take a lead in the series that they lost to Tillson burg a Saturday Fridays score was 9 for Georgetown and then Saturday Tillsonburg won and Disappointing for coach Al Gar diner and Hal Pells as they saw their team show strong ability and potential to win as they got to the finals but then not have the horsepower to overcome Tilson burg The first game started slow with a series of ground ball outs handled by shortstop Greg Dobbin Early on Georgetown was able to score one but Tillsonburg came back and after five Innings they were ahead Pitcher Jay had to bear down and the offense came to life to scratch out a lead going into the ninth Tillsonburg got one for the tie and the heat was really on The boys put a few hits and a sacrifice together and Paul Sevenster was the hero as he drove in the winner Kerslake faced batters in this game as Georgetown started the game with nine players Regular pitcher Adam Poyntz was ready to saw his cast off for the games Adam Hagen was retained at Kingston hockey tryouts and wasn t available either Saturday first game started fast as Georgetown hit the first pitch Trevor came around to score from second on Bob s double but was put out even though he bowled over the catcher who took the throw This set the tone for the game but the Eagles didn t have much offense after that Brent Couhng went to the mound and gave it his best for four innings as Derek Ellard came in to finish up Paul Sevenster started the se cond game and Jay Kerslake came in for 2 innings and then Chris Bar row finished up Georgetown didn t get close in this one as smelled a

on the road Satur to allow to claim the provincial crown Herald photo by Colin Gibson Developers threaten outdoor sports By ALEX TOUGH A note of caution Property Development and property developers Recent weeks have shown an agitation by some local residents about the increase in the moves by property developrs There is con to be anxious The developers generally are interested in one thing and one alone to make more money and profits Even at the ex of the community I recall a number of years ago I was accused in print without prior knowledge of attempting to take the home owners very lawns for soccer fields The accusation was of course completely untrue However we must be careful If the developers have their way and with a great deal of support from the inner councils of local govern ment the developers may win out at the expense of community re quirements Regardless of soccer by far the largest of single group tions all outdoor sports and recreations should be wary and be alarmed at the growth of all ap plications for development Almost every little space seems to be earmarked for property development Just look around you Although not totally aware of other groups requirements and current facilities I am aware of soccers current and future re quirements We are down to two socalled major fields in Cedarvale and goes to development very soon Joseph GibbonsMoore Park is not suitable as a major field Within the next few years we shall have the south fully and shall require more fields capable of taking all entrants Surveys of smaller communities without recreational and sporting facilities have shown that more hooliganism and vandalism arises where a distinct lack of facilities are available to the people This past weekend a four wheel ed vehicle was driven across and damage was caused to light standards at the same premises The ground allocation south of town in the Hallows better be made available or we have serious problems Moving on The first round results
