road and no traffic is allowed on Main Street today Sorry I looked at Barry and we both sort of shrugged For sure Main Street in Port Perry wasnt exactly a hub of activity on this day Apart from a small group of people gathered around a cou ple of trucks further up the road the place looked abandoned Ive seen more hectic happenings in the and cow pastures in themght in December Now thats weird Barry grumbled You just pulled off a perfect parallel park much to my surprise may I add Aw its not too hard when theres nobody else around I inter jected a little confused myself Anyway my point is if I may make my point perfectly clear sir Barry continued in his own inimitable fashion the point is do these people want our tourist dollars or not I mean we travell ed all this way in the middle of our busy day might I add to- donate to the neardepleted coffers of their sportfishing industry and it looks like they dont want our money Relax Barry I said look at that sparkling water man Lake

extremely well didnt have a chance on either The third game on this very hot and humid day pitted Georgetown against mighty Burlington Georgetown led 10 on a quickly released ball by Joanna Miller set up by a hardworking Melanie Booth However Burlington tied the game at when the hesitant Georgetown mSdfield and defence allowed a great shot from Burl ingtons striker Luck was on Georgetowns side as a Burlington penalty shot hit the goal post With four points on the day Georgetown met West Rouge on Sunday in the semifinals In a very exciting contest with two extremely wellbalanced teams the difference was on an opportunistic goal by Joanna Milter who raced down the left wing released a leftfooted shot that the Scarborough goalie should have had However the goalie slip ped on the dry grass and watched helplessly as the ball rolled across the goal line Georgetown hung on for a 10 win and a trip to the finals At 3 pm in the stifling heat a full minute final had Georgetown against
