The Gaels trailed their second-round East Conference matchup to the Oakville Buzz, only to come back with three straight wins to advance in the best-of-5 series. Halton Hills and Clarington have met six previous times in the playoffs since 2007 and the head-to-head tally stands at three wins apiece, with the fourth-seeded Bulldogs hold- ing a 2-0 edge in the East Conference semifi- nal. Game three is set for Bowmanville Thurs- day night. A Bulldogs' win would set up an all- Halton conference final as the second-ranked Oakville Buzz downed the third-seeded Ak- wesasne Indians 13-8 Sunday and now have three chances at home coming up this week- end to move on to the next round. "We have too much respect for an organiza- tion like the Gaels to be focused on anything other than our next game against them," said Bulldogs' head coach Blaine McCauley. "Our younger guys are excited and a lot of them haven't been in these types of situations before. It's up to our leadership group to keep everyone on an even keel. We're happy with the way we've prepared for the games, but the only way you're going to get experience is to be in those pressure-type situations, because you can't re-create those things in practice." After a rout over the top-seeded Gaels in their playoff series opener last Saturday, the 'Dogs found out quickly Sunday evening that game two wasn't going to be another walkover. The Gaels jumped out to a 2-0 lead three minutes into game twoand while the Bulldogs surged out to a 6-3 second-period advantage, the Clarington-based squad pressed until the end but came out on the short end of a 7-6 decision at the Alcott Arena. Kyle Moore scored twice in the middle stan- za, in which the fourth-place Bulldogs kept the Gaels off the scoresheet, with Seth Laidlaw's pair in the first erasing the visitors' early lead. Owen White, Miles Cox and Adam Charalam- bides also tallied for Halton Hills. If a fourth game is required, it would be played Friday in Georgetown at 8 p.m. Seven-year-old Emma Spurr receives some pointers from new Halton Hills Tennis Club head professional Amr Shagara during one of the club's Summer Camps at the Gellert Recreation Centre.
