(Eve Martin photo) Final Four play off in league action BY ALEX TOUGH Special To The Gemini The Inter County League is down to the final four teams in each division, or will be by the time you read this entry.

Last week Forest Hill had ameritorious win against dif- ficult Caledon. Eagles had lost earlier to front running Meteor in group "A" 3-0. Blazers defeated visiting Li- ons 3-1, which still left the team one point short of mak- ing the final four. As things are, Meadowvale won a de- fault match to reach the semi- final, and Britannia took first place in group "B". Harps defeated a depleted, injury plagued Mariners (who ended up with eight players, only one of those fit) by 8-0 and wee still attempting to score in the dying minutes. Harps took first place and Marines second in the group. In other grouping, United scraped through against a ten man Thistle 1-0 to hold on to first spot. Ajax, the Cinderella story of the season, came through with a 2-1 win at Milton to enter the last stages. Five of the eight finalists are from Georgetown which os a fair achievement consid- ering the way matters have gone in recent times. No doubt, Ajax are the come- back team of the season.

The finals are set for Meadowglen on Oct. 5. The first division is set for 1 pm and the seconds at 3 pm. The playoffs have been marred by several teams play- ing ineligible players, mostly due to careless, rather than criminal acts. The deliberate ineligibles came from a team no longer in contention or membership. However, the situation is an item to be looked at more closely for next season. Highlander's hope for zero loss season BY MARK A. MANN Special to the Gemini The North Halton Highland- ers Rugby Team moved an- other game closer to an unde- feated season on Sunday as they handled the Toronto Scottish 15-5 in TRU third division play. With only tworegular sea- son games remaining the Highlanders have mathemati- cally sealed first place in the league and are set to move up to the second division next year. The team improved its record to 11-0-1 with wins over Markham, two weeks ago and the Scottish this past week end at Neilson's Field. The Highlanders mounted an early lead on the Scottish as Dave Lipp and Kyle Goodlet combined for a try following some hard hitting forward play. Trevor Harkley missed the convert from a very uncomfortable position, near the Scottish sideline, but added three more points for the Highlanders as a penalty attempt made it through the uprights. The Scottish narrowed the lead before the end of the half with a try that was scored on a sloppy Highlander defense and with some help from the referee as well, Despite efforts from the referee to give the Scottish a lead, the Highlanders de- fended well and finally put the game out of reach as Kirk Serjeantson scored on a bril- liant last minute penalty play thought up by Captain Bob Ford-King. The 15-5 victory marked the final home game for the Highlanders as they play Markham and the Scottish once more each on the road. This team, which refuses to play to its potential, will be without outside centre Mark Lamb and winger Rob Elmslie for the remainder of the season due to injuries, but are confident that they can finish the season unbeaten.
