Ceccotti was named player of the game for Acton. Edge Bridgewater The third-game saw Acton defeat South Shore, an"AAA" team from Bridgewater, Nova Scotia 4-3 in a very excit- ing finish. From the drop of the puck, the game was a fast pace, hard-hitting affair. Both teams played well and you could not ask for a more exciting finish. The locals got on the scoreboard at 4:41 of the first period on a goal by Josh Essiembre from a nice play set up by Braden Artem. South Shore fought back and tied the game with 1:59 left in the first. In the second frame Nova Scotia put the pressure on, scoring two goals at 9:17 and again at 4:33. Not to be out done, the Acton team added a marker at 3:12 of their own with a goal by Deforest from a pass set up by McDon- ald to bring the game within one. With less than a minute to play, the Acton coach pulled their goalie to put out the extra attacker which paid off, as Neil Armstrong tied the game with 28 seconds left in from a pass set up by McDonald. At this point, the Acton team received a lot of sup- port as parents and spectators from other games taking place in the facility, came over to watch this game and started cheering for our Acton boys. Acton got a break when South Shore got called for icing with 6 seconds left on the clock. Once again the Acton coach pulled their goalie in favour of the sixth attacker, which again paid off as Acton won the draw with Armstrong getting the puck back to Matt Angell on the point who made no mistake in firing the black puck into the top corner of the net to give Acton the win with 0:06 seconds left on the clock. What a finish by the Acton team. Armstrong was named player of the game for Acton. Down Dallas In their fourth game, Acton downed the Dallas Titans 4-2. Deforest got Acton on the scoreboard first on a play set up by Mike Bentley and Greg Henry at 1:21 of the first period. Dallas fought back in the second scoring at 10:44. Acton then went ahead again when McDonald put the puck into the white mesh on a pass set up by Bentley at 9:54. The score stayed this way until 7:37 of the third when Henry slid one past the Dal- las goaltender on a pass from Deforest. The Titans then scored at 6:23 to bring the score within one, but Bentley foiled Dal- las's hopes when he scored in their open net to assure Acton the win ona pass from Wiens. The win also guaranteed the Tanners a berth in the finals for the gold medal. Bentley was chosen as Acton's player of the game. Bridgewater again In the championship game, Acton once again met the South Shore "AAA" team from Nova Scotia. Both teams came out and played a strong game. There was no scoring until 1:37 left in the first when Henry scored on a pass set up by the defence of Williams and Gordon.
