Playdowns Midgets open one game lead over Fergus team By John Archibald The Acton Galvcast Tan- ner "BB" Midgets travelled to Fergus Monday night and edged the Green Ma- chine 3 -- 2 to take a one game lead in the best of five OMHA playdown. The Midget squad played one of their best games of the year getting a solid effort from all team members. Acton came out strong early in the first period keeping the play in the Fergus end for the first four minutes of play. A costly penalty to Kurtis McArthur for slashing forced Acton to play shorthanded. Fergus quickly capitalized, scor- ing just over a minute into the penalty. Acton never gave up and fought back with an unas- sisted goal by Eric Goll. In the second period, Acton kept the pressure on when Kyle McDonald added Acton's second marker at 13:42 with a two-way passing play from Tim Pembleton and Greg Boughton. Twelve seconds later Mark Boy- cott slid the puck past the Fergus goalie in what proved to be the winner on a pass from Brandon Ceccotti. The Galvcast Midgets played a solid game defen- sively for the remainder of the game. However, Fergus fought back to get within one goal at 6:25 to keep the game interesting. Simon Sharples made some key saves in goal late in the game 'to assist Ac- ton in holding onto the win. The referees for this se- ries are neutral (out of Town) and officiated one of the best games this sea- son. The second game of this series will be played in Acton on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. The fourth game if necessary will be played in Acton on Wednesday, January 21 at 7:30 p.m. We encourage you to come out and support our local midget team and watch some exciting fast paced hockey.
