The Wingham Advance-Times, 1984-11-07, Page 13The Wingham Advance -'fires, Nov. 7, 1984—Page 13 Royals stretch string to four by owning Te�swater, Lucknow NO CHANCE AT ALL—Ron Smith in the Royal net lost control of the puck and it dropped right onto the stick of D. Davidson, allowing Teeswater to grab a 1-0 lead in the final minute of the first period Friday night.

Rockers fail to advance at `Old Yeovils' tourney By Fraser Strong The Wingham Rockers traveled to Durham last weekend to compete in the Hanover "Old Yeovils" oldtimers' hockey tour- nament. Living up to its name as one of the finest oldtimers' tourneys in On- tario, the action featured three clays of hockey com- bining three groups with eight teams each. The Rockers met a determined' group from Palmerston in their first game played at 8 last Saturday morning. Both teams needed a full period just to pry their eyes open, shake the "fuzzies" and find their skating legs. The second period saw., more action as Palmerston's Donald registered two unassisted tallies for his team. Wingham responded with one goal off the blade of Fraser. Strong when Jim English set him up from the left wing. John Cullen, assisted'" by Ross Davies, drilled home a shot mid -way through the third period to knot the game at two goals each and set up the possibility of a tie at the end of regulation time. However with only ttvo minutes left in the game Tim Tolton picked up an errant pass at the blueline, rushed into Palmerston's end around the net and laid a pass onto the stick of English, all the while holding off a checking defenceman. English made no mistake as he rifled a shot by the goalie's glove hand to ice the victory. This may have been the cleanest game of theftourney as but one penalty was called in the entire match. The victory was costly to the Rockers since goalie Barry Ireland suffered an, injury to his knee with four minutes remaining in the game. Although in obvious pain, Ireland insisted on finishing the remaining action. Game two, also played last Saturday, saw Wingham, take , on a well-balanced squad from St. Clements. Although the Rockers held a territorial advantage for Most'' or tire' The, they hgd difficulty finishing off their plays for 'goals. John Fryfogle put Wingham into a 1-0 lead with 1:33 remaining in period one. After stealing the puck deep in the St. Clements' end, Fryfogle rounded the net, LYCEUM TILITIVNI Phone 3671630 for 24 hour movie Information PLAYING FROM FRIDAY TO THURSDAY NOVEMBER 9TH TO 15TH.

Period three saw Dietrick of St. Clements register the. only goal to allow his team to hand Wingham its first loss of the tournament. The Rockers entered game three needing a win to ad- vance to the semi-finals.

Optimist Atoms lose two matches The Wingham Optimist Atoms opened their regular season .last Saturday in Mitchell, but lost 3-0 to the home squad after three exciting periods of hockey. Wingham had numerous scoring chances, but could not beat the Mitchell goaltender. Wingham's goalie, Andrew Gibson, played very well in a losing cause. The Atoms went on the road again Sunday for an exhibition game against ,Howick. The Howick team won the game 5-1 with Phillip Livermore scoring three times. Wingham's only goal was scored by Murray MacLeod since, once again, Wingham ran into hot goaltending. However Gibson and Mat- thew Elmslie also provided Wingham with some ex- cellent goaltending.

The wilts came at the expense of two traditional rivals, Teeswater and Lucknow, with the Royals downing Teeswater 7-3 at the Wingham arena Friday right in a game which was closer than the final score would indicate and then posting a 6-4 victory over the Lancers in a penalty -filled match at Lucknow on Sunday. A pair of major penalties in the third period, one for fighting and the other for high -sticking, cost Lucknow the game, as Wingham capitalized with two power- play goals to provide the winning margin. Brian Ten Pas, who together with linemate Ken Cousins has sparkled for the Royals this season, had another good night, scoring twice, with Cousins drawing an assist on his second goal.

Wingham 7, Teeswater 3 Playing at home on Friday night, the Royals came up flat and had their hands full against a Teeswater team which also sputtered and had trouble getting going on all eight cylinders. Despite the lopsided final margin, Wingham held a slim 4-3 lead midway through the final period as it had trouble generating a consistent offenc 'f: nd oc- casionally broke down in its own zone. However its brief offensive flurries in the second and third periods proved sufficient for the win. The teams played a scoreless first period until the final minute when Teeswater took advantage of a defensive collapse by the Royals to take a 1-0 lead. D. Davidson scored the goal, picking up a rebound and flipping it past Ron Smith, who looked like the target in a shooting gallery as he found himself completely deserted by his teammates. The Royals finally got Super X Atoms win two and tie one to open season the regular schedule and proved to be a much more determined group than during its first meeting with Wingham.
