The Vikings began the best -of -three finals yesterday J Tuesday) in Seaforth. The se- cond game of the series is here tomorrow (Thursday) with game three also here, if necessary, next Tuesday. The Vikings advanced to the finals by doubling up on Listowel, 46-23, here last Wednesday in sudden -death semi-final play. Seaforth battled their way into the finals by edging St. Marys, 46-42, in the other semi-tinal. The Vikings win over Listowel began as a tight, playoff -type game but the Vikings' superiority began to become evident as the game wore on. Goderich led 6-4 after one quarter, but had a 21-10 lead by half time and led 30 -18 after three quarters. Kim Fritzley topped the Viking offensive output with 25 points. She also provided leadership on defence with some ' key steals. Christine Stapleton had nine points, but her domination of the game in the Vikings' defensive zone was her main contribution. Cathie Gallew had eight points for Goderich, seven of them in the second quarter when the issue was being decided. Other Viking scorers were Melaine Jef- frey with two points and Mary Murphy and Tammy Gibbons, with one each. Murphy played what Viking coach Phil Bugler call- ed her best game of the season, hauling down rebounds and showing great hustle on defence. Gibbons had a strong defen- sive game too, and made some fine passes to set up key Viking baskets. Pat Rutherford was a standout for Listowel, getting 17 of her team's 23 points.

Scott Garrow went on a scoring spree tallying five times tG supply the offence. Garrow also assisted on Greg Alcock's single marker. This was probably the locals' poorest outing of the ses son as they sputtered throughout most of the contest. Lions defenceman Larry Leppington, centre Bill Trebish and goalie Greg Townsend proved to be the defensive stalwarts in this game. On Friday night the local fans were treated to some fast Pee Wee hockey as the Lions took a 5-1 lead and were able to hang on to a 5-3 victory over South London Minor Pee Wees. As in Saturday's game, Garrow led the off enee with a goal and a four assists while linemates Bill Whetstone and Greg Alcock had two goals and an assist to round out the scoring. Tom Durnin in net for Goderich had a strong outing, especially in the last five minutes. The Lions this weekend play host to Parkhill, the' team they will probably have to defeat for top spot. Old rivalries continue Curling League begins ninth season BY GEORGE SUTTON Old rivalries continued and new . ones blossomed as the ninth year of Goderich Industrial ' League Curling began on Remembrance Day 1982. The Foresters and Local 1863 faced each other on opening night for the third year- in a row and the competition belied the. fact that this was their first contest of the season. Fine ef- forts by the union, foursome resulted in their winning most of the games ends but clutch .curling by the champion Foresters allowed them to take the game into this year's first extra end. Jack Kellough and Glen Falkiner provided 1863's leadership but Cam Bogie's cool draw to an open house with his last shot of the evening gave theForesters the victory and a one-eighth shareof first place. Equal coolness was not shown by the skip of the GDCI Teacher No. 1 unit in the night's second extra end contest. The GDCI Teachers carried a two point advan- tage in the final end against the student representatives, the GDCI Vikings. A superb draw behind the only cover available by Viking skip Scott Collins followed by a draw into the wide open house allowed the students to fight back for a tie. In the extra end: the Vikings did not miss while Teacher skip George Sutton. did. Result: Students 7 - Teachers 5. The third grudge match pitted the town's medical and health ( not necessarily the same thing you know) units against each other with a -lawyer thrown in for proper supervisiotr R ard• Ottewell's almost flawless performance, on behalf of his. client, the AM&G Hospital team, resulted in a verdict of 9 to 4 over the Huron County Health Unit. The final score however. hides valuable evidence. The games out- come actually rested on the final shot of the night. Health Unit skipJack MacKin- non, himself a graduate of George Sutton's "Curling Under Pressure" clinic. missed his final shot that if made would have caus- ed the night's third extra end game. MacKinnon and Sutton were observed later discussing the best way to say -I'm sorry" to their teammates. A new rivalry was obviously brewing on ice four as well as two new Industrial League entries showed their stuff. The "Super Shell" partnership of Edward, Bissett and Harrison had their debut spoil- ed by the feisty Canadian Legion reps Tom Profit, Jim Bell and Gerry Walters. The final five to four outcome illustrates the evenness of these two competitors but a special compliment must go to the Legion foursome for winning their first match despite a very busy day on behalf of. Canada's war veterans. The Sifto miners had their ups and downs on. this opening day with the veterans "Maniacs" coming up big while the newly' entered "Elevators" dropped their match. Jerry Riseborough led his "Maniacs" skillfully as they had a difficult time defeating Victoria and Grey seven to five. Fran Fisher ( Brenda. Tiechert's sister-in-law) and Cathy Hamilton i Bren- da Tiechert's friend) both curled well and. Rennie Armstrong provided excellent leadership for the much improved V & G -foursome. Tim Colwell and the Sifto "Elevators" were not as lucky as their co-workers as' they ran into the hot and hungry Elemen- tary Teachers. Racy Ron Ritchie and "Dangerous Doig" Budnark provided much of the punch for, their fine team as they scored big in crucial situations for the nine to six win while Peggy Fisher and. Jan Ginn added an additional touch of class to the league. Two of the classiest teams over the years have been comprised of ladies. The Lady Golfers and Lady Foresters both returnee to competition in 1982 and one of them is glad they did. The talented Lady Foresters. behind the "cool -handed" Berl. nice Moore 'and hard shooting Vicki Culbert, overpowered the Champion Office "Silver Brooms" despite excellent efforts by Karen Gilchrist and Paul Mulligan. The Lady Golfers. however. found themselves in a different boat. The GDCI Teachers No. 2 foursome of Warr. Connor. Garrow and Cloet were very sharp and relentless in their pursuit of an initial triumph. The shorthanded trio of Sully. Duncan and White were unable to generate an attack or get a break on this opening night but the season is just beginning and who will remember the night of November 11. 1982. in April of 1983^ Eigh: teams will' , Local Atom team defeats Parkhill 44 in Goderich The Goderich Machinist Atoms defeated of. the second period but Goderich also Parkhill 4-t in Goderich • on Saturday scored M the second period and.. a.gam in 'during SharnriickikagiX 'piny the third with goals- by 'Jeff :Hodges,..., - Tim fjareson- opened up -the se -ovine, for ---assisted _.ba Andre Cauchi and Cauchi-.
