Juhior A League. With discipline a major concern of head coach Gary Ford, Raiders played as if they got the message and may have won Saturday’s game if not for a couple of bad bounces. The Raiders and Capitals exchanged great scoring chances in the opening peri- od as the play went end to Raider defense got caught many times pinching in, leaving Stinnett to fend for himself on 2 and 3-on-1’s. Ford was obviously not pleased with the numerous breaks the Capitals had, “We told them not to pinch in the game, maybe the problem is between the ears and not the legs. Stinnett tus in their for the first od.” After Brampton opened thé scoring mid way through the period on a power play goal from Caps sniper Ryan Foster, who ended up with five points, the Raiders replied with just under two minutes left in the period. After taking a pass from Ryan Brown, Trevor Brandt found himself on a break- away and hit the post after beating Capital goalie Dave 0. A hustling Will North was there to put the rebound in to tie the game as the line of North, Brandt and Brown played strong combining on the night for eight points. Raiders took their first ‘4 \ lead of the night 42 seconds in as Brown buried a pass from North in the slot home for a Raider 2-1 lead. Although a high scoring game was expected, both goalies had other ideas, continually stoning the Opposition. Until the 9:26 mark of the second, that is, when the game broke wide open as the teams combined for six goals in eight min- utes. Brampton scored two goals in a seven second span, the first coming on the power play on a harmless looking point shot that made it’s way through Stinnett’s legs. Then, off a face-off, Steve Rand lifted a shot past Stinnett in the top left hand corner for a 3-2 Caps lead. Roberts replied 39 sec- onds later on a blast from inside the blue line that nicked a Brampton defense- man and found its way in. The Raiders then made it 4-3 at 15:57 on Brandt’s first goal of the season as the puck just squeezed past Caps goalie Franco after a nice set-up from Brown and Jason Parks. Just as it appeared the Raiders were in control of the game, the Caps came right back to tie things on a long shot from the point that went through a screened Stinnett. at goal that may have taken some steam out of the Raiders because 38 seconds later the pinching cost the Raiders as Brampton scored the eventual winner on a bang-bang 2-on-1 pass play in front of the net. Trevor Brandt was the Raiders first star with a goal and two assists, Paul Stinnett was the second star with key stops throughout the game. The third star was Brandt’s line-mate, Will North who had-a goal and assist. Fans were no doubt happy Saturday to learn that Trevor Elinesky has signed with the Raiders and this paid dividends on Sunday night. Elinesky scored once and assisted twice while line- mate Ian Ellis netted a hat trick and an assist to lead the Raiders to their first win of the year over North York. It was a chippy affair as 28 minor penalties were handed out to both teams while North York racked up a total of 75 penalty min- utes to Georgetown’s 41. The Raiders jumped out to a 3-1 lead after one peri- od on goals by Doug Sheppard and two from Ellis — one coming on the power play that looked a lit- tle sluggish Saturday. Both teams scored one in the second, the Raider goal by Elinesky with Ellis and Kris Arro assisting, Royal York scored 2:30 of into the. third before Sheppard would score his second of the game from Brent Ford giving the Raiders a 5-3 lead. Ellis put the game out of reach scoring his third of the game with 1:48 left assisted by Arro. North York scored 22 seconds later but goaltender Nick Montessano and the defense held the Rangers in check to Preserve the win. The Raiders are now 1-1 early in the season and have a stretch coming up where they will face the top teams in the West division.

Tense time in Inter County By Alex Tough It is down to the wire in the Inter County Soccer League. The playoff Cup finals are set~for this evening (Wednesday) at Cedarvale. Second division league winners, Eagles, face off against second place Caledon at 6:45 p.m.-in tillating game. Caledon had the mark of Eagles during regular season play and hope to meet the challenge Meanwhile, Eagles are looking to prove that the season form is. not quite correct. We shall see, won’t we? In the first divi- sion league winners, Meteor will meet third place Meadowvale in the final game of the season, at 8:45 p.m. No doubt; Meteor are a what promises to be a scin- , Soccer Strong side, who are filled with talent and strength with Meadowvale also a strong team, with all their players out. Last week, Meteor saw off the Mariner challenge with an emphatic 4-1 victo- ry. Yet the turning point may have been when a Mariner attack ended with a shot off the post and the immediate reply was ‘a Meteor shot off the post into the net. This semi-final was a sporting contest throughout full of good football and honest chal- lenges. The second match saw Meadowvale defeat a shorthanded Merseyside by 3-2:after: going “ahead: by 2=~ 0. Questions have been raised about the Merseyside squad and will be dealt with later by the league execu- tive. Nevertheless, a fine match worthy of the occa- sion. Eagles destroyed Falcons by 5-0 to open the second division semi-finals. Three early goals almost sealed the win and a comfortable win in the end was fine. United put up a spirited dis- play against Caledon before going down 1-3. Both final matches should be entertaining with football uppermost from all four teams. The Knock out Challenge cup final is also to be played off later, between Merseyside and Blazers.
