factor in the Same which had the Raiders just slip ahead less than a Tom Coughlin went be tween the pipes for Owen Sound to finish the game The first wo shots he had went in Later three more got behind him to give the Raid an win and their first wo for keeps of the season and them with the Greys for the last spot in the seven team league IMPORTANT WIN The win was important for the Raiders as

plenty of opportunities he said it slunk Asked If he was templed to put on a uniform and play again said he think he felt he had Hut he if he must create a player in his 1 mage he would I not very big
