the United States. The Ree Centre will hold a youth roller hockey tournament in Sep- tember in conjunction with the Ex- eter Fall Fair. Co-op Juniors split :last two games EXETER - The Exeter Co-op Juniors squeaked a one run win over Thomdalc on Saturday after - suffering a 10-1 loss to Byron Thursday. Although Thursday's score was a bit lop -sided, the Co -Op Juniors didn't really end this game on a dis- couraged effort. Byron batters hit three home runs over the left field fence. Two of the blasts were off Exeter starter Mark Glavin and one from pitcher Dwight Gingerich. Exeter Co -Op Juniors left 11 run- ners on the bases. Twice bases were loaded with two away. Scot Kemp and Joe Maskell both hit balls deep to the warning track, only to have Byron fielders make a fine defensive plays. Mark Glavin and Dwight Ginge- rich allowed eight hits between them with five walks. Shawn Gil- lespie pitched the last two innings, striking out the six batters he faced. Co-operative communication prevented Darryl Hartman and Scot Kemp from colliding after both chased a pop fly during an Exeter Co-op junior baseball game on Saturday. Imperials split a pair EXETER - Exeter Imperials de- feated Moorefield 5-3 last Tuesday night at the South Huron Rec Cen- tre. Catcher Gavin Snell was the of- fensive player of the game as he singled, tripled, walked, scored two runs and drove in a run in three at bats. Also contributing offensively were Greg Rutledge, with his sec- ond home run in two games, Greg Dalrymple with a triple, Darren Kints with a double and Kenn Hines with a single. Starting pitcher Steve Cook went the distance for the win, allowing three runs on four hits, while walk- ing four, hitting a batter and strik- ing out 12. On Sunday night, Exeter trav- elled to Hickson where they were trimmed 9-3 by the host club. Ga- vin Snell continued his hot hitting Centennials. lose to Marconi EXETER - The Exeter Centenni- als played Marconi on Friday drop- ping a disappointing 2-1 game to the host team. . After a scoreless first half, Exet- er's Mark Brintnell opened the scoring after a shot by Jeff Lingard put the Marconi goalkeeper out of position. The Centennials goalie mishan- dled an easy shot allowing Marconi to tit the game at one. The tieing goal seemed to motivate the host team as they began to put on the pressure. A questionable call late in the game ell .fled marconi to a penalty shot. T .e resulting goal secured the victory for Marconi. The Exeter Centennials will trav- el to London to play the Olympics on Sunday. Game time is 7 p.m. with a single and a walk in four trips to the plate. He also drove in a run and scored a run.

Exeter's record now stands at two and four losses with road games scheduled Monday and Thursday this week. They will be travelling to Mitchell this weekend for a'Jun- ior tournament. Exeter`s Scot Kemp hit two sin- gles and Jason Maskell, Darryl Hartman, Dale Hopf and Shawn Gillespie each contributed singles. Byron, probably the strongest team in the league, will be in Exet- er June 6 for a grudge match: "It will be a much closer game," promised coach Gary Hartman. The outcome of Saturday's game was unpredictable as Exeter was short of players and brought up four Midget age players for this contest. Lead of batter midget Ben McCann had a strong game, with some fine defensive plays and a strong bat, hitting three singles in six at bats. Paul Gregus contributed a single, as well as being hit twice by the Thomdale pitcher. Ryan Armstrong hit a single, while Jeff Reid scored a run after being hit by a pitch and stealing second base. "These Midget players all looked really confident against the older Thorndale team," said Hartman knowing this young talent will soon be coming up through the ranks .to jointhe Junior squad. Darryl .Hartman . belted.-twa•.dou•. Ible,l and a single. Blake Schade, Scot Kemp and Mark Glavin each had two singles. Darryl Hartman, Dennis McCann and Mark Glavin shared the pitch- ing duties.
