Disgusted with OMLA ruling midgets hang up sticks By Desk Gibbon Acton Rotary midgets have decided to hang op their lacrosse sticks for this season rather than go along with an almost Incredible ruling made last week by the Ontario Minor Lacrosse Association boys have worked an year for the playoff but Just dont feel its right to take them all the way to Ottawa to get clob bered coach John told me last night Tuesday Needless to report coach Goy Is upset about the OMLAs decision to place Acton a first year team in Its C classification when a town with a population of over and n established team which trounced the locals in all four league games mis year has been allowed to enter the midget D playoffs Rotarians won only four league games against the tough Central minor league teams this season but the players had not become discouraged feeling the strong competition would benefit them when it came to playoff time Their hopes were dimmed when coach received word from the that Actons first opponent In the playoffs would be Owen Sound a town with a population of dose to 30000 and a minor lacrosse program which has been organized for years Luckily we couldnt agree with Owen Sound on playoff dates coach Goy continued Then they politely told us we could play the winner of the OttawaToronto Beaches series That really was a shocker Ottawa eliminated the Beaches team and a representative called to suggest a game be played this Saturday night but the Acton coach declined the offer explaining his sympathetic counterpart Convener speaks When I contacted midget convener Jack DeMarco of Mlsslssauga lost night Tuesday he admitted classification errors have been made before and that its possible somebody been mistaken along the way However he absolved the of responsibility for the decision claiming classifications are determined on from the conveners and executive of each specific league DeMarco said Central minor league secretary Jack Burns of Hamilton made the recommendation to classify Acton C by phone but added the Central league was not represented at a later meeting when appeals were heard He said all leagues and all Individual teams were invited to attend the meeting up We pretty well have to accept the conveners recommendations DeMarco told me There are 01 midget teams in Ontario and I personally have had the chance to see only 12 In action Expected same who also is contact man for Actons novice pee wee and bantam teams said he was tod by mall that those teams be in the classification Re said he expected the midget team would be similarly classified What really burned me was that the first time I heard about It was the week we to start playoffs unable to contact either Mr Burns or Central league convener Cyril Davis for
