Dave Nicholson made it 3-1 when he tapped in a rebound coughed up by Eagles goalie on a hard shot by Phil Cochrane. Trent Mood gave Flamin- "gos a 4-2 lead late in the first period on a disputed goal. The rising shot hit the right post, deflected upwards, struck the cross bar at the " back of the net and came back out.

One minute into the third period, Phil Cochrane put Port Perry ahead 7-4 when he whipped a slap shot from the left side that Eagle goalie Don Wilcox simply waved at with his glove hand. Eagles goals by Gerry Kemp, Chris Dwyer and Dan Farrow tied the game and set the stage for Owen's winner with just two minutes remaining. Despite the second period let-downs, Flamingos have improved in their last couple of outings. The addition of Phil Cochrane, who joined the club three weeks ago has helped. He has a reputation as a goalscorer, is an excit- ing player to watch and has helped take some of the pressure off Port Perry's were defeated by a score of 3-1. } Uxbridge opened the scor-- ing early in the first period at the 9:14 mark only to have Port Perry with super offen- sive team work come back and score at 7:50 on a break- away by Howard Lee.

The victory over the tough Eagles should give the team a psychologi- cal boost. : The game against Bow- manville was a free-wheel- ing affair with neither club showing any concern for de- fensive hockey. Flamingo goalie Charlie Durward made several big stops in- cluding one point-blank in the final seconds against Eagle trigger-man Ted Puk which preserved the victory. Durward also got in a few licks when he squared off in a fight against Gary Nemisz. Port Perry took 22 minutes in penalties including fight- ing majors to Durward and Keith Holton and Eagles took 18 minutes with Nemisz in- volved in both fights. Port Perry only managed to get one by him. In spite of the great work of the defense, Steven De- Haas, "Kevin Fowler, Vaughan McKee, John Vaz, Mike Cleveland and.
