Rain plagues GFFL By Colin Hares wrachs once again plagued the Georgetown Men’s Flag Football League in games played last Sunday at Neilson’s field. Maybe it’s time the league changed the names of some of its teams to satisfy the fickle weather gods. Longhorns could be changed to Longboats, Meznic Electric to Ferry ‘cross the Menzic, the Dawgs — to Labrador Retrievers and New Kids on the Block to New Kids on the Dock. Still, with apologies to Post Office personnel, the football must be delivered through rain, sleet, etc., and the games went on. In the trio of grid-iron games, the clinched phrase, “The rick got rich- er and the poor got poorer,’’ more than accuratelyu applied. Second-place Meznic Electric breezed past Plus Welding 28-6; first-place Longhorns gored New Kids on the Block 50-8; and third- place Dawgs opened up some breathing space in the league stand- ings by defeating fourth-place M and M 38-30. MEZNIC 28 PLUS WELDING 6 The Meznic offence wasn’t hum- ming along with its usual efficiency in this contest, but the swarming Meznic defence (fewest points allowed in league) rose to the ocas- sion and effectively snuffed out any Plus Welding threat that might have flickered into a flame. A low-key Hal Hulme, the Meznic pivot, was as effective as he heey to be in leading his team to the wi siete (Grizzly) Crossman and Herb Hulme carried the offensive load for Meznic, each scoring a touchdown and two-point convert. John Larose and Gary Lockwood had the other touchdowns. Mark Snow intercepted an errant Hulme pass late in the second half and galloped 55 yards for Plus Welding’s lone touchdown. LONGHORNS 50 NEW KIDS 8 The high point for the New Kids in this one-sided affair was the coin toss prior to the opening kickoff. At least they were on equal footing with Longhorns at that point. It was all downhill from that point as ‘Horns quarterback picked apart the New Kids’ scrambly defensive ploys almost at will. (Will left a bit early as he was a bit embarrassed). The New Kids couldn’t sustain any of their offensive forays and as a result, the defence was over- worked and basically collapsed in the second half. Longhorns lead 22-8 at the half, then outscored New Kids 28-0 to wrap up the lopsided vict If it’s any consolation to the New Kids, Longhorns are the league’s top offensive machine - by far. Adam Hilts had the lone New Kids touchdown, with Sandor Gombocz snaring a two-point con- et engine, 3 yw at vera 25 aye nen, AM! Bill Taylor and Jim Lindsay both had two Allison (on a sideline top-toe maneouvre that completely undressed three New Kids defend- ers) and Rob Rivers had the others. Dave (Haggis) Patterson rounded out the scoring by kicking eight converts and adding a single on a missed field-goal try. WGS 38 M and M 30 In the most entertaining match the loop has seen in quite some time, Dawgs staved off a last-gasp onside kick attempt to narrowly escape with the win.

The teams matched touchdowns early in the second half, with Dawgs pulling even on a two-point convert. Then, midway through the sec- ond half Dawgs scored two touch- downs and added a two-point con- vert to wrest control of the game from M and M.

Shorthanded QES team defeated by Burns club '8 By Leanne Fournier The hot and hazy weather did not halt flag football play, but QES showed up with seven players to narrowly lose 21-17 to Burns in Georgetown Ladies Flag Football League action Sunday. Arnie’s Body Shop hammered a nail in JV’s coffin with a convinc- ing 35-3 victory while CIBC tried out a new quarterback in Noreen Atkinson and defeated Living Lighting 13-6. Arnie’s continues to dominate most teams they play. Sue Ferguson added to hear league-leading scor- Ano APPLIOABLE wes 507 SPEERS RD. 845-1610 K ing total with 18 points. Judy Grinberg and Michelle Vellinga had the other touchdowns while Carol Kovacevic picked up two points and Caroline McMillan boot- ed three singles. JV mustered a field goal by, who else, Rosemary Gale Wysocki. The second match of the day proved to be a far more interesting game than expected. Burns’s offence, without premier receiver Brenda Hamilton, lacked some of - its usual consistency. Brenda Wood, Donna Davey and Joy Thompson each scored touch- downs. Sheri Nairn went 3-for-3 on the day. QES had a few missed. opportunities on offence and defence that could’ve given them the two-point win. Tamm McLaughlin kicked a field goal a had an interception to help the cause. Ruth Reid had a touchdown and Charlotte Prevost had a two- point convert. With time running out, Michelle Robertson picked off a pass on the five-yard line and ran it back for the late touchdown. The last game was a rough con- test with CIBC coming out on top. Both quarterbacks, Atkinson and Monica Mastalerz posted six points, with Mastalerz good for a single. Marg Walinga snapped a touch- down pass for Living Lighting to avert the shutout. Game stars: Brenda Wood (BT); Kelly Cunningham (A); Noreen Atkinson (C); and Chris Smith (J).
