Doug Sheppard’s 19th, a blast from in close. After the Capitals took the lead at 8:53 of the third it was all Georgetown as they peppered pfingsley in the final 10 mii All told, the “Raiders took 25 shots in the third put couldn’t sneak one past the Capital netminmder, even in the last minute with Nick Montessano out of the net in favor of the extra attacker. With the loss the Raiders are now 6-21 but head coach Gary Ford was very pleased with the Friday effort and says the players aren’t down. “Tonight (Friday) they came close’ to playing 60 minutes and were consistent. I think they are realizing if you get it going for a whole ame you're going to win.” Ford called Friday’s game the best by the Raiders defense all year but wasn’t sharing the feeling with the forwards. He said they didn’t hustle as much as they should have.

The Awards are given to a Person, club or organization in recognition of their contribu- tion to the game over number of years. Nominations are made from all over. the province and are considered by a special committee from which group a Hee choice is made in each cate; Alex came to canada and the Halton Hills area in October 1975 from his native Scotland, bringing with him the passion for soccer for which Scots are world ee cp began his GuadaiCannts career with the coaching of a 14 year-old competitive team, refer- ring duties, field lining and a spot on the Georgetown Youth Soccer Club executive committee. The following season he took over as president for the retiring Bryan Turner and held that post, in addition to his other tasks, for five sea- sons. In that period he also became founder and vice- president of the old Halton Peel soccer Association (later changing to Peel Halton) executive committ In this early part of his local involvement, he was founder and member of the Ancient lariners soccer team, which originated from the youth soc- cer coaches and managers. The team, and the man, still play today. Following the stint with the youth soccer club, he coached a girl’s competitive team. He became involved in the orga- nization and setting up of the Golden Horseshoe league for girls and women. Executive positions on that league, the Inter County recre- ational league, involved re- writing constitutions and sev- eral other tasks. At the same time, he became Peel Halton’s vice- president and representative to the Ontario Soccer Association, serving on the Referee, Coaching and com- petition committees for five years. He was also the District Commissioner for the organi- zation and running of the Ontario Cup coupled with National Championship orga- nization assistance, even to the task of “ball boy” in October, 1993: This period coincided with two visits out t Edmonton and Victoria with victorious Ontario teams at national championships. He is stepping down from the presidency of the Inter County league “for a spell” as he puts it, although other involvement is likely. He believes the game will always remain strong at the grass roots levels and is unlikely. to ever be a force in North American professional sporting worlds. The major reasons are that the distances involved, money required and people involve- ment is too strong to go and watch professional franchises. Although the best opportunity to make the game “bigger” in this continent may not be bet- ter than in 1994 with the World Cup in the USA. There is no doubt the USA is look- ing to Canadians for major support, coming from his dis- cussions with USA represen- tatives. He accepted the award with the words “There are many persons out there who have put in as much, if not more, of their time and efforts to this game of ours than I have. It is also to them, and for.them, that the award is flattering and an honor to receive”. He also notes the Georgetown soccer move- ment has produced many top class soccer.people who have contributed a lot to the game and brought the area no little fame. Georgetown is well known for the quality of indi- viduals who have benefited from the game and who have given the game benefit: Gary and Gord Miller, players and national and provincial coach- es; Gary Morrow, internation- al player of great repute; Association Ontario Cup hairman; Klaus ee Zander, for- mer youth president and cur- rent PHSA treasurer. These are just a few of the many who have brought the good name to Georgetown soccer, according to Tough.
