forward Roy Dolmen and the return of last year leading scorer Glenn Murray from the Junior A Platers Motor as he is known to area fans can play de fense as well as put the puck in the net and If he sticks to playing hockey instead of the rough stuff he sometimes uses he will be a valuable asset to the club It was not what the would consider a good night in Milton on Friday evening as both goalies Acton Rob and Milton John Kemp seemed to be fighting puck The first three Acton goals were on the gift variety while Bremner usually the Sabres player of the game seemed shell shocked from the previous weeks matches when he faced 144 shots in two games allowing eight goals on shots had shots at the net After a fast scoreless first period the teams set the stage for the re mainder of the contest early In the second stanza Barry Trood opened the game a scoring with a marker at the second mark from Mike and Sean Doyle but the Aclon lead was shortlived as the Flyers responded seconds

Doyle pulled the Sabres to within one with only 1 remaining in the frame Miller and Rhynolda picked up assists on the goal Milton extended their lead to three goals early in the final frame with goals from Eric Ellison and Stark but the Sabres finished yet The Sabres came to life with Neil Anderson goal with a little more than 12 minutes remaining coming to the attack and rattling three shota off the cross bar after beating Milton a Kemp cleanly Greg Hartman and John York earned assists on Anderson marker Anderson a second goal of the contest pulled the Sabres to within with nine minutes remaining and looked as if hi locals may pull it out Brad Buchanan and Pat Fung helped on the powerplay marker A Milton goal with five minutes remaining and a late penalty to Neil Anderson put the lights out for the Sabres and their comeback hopes The following night at home to Oak Ridges the Sabres defense was looking slightly different Brad Buchanan was out with a shoulder suffered in Milton
