Blade's Bantams move on to second playoff tilt The Goreski Insulator Ban- tams, sponsored by Goreski In- sulation, have moved on to the 2nd round of the playoffs. Millbrook and Cobourg had to play their final game of the round robin 5 nights earlier, and this is what could have happened: If Millbrook had won, Port would. have had to play another match against Millbrook to see who went on to play Cobourg in the next round. If Cobourg won, Port Perry would have to play Cobourg in a best 3 out of 5 series as Millbrook only had a victory and a tie. Folks, you guessed it! Port Perry is off to the 2nd round and are they up for it! One week ago Blade's Army looked like it didn't care about winning as it lost 2 in a row Monday against Millbrook, Tuesday against Cobourg, (the team's longest losing streak, if we recall correctly). Monday night's game was one of those mouth-watering matches and it was seen by a number of Soccer club's executive meet The executive of the Scugog Youth Soccer Club met at the arena on Wednesday, January 24. Although soccer is probably the furtherest thing from most peoples minds right now, the ex- ecutive meets about once a month all year so that everything will run as smoothly as possible when thoughts do turn to soccer. Last year there was a large in- crease in the number of soccer players. As more and more hockey players realize that it is a fun way to keep in shape for hockey we expect that enrolment will continue to increase. In order to help people who are willing to coach, coaches clinics are planned for before the season. For people who are interested in improving their coaching skills even more, the soccer club will share the cost in order that a few people can go to the Level 1 Coaches Clinic. Our next meeting will be our budget meeting. At this meeting, we have to work out how much uniforms will cost, which goal post or nets need to be replaced or repaired, what other equipment needs to be replaced, how much refs will be paid and anything else to do with money in order to work out how much to charge each player. Until you get involved, you don't realize just how much is involved in getting ready for the season. We are still working at raising funds in order to erect a perma- nent building on the site to replace the trailer and outhouses. Ron Cosway is hard at work selling + bricks at ten dollars each. You'll be able to buy one the day of soc- cer registration if you wish to help this worthy cause. Teams from such places as Bradford and Port Hope have already expressed interest in ex- hibition games with some of our teams. Exhibition games and tournaments such as these give the players the opportunity to travel and represent their town. We are planning on newsletters throughout the season in order to keep parents informed. The first one will be handed out at registra- tion. It will include the names of the executive so that people will know who to get in touch with when they have concerns, pro- blems, suggestions, etc. - We will be having a general meeting on Wednesday, February 7 at 7:30 at R.H. Cornish School. Anyone interested in soccer is in- vited to attend. You don't have to have a child who plays soccer in order to become involved. We need interested people for coaching and refereeing among other things. We are hoping with everyone's help to make this up- coming soccer season the best yet. Soccer is a great team sport for the athletes and because of all the action, an enjoyable sport for parents to watch. good supporters. Millbrook need- ed a victory on this night as they strolled into the Insulators house. Folks, they sure made their selves at home as they beat Port soundly by a 7-3 score. This game was all Millbrook as they scored 4 times in the first and that put a blanket on Port's fire pretty quickly. Port never really got back into this fast, physical game after this as they were outplayed from the opening face-off until the 3rd frame. Even though Port scored 2 short handed goals back to back (:30 seconds) in the first period by Laird and McBride they looked in the game for a while but it did not continue. Assisting on Laird's tal- ly were J. Cochrane and Bricknell and on McBride's - Logan and Vander Slagt. The score after the 1st period was Millbrook 4 and Port 2. The second period was once again all Millbrook as they scored 3 more times. Port scored once more on the Millbrook stopper as Laird passed one to Parry who just directed it to bulge twine. Nice goal Pair! Also assisting was D. Vander Slagt. The final score was Millbrook 7, Port Perry 3. Laroc- que got the call to play between the pipes and made some great saves despite some pretty goals on Millbrook's part. The next night in Cobourg was more of the same, as Port lost their 2nd in a row, 3-0. Port is ob- viously not taking the game with them when they leave the dress- ing room, as many guys looked lost out there. Larocque got the call to play between the pipes again and saw a lot of rubber. Good game Shawn. Port never had a break in this game as they hit posts and miss- ed open nets. Coach Wilbur wasn't at all happy with our performance and we lacked hustle and the dump and chase. He told us to do some major soul searchin' after this one and we believe that the team has found it as they will meet these guys again. We talk- ed to a few players last weekend and they want a piece of Cobourg next round. This is now behind the players and they will get this "phaze" out of their system before they play Cobourg again. First home game is tomorrow night, (Wednesday) at 9:15 p.m..
