S Denis Gibbons Tighter than the proverbial drum Thats how close OMHA play between Acton and New Hamburg teams have been over the past five years since the two towns first met in a first round atom series in 1968 Since then the towns have clashed in 17 OMHA playoff series from the atom to juvenile age brackets with New Hamburg winning nine and Acton eight Of the games played the burgers have won 29 Acton 25 and there has been one tie New Hamburg teams lead in total goals scored Of the games played 27 better than per cent have been decided by a margin of two goals or less A single goal has been the margin of victory 19 of 27 Acton leads in scries wins 4 in atom and 1 midget but trails 2 1 in both and bantam and in juvenile Acton has the edge in games won in three age brackets 107 m atom 2 in midget and 54 in peewee but New Hamburg holds a wide 2 margin in bantam and lead in juvenile The Acton New Hamburg rivalry has produced many memories The Acton IGA atom victory in the first series ever played between the towns was the first stepping stone to the Zone 2 OMHA championship the only OMHA honors this town has ever gained In New Hamburg won the best of five juvenile series in five games then marched all the way to the OMHA finals before losing to In that series the local Lions won both games on New Hamburg ice but dropped all three in their own arena Atom and bantam series produced the biggest upset and most dramatic finish lespeclively New Hamburg atoms polished off the Acton A B squad which had coasted to the legular season pennant in three straight games Hie Firefighter bantams who had been unjustly deprived of the extra home game in their best of three series responded to the decision by ousting New Hamburg right in their own backyard when Van Fleet blasted home a 60 foot in overtime of the deciding game The 1973 atom series would undoubtedly take the prize for the spine In a best of seven series Acton A B Supermarket atoms finally won in the eighth game in New Hamburg The teams were tied with three wins apiece and one tie after seven games Score four of the eight games was In tOUrneV Acton Press Wed Feb 13 Centreville eye championship who
