The Ironmen looked good Ifi'lliWiffii;Vbith could be attributed' to the fact that Fergus "played its second game in as many nights following the 4-2 win over the Port Elgin Bears to advance to the semi-final round. The Green Machine lacked aggressiveness, and the crisp passing and fast skating game which it had displayed during • regular season play was missing. The second game in Fergus is likely to see a totally different group of players and a much closer score. The Ironmen jumped into an early lead and never looked back. Mark Frayne put 'them on the scoreboard at 1:50 of the firstperiod. He made a good move at the Fergus blueline, then deked Dan DeJong to the ice before slipping the puck behind the sprawling netminder. Jay MacLaurin made it 2-0 on a powerplay flipping the puck past DeJong's gloved hand after picking up the rebound off Dale Whitfield's shot from the opposite side of the crease.
