They appeared to be every bit as good as their rivals. The ab- ility to get back fast eut off most of the Clinton breaks while Peach for Listowel made a few good saves. As the series was played on a goal - to -count basis the Clinton team took the round by a wide margin and with any luck at all should finish up well in the money. The.
