Last Wednesday the Viking S thumped the Wingham Madill Mustangs 3-0. Goaltender Jeff Le Beau was called on to make only five stops as his teammates controlled the pace of the game. Grant Garrow scored one of the Goderich goals, redirecting a shot past the Wingham keeper. John Thompson scored the other two goals, one of them op a 40 yard free kick. Friday in Stratford, the Vikings lost 2-1 to the Northwestern Huskies. The Vikings led 1-0 on John Thompson's goal in the first half but they sagged in the second half and the Huskies took the initiative, scoring two unanswered goals. Coach Darryl Carpenter's Vikings were missing some key players due to injuries. The Vikings are hoping for better suc- cess against Norwell and St. Marys in their home games this week. Seniors win one game, tie another BY TD The GDCI senior Vikings are off to a • strong start in Huron Perth Conference high school soccer action. The Vikings began their schedule last week with a 2-0 shutout victory over the Wingham Madill Mustangs here Wed- nesday. Friday in Stratford, coach Dick Madge's Vikings played to a 2-2 tie with the Nor- thwestern Huskies. The Huskies were undefeated going into the game, having defeated Stratford Central and Norwell in their first two games. The Vikings have two home games this week., Monday they met Norwell and Friday, 'St. Marys will be the visitors on the GDCI pitch. The Vikings controlled the game from the start against Wingham, giving goalie Greg Lapaine little to do to record the shutout, but Lapaine made a couple fo good saves when the Mustangs did manage to penetrate the solid Goderich defensive wall anchored by fullbacks Dave McDonald, Chris Pitre, Brad Armstrong and Brian Mitchell. Going against the wind, the Vikings got the only goal of the first period. Jamie Reynolds headed in Paul McCartneY's perfect corner kick for the only score of the opening half. Jim MacDonald got the other Goderich goal on a penalty kick awarded for a hands violation by Wingham inside the 18 yard line Midway through the second half of play. • The Vikings had several other good scoring chances. Daryl Madge and Greg Marshall played aggresively on the for- ward line and had good chances. The Vikings had to settle for the tie in Stratford when the Huskies scored in the last minute of play in what seemed like an elongated second half. Jeff Feagan gave the Vikings the early lead, scoring on a loose ball near the Stratford goal five minutes into the game. The Huskies tied the score before the half ended. Jim MacDonald's goal on a penalty kick gave the Vikings a lead which stood up until the final -minute score by Stratford. The Vikings got good efforts from Jeff Denomme, Mark Crawford and Joe Morrissey up front. Mid -fielders Jeff Feagan, Terry Bean, Scott Bell, Andrew Telford and Paul McCartney also played well. Casey Vandenheuvel was steady in the Viking goal. GDCI to host championship meet On Tuesday, May 10 and WednesdaY, May 11 (the rain date is Thursdav) G.D.C.I. will host the Huron -Perth Con- ference Track and Field championships. This is the first time the event will take place in Goderich. Approximately 50 G.D.C.I. students will compete against students from eleven different schools. Taking part hi the meet are; • South Huron, South Central, F.E.Madill, Seaforth, St. Marys, Stratford Northwestern, Stratford Central, Mitchell, Listowel and Norwell. • Coach Phil Bugler says he has, "high hopes for the team. We finished second last year and I think we can do better than that this time." But Bugler adds, "right now the team lacks depth. We have some exceptional athletes but we need more team mem- bers." Bugler feels the G.D.C.I. team members will face their toughest competition from South Huron and Stratford Central. Although the meet is being held at the neva high school track and field complex, Bugler says St.Marys school is acting as convenor.
