role as relative unknowns In the ongoing Ontario Cup competition Sudbury United was the latest club to find out just who this the local side In Ontario Cup quarter final action at Alcott Field last Sunday The win vaulted Georgetown into the final four of the provincial competition Nobody knows about us said United coach Sam after Georgetowns fifth consecutive On tario Cup victory Thats the main thing we have going for us Its rather unlikely however that Georgetowns next opponent in the competition semi finals will be unaware of its foe United will tackle Bluewatcr Blaze of Sarnia In the first of two semi final con tests on Aug with the winners advancing to the Ontario Cup final On Sunday an entertaining match at the pitch saw Georgetown demonstrate the as and hard running style that has spelled success for them thus far in the tournament After sticking to a fairly conservative game plan in the first half Georgetown opened up in the final stanza with Chris Re lily booting hometheonly goal of the game SOCCER Georgetown attacked from the start of the second half and Its determined assaults on the bury net paid off early as took a pinpoint pass from Splnelll and directed a left footed snot into the goal It was a perfect pass said Inglis of Sinellls offer ing Reilly thumped It home Sudbury threatened repeatedly after Georgetown goal but staunch backtlne of Laurie Tray nor Dean Nelson Tony Hughes and captain Lee Stephens held its ground Veteran keeper Ray Ellis came up big time and again with a handful of key stops as Georgetown preserved its slim 10 lead According to Inglis Georgetowns strict adherence to its original game plan was decisive in the win we had a team meeting in the afternoon and I took some of the players aside and told them what I expected of them and what we had to do to win said In- gilt We decided to play the first half tight and then we came on in the second half thought we were much more dangerous on the counterattack than Sudbury was with their constant attack Fresh legs were also the dif ference as Georgetowns youthful forward trio of Glen Bradley and Kevin Carlisle con kept a veteran Sudbury team on Up toes All three of the locals played on Georgetowns Under IB rep team last year In a is says he combination of youth and experience with em phasis on the former has been main strength in 1988 You have to have a consolidated said Inglis The game is played In the mi afield but won in the penalty area We decided this year to abandon our tired old ex approach and add some said he was pleased with the lads after Sunday s match but he also gave credit to Sudburys net minder for standing up well under the Georgetown tacks I Sudburys keeper excellent in the second half said Inglis The score could have been 30 ly Georgetowns Ellis was also by Inglis for his strong play which felt was tested by some border line foul play by Sudbury forwards Ellis was Impeded a lot he said With only four clubs remaining In the Ontario Cup hunt Inglis Georgetowns real test is yet come Im not actually that prised were doing this well he says despite acknowledging Uniteds status as underdogs In Its previous wins over Burlington and Hamilton After we beat Ajax in the preliminary round I knew we could win In the second round I knew we had a chance to beat Burl ington and then I thought wc would be bloody lucky to beat Hamilton Star The only team who could really have cuffed us in the first rounds was Dundas United and they were beaten out early Georgetown now prepares for Bluewatcr who they II meet on Sunday Aug at Burlingtons Sherwood Forest Park soccer com for a p kickoff Thistle who Inglis refers to as the prohibitive favorites In the Ontario Cup meet either Ottawa St Anthonys or SC of metro Toronto in the other semi final says is a British style ctub with a good blend of youth and quickness At this length in the competition obviously only the better teams are left Wove got to be halfdecent to win stated Inglis With five decisions under its belt Georgetown may be losing its unknown status among fans as well as Its adversaries A good crowd on hand Sunday at Alcott and are starting to take notice of us said Inglis I think the fans on Sunday appreciated the effort of the boys Ben and Carl Show attraction a coming Pauls call Its coming soon The Ben and Carl Show When the worlds best athletes gather in Seoul next September the biggest event once the opening ceremonies are concluded will be the Ben and Carl Show You know Ben Johnson Hes the worlds fastest human being Hes Canadian via Jamaica and to quote a favorite line of hockey coach Tom Watt he runs like the bailiff Is after him You also know Carl Lewis Hes loud obnoxious and conceited To put it briefly hes American Car I Lewis is also very fast Johnson t lost to Lewis in the past three years including last year In Italy when he blew the 1984 Olympic gold medalist off the track along with everybody else while establishing a new worlds record In the 100metre dash In dramatic soap opera fashion an intense rivalry has developed between the two antagonists fuel by flying insults and a seeming ly general dislike for each other Add to that the cancellation of a proposed match race series bet ween the pair and Johnsons own