suddendeath overtime win over Caledon to set the stage for Tuesday s deciding game that went in the Flyers favor Sabre coach Ken Steen while disappointed was philosophical about the seasonending defeat What goes around comes around said Steen and I guess it just t in the cards for us to win I m disappointed for the players because the way they played and the character they showed throughout the series they deserved to win The guys really dug down deep they got nothing to be ashamed of I m proud of them What it came down to was just too many missed scoring chances Caledon led 20 after the first period but the never say die Sabres rebounded to score three SAME DAY TAX RETURNS times in the second stanza to a single reply from Caledon to enter third period play with the game tied 33 The

into the period Jim once again was solid in the Sabres nets Team scoring leader Jeff Shevaher had an excellent game scoring three times and picking up an assist Mark Brommersma had a goal and two assists while Bob Gagnon had three helpers The season ending loss not withstanding has to be con sidered a success from the team and organizational point of view During the regular season Sabres finished with a record and were ousted unceremoniously from post season play straight games by eventual Junior C provincial champion Bradford Bulls Sabres posted an 11 24 regular season marie during 198990 league play and their gutsy efforts against Caledon have to stand the team in good stead looking to the future From an organizational point of view said Steen the season has to be viewed as a success I think the Sabres regained credibility as a hockey team and that the interest we created in the Acton ty should carry over to next year Hopefully the interest created will result in more people getting in volved actively with the Sabre organization As far as the team is concern ed continued Steen I m hoping to return and right now we would lose only one player Peter Cargil to overage We should have a solid nucleus of 10 returning players and we can work from there The Acton Sabres are out for the season but definitely not down That as it should be Duplicate Bridge The team of Mike
