"It was our most satisfving gane of the year. We'd actually circled that game (against Burlington) after they beat us," said coach Robert Fabricatore, referring tojuly's 6-1 loss to the Bullets, which came with a shortened bench. Brendan Rorke caused plenty of anxious moments for Burlingtons defence - getting the ball within striking distance numerous times and missing three big scoring chances - but it was Crawford McAlpine who notched the lone goal midway through the second half. He did so off a corner kick, which he chipped in after a favourable deflection. The Magic defence neutralized the Bullets through the balance of the contest and for much of the opening half, with Mario Rico delivering an exceptional effort in the back field. With the victory, Milton finished at 8-6 - good enough for fourth in the Premier ranks. < T S SPORTS EDITOR: STEVE LeBLANC email sleblanc@miltoncanadianchampion.com HARDWARE I4AJL' Kyle Paul proudly displays his trophies after a successful debut in this past week- end's demolition derby at the fall fair See story and related photo on page A22.