feuding with his longtime coach Charlie Francis and you have a terrific buildup for Seoul Again in true soap opera fashion the match race talks are being rekindled especially after Johnsons recent performance at the Canadian Olympic trials which proved his Injured hamstr ing to be suitably sound and Johnson has been reunited mentor Francis I had the opportunity to watch Johnson train at the impressive York Toronto Track and Field Centre recently When he could find his way past the myriad camera crews and TV journalists he managed to show off some very Impressive form For starters the guy is built like the proverbial brick well hes built His back looks like a contour map full of hills and valleys When he runs even at three- quarters speed in workouts his feet barely seem to touch earth and he blows by runners training at their maximum speeds Johnson and Lewis seem to represent quite nicely their parent nations as the epic showdown looms Lewis bold and brash much like the stole Canadian view of the and Johnson quiet and workmanlike as most Canucks are perceived by our southern neighbors So great is the media focus on this Olympic main event that it mokes one wonder if all the camera crews and television per sonnel might not pack up and leave Korea Immediately after the 100- metre final Hey It apparently happened last weekend in Ottawa But the beauty of the Johnson Lewis confrontation lies In Its simplicity Remove oil the hype hate and hysteria and youre left with two guys running against each other It on ageold grudge match Whos the fastest kid on the block Right now Johnson is the fastest kid on the block And in Seoul the fastest kid will win Back off

Oakvllle played Burlington in the first game of a hot but windy Satur day Burlington took a close game 10 Georgetown played next Knowing hat a win would ensure them a place In the final With this in mind they played excellent soccer and took on early lead through a by Nicole who kneed a from Sheri Nairn that gav a bouncing rebound from their goalie The Georgetown halfback line of Cave Sheryl Buck and Joanna Miller was settling down as a unit and feeding their towards with some good bases and throws The defense of Melonle Jans Carol Ferguson and Benito were often tested by some good pass lng from the Oakvllle forwards but were also hampered by some over- aggreslvc tactics too Just before halftime equalized on a wellplaced effort that just eluded a diving Marianne Longo In the second half with the wind behind them Georgetown had long periods of pressure on the Oakvllle goal and the forwards began to get frustrated at not seeing the ball very often They were penalized a couple of times for un fairly gaining an advantage and from resulting free kicks Georgetown eventually added another couple of goals One cross from Sheri Nairn was neatly tucked In the net by and then Sheri Nairn scored her own from an excellent shot from the night Kim Mliener was brought on to provide relief for the hard running but Georgetown could not their lead Close to the end of the game pulled back one more goal but It was against the run of player and there was no doubt who would Final score Georgetown 3 Having eliminated from the tournament the Burlington ver sus Georgetown game at was a dress rehearsal for the final game on Sunday at m However this was only a minute half game and Georgetown brought Marianne out of goal being replaced by Angela who proved to be a steady backup only allowing one Burlington goal a hard shot into the top corner Also getting her first chance to piny was Tara Leavett who din at half first for Cheryl Buck at centre half and then at left half when Joanna Miller had to lea veat halftime After one early first half goal for Burlington Georgetown playing against the wind managed to re main stingy and part way through the second naif grabbed an equalizer when Doreen Bergs ma connected with a sharp shot that beat the ad voncinn goalie Final score Georgetown 1 Burl ington 1 The final gome on Sunday was delayed while the previous game went through overtime As in previous games Burlington look an early lead against a tentative Georgetown team which only settled down to play good soccer when they were down There were prolonged periods of pressure on the Burlington goal and even a penalty shot awarded to Georgetown but they could not score Finally a persistent Kim Mlzcncr the Burlington goalie Into on error and Cara Gogan was on the spot to put the ball in the net The other towards Sheri Nairn and Nicole Rcmedlos were both unlucky with several other shots that were just short of the mark In the second half the defense was tested time and again by the speedy Burlington forwards but Melonle Jans Carol Ferguson and Mylene Benito plus substitute Tara managed to ensure Nancy did not have too many ficull chance to save Despite cons running by the halfback line of Sheri Cave Cheryl Buck and Joan na Miller they were unable to penetrate the Burlington lines which were containing the Georgetown for wards and substitute Angela Fllz In a very closechecking formation There was no further scoring in the gome end Georgetown were disappointed at being defeated once again by a Burlington team which prays a welldisciplined game Final score
