Raiders Matt tries to clear a Cambridge Winter Hawk forward out from In front or goalie Joe Volenti during their exhibition game at Alcott Arena on Thursday evening The Raiders lost the game 53 but managed to tie the rematch in Cambridge on Sunday Herald photo by Robert Risk Darts starts up with a bang while Soccer season ending Alex Tough Sports Views DARTS The Halton league opened with a bang last Monday 10th Literally with a bang The lights went out and some matches were abandon ed not knowing when- action would be restored Is it my imagination or have we experienced a number of breakdowns in recent times much more than years ago With new teams and players it is going to be an interesting season to say the least Several returning players have changed teams and right now it looks a little tighter than last season With a new squad Time Out leading the way with a win over Copper Kettle HI took out Station House Sta tion lost 311 to OTooles The first tie of the season came to Hollywood and Copper Kettle Station House HI defeated HZ by Two matches between OTooles and George and Dragon were abandon ed due to the power failure The other OTooles and George and Dragon game went to The first maximum 180 was fired in by Jon Brown Station a high finish of no by Kick Harden no team name and by OTooles 140 scores were made by Greg Thorns Colin Hicks Pauk Kirby Bonnie Schell Dave Scutt Vic Love I Stan Jeff Richardson Ian McDonald Sean and Mark Snow A few others reached extra points 130139 efforts Team names and full names on game sheets please a league quiremenl which is also a help to the scribe On Wednesday the Industrial league entered its second week of action at the Legion The possibili ty of playing up and down exists and hopefully the cramped condi tions for players and Legion members will not be for too much longer High Rollers and Hustlers are first divi sion winners for the week Outlaws Panthers Inter County and Acadian win in the second flight and Outlaws are the respective leaders at this early juncture Exports and Bandits hold sway at the foot These positions will no doubt change often along the way Jim Fisher had three opens and two closes including a start of 100 Dennis and Ray shot 140 Brian Hicks and George Gaskell topped 120 Ian McDonald continued form with four opens two closes and 140 Terry Hancock opened with 152 and Dan Abercrombie closed to go with three finished Ron Scarlett had four opens and two closes with Rod Beaumont scoring high with Bruce Hope finished on and Jeff Richardson closed three and both players scored tons Roy and each opened four as Laurie Hopkins scored Marty Claude had a 33 showing in opposition to Mike Hope with a effort George had five opens and two closes Ron Corbett supporting with Dan had two opens and tons Paul Kavanagh had three starts and two closes Joe had three finished Bruce McCart ney shot Dean Hancock and Lloyd each had three starts Gord Bottoms shot and Jim Watson had three opens and a close SOCCER Fridays rain put a damper on the ladies finals of the season and led to a cool Saturday at Bolton for the last day of the season However last Wednesday was foggy for just a while and did not halt the games Senior men Mariners and Villa are out of the playoffs Villa have been unable to field a team for most of their playoff games which is a pity Mariners fell to Dave Ent- and fellow Meteor by Big Dave pounced on indecision in the early going to give Meteor the lead then went into goal upon an injury to Ian Syme and proceeded to shut out the eager Mariners A late penalty sealed the result Manners dominated play all the way and could not score when most needed Another late season An cient special United and Eagles played to a tie Alcott Eagles again forcing with a late equalizer Ajax had a belated win over Milton by 31 just too late to qualify for the lasl stages Stingers to Merseyside and had no referee show The teams played a friend ly with the replay last Sunday Games at Cedarvale this Wednesday at and 900 with a Thurday game at Cedarvale at 700 which will round off the round robin games and settle the semi finals Hamilton Steelers voted local player Gary Morrow the 1990 player the year Quiet and unassuming Morrow is that type of player never the spectacular just very steady very solid at the heart of the defense The award was handed out just prior to the Wednesday playoff game with Supra Montreals dour defensive successful team of the year The Steelers were not expected to do well against a team which had only conceded twelve league goals However Justin scored twice to give the home side an advantage for the se cond leg in Montreal Atrocious conditions led to a tractical game Steelers played Supra at their own game and defended stoutly throughout A late goal from sent the into the Eastern division final against Kit chenerToronto emergent win ners A safe goalie in Perry and two steady centre backs in AI Lukic and Morrow will give Steelers a better than even chance against whichever opponent Late season reflections are a way of journalistic life and I much prefer to look forward there is nothing can be done about the past Yet we shuold look to the past for only to learn about the future The World Cup was a disaster in my opinion Soccer is basically a defensive game and more so at the profes sional levels The game begins with each side tied and teams play to preserve that one point At the top pro level the game is no longer a game it is a business and a pro fit is be made where the fran chise is a successful one At the lower levels such as local ly the game can be an attacking game and much belter to watch Better to go down with all colours flying than to give the game away with poor defensive play Here is a thought Let one team start a game with a goal or two lead draw the team out of the hat at centre field before the game Another is to play each game to a finish no ties just as over here in other sports Have the penalty kick shoot out before the game as so meone suggested then we know the winner and at least one team will have to attack I do not believe in making the goals larger maybe take the goalkeeper away That would remove some of the excite ment from the game however See you around THE HERALD Wednesday September 19 1990 Page COMMUNITY SPORTS CALENDAR ATTENTION Ml SPORTS
