their defence was woeful in losing 5-2 to Richmond Hill on Saturday and 10-4 to Waterloo Friday evening. Kitchener won the eight-team tourney by besting Guelph in the championship game. P ip hoto by Colin Gibson/HHTW Adapting to new rules takes time By Ruth D. Taylor The Orange team was fresh and the Gold team was shining as the house league games for Under-11 girls soccer kicked off last week. This is the first time for the girls to play kl-a-side and all the teams are sorting out how to play posi- tions so they do not all have to run the entire length of the larger field. The goalies are adapting to the tule that there is no longer a goalie crease. There are now 30-minute halves, a five-minute half-time and substitutions only with the referee’s permission. The new rules did not stop the eagerness of all the girls to be out running for the summer and the teams all played admirable games to start the new Playing at Mackenzie-Smith field in Acton, the Orange juices were flowing as Kathryn Weston of the Linda Armstrong/Johnson Orange: team scored the first goal seven minutes into the game and then scored another later. She shared the goal scoring with teammates Ellen Smith and Vanessa Taberer, who each got one while Alana Zelek popped two into the goal mouth. The PoppaCorn gold team were undaunted and good positional play Under 11 girls and good ball control by Jaclyn Neill. Heather Stevens and Jill Redman played well also. Kira Lawrence scored one for the PoppaCorns to make the score 6-1. Twenty-four hours later, the PoppaCorn Gold players were play- ing deep and wide as they outshot the Optimist Blue team at the Meadowglen field. The teams actu- ally ran the whole game playing 10-a side, since no players showed up as substitutes. Blue players B.J. Fleet and Kim Nielsen defended well while for- wards Becky Culp and Teri Lynn Reynolds tried valiantly to get the ball to their opponent’s net. In a final rush to the net, the Blue team was called offside. The Gold team were playing their positions and starting to remember to pass to Ashley Campbell who positioned herself in front of the goal. Michelle Smyth did some nice zig- zag dribbling to get the ball down- field. There was exciting action when a 7-women wall of Blue players stopped the king on their goalline on a penalty ki oat player Danielle aad netted two in the first half and Rhonda Myers kicked in another in the second half for a 3-0 score. George Anderson refereed this game and had to call a few hand- balls as the girls have yet to learn to move out of the way of big kickers, At Emmerson field, in their first game, the Green team was busy looking for.a. way through the Red. Milliere’s TV defenders Jessica Macdonald, Sharilyn Kogon and Jennifer Verey. Red players Mary Krasnay and Jaimie Ellis each chipped one into the back of. the Green net in the first half but then Green player Sinead Irvine saw red and netted one for her team just. before half- time. In the last half, both teams toiled in the midfield, yet there were good shots on goal by the Green team. These were deflected or caught by. the Red- goalie Alyssa Taylor who hung onto the ball in exemplary fashion. Green players Caitlin Lichty, Keri Hofing and Meighan McIntyre playing defense and goalie kept the score respectable at 2-1. The referee, Jan Stevens, helped the players to adjust to the new Tules. was displayed by Rhonda Myers 354 Guelph St., Unit 27, Georgetown, Ont.

The Rebels, who have owned every meet they have been in this year, have reached the pinnacle of the track and field season and will attempt to put the finishing touches on a great season. Randy Bond finished first in the senior boys 400-metre hurdles with a time of 59.1seconds. Mike Coutts was second in the senior boys shot put thanks to a 14.12 measurement; Scott Hobbs placed fourth in the senior boys long jump thanks to a 6.46-metre attempt; Matt Brain took second in the junior boys javelin with a throw of 47.38- metres and Rick Vivian was third in the midget boys 800-metres with a time of 2:09 seconds. The girls had Kristy Johnson fin- ish third in the senior girls 3000- metres in a time of 10:51; Karen Walker was second in the midget girls triple jump posting an impres- sive jump of 10.42-metres and Lisa McDonald finished in second place in the midget girls javelin thanks to her 31.07-metre throw. Also plac- ing for the Rebels was Alexis Kerr, Becki Couling, Jen Murray and Andrea Le Bannister in the Open girls 4x400-metres with a third place finish. Track and field coach Bevin Clark liked what he saw at last Thursday’s meet especidlly because: of the number of schools involved. “There were about three times as many schools at this year’s meet then at last year’s, which makes the accomplishments even better.” Not everything finished off on the good side of the coin for the Rebels however.The senior boys 4x100 metre relay team of Matt Zuraw, Randy Bond, Matt Deruchie and Scott Hobbs who were favored HALTON HILLS FIRE DEPARTMENT 873-9298 Men & Women 530 Guelph St. lorval * Nature Trails Compli WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 1993 * Indoor/Outdoor Pool * All Levels of Aerobics * Fully-Equipped Gym and Weight Room ALL FREE FOR YOUR USE ON THIS ay to OFSAA to advance to OFSAA, suffered a bad. break when Zuraw pulled a hamstring after receiving the baton, thus ending their hopes. All in all, Clark says that even though the Rebels send a lot of ath- letes to these. meets, it shouldn’t diminish the results of the team. “You look at a school like Nelson, which had 17 athletes with 11 advancing to OFSAA and that’s a good ratio. But they get.a lot of attention from the coaches, where we carry a team of 75 and the coaches who work very hard can’t give that individual coaching to the athletes. So even though we had about 40 at the southwestern dies it shouldn’t take away from what was done. It just shows they work very hard,” said Clark.
