Halton HillsThis Week, Saturday; August 1, 1992, Page 11 SPORTS NORTHEND NISSAN S LES, SERVICE 610 Martin St., 878-4137(§ ‘* APPROVED AGENT CHECK NECN TAT The battle-hardened troops of both sides warily - even apprehen- sively — eyed the sodden battlefield that would soon test both their met- tle and their collective courage. The battle cry was raised — echo- ing clarion-clear in the moist air — “Yefoey-argh-antilt-yamotha” — which roughly translated, comes across something like, “Back to the arks, there’s gotta be a better way! Anyone for dominoes?” All kidding aside, it was another wet and threatening morning for - players in the GFFL leaders remain unbeaten Wet weather doesn’t t hamper Longhorns the one with no milk. Such was the case again last Sunday when the Longhorns took on the mediocre M&M crew which was already without it’s number one quarterback, Horace Thomas, out with a fractured collarbone — and his brother, wide receiver Roger, who apparently couldn’t find his way to Georgetown from Toronto without the navigational input of his older sibling. Without Roger-the-younger, M&M cannot offer any serious Flag Football League “last Sunday a Neilsons Field on Sinclair Avenue. Two of the three games went off as scheduled, while a default stirred up some controversy. A lethargic Longhorns herd easi- ly handled M&M by a 22-7 count; Meznic Electric pulled the plug on the New Kids on the Block with a 36-12 jolting and the Dawgs won by default when Plus Welding couldn’t field enough players, despite a lengthy grace period.

But instead of riding roughshod over inferior opposition, the ’Horns instead give the impres- sion of merely going through the motions and doing just enough to get the needed two points for a win. This is great for league diploma- cy, but in the end — when the rough and tumble sudden-death playoff format comes into play — the Longhorns just might once again ‘ind themselves holding on desper- ately to the proverbial hind teat — Info sessions offered People looking to compete in the upcoming Duathlon are invited to take part in a pair of training sessions outlining spe- cific preparations for the compe- The Duathlon will be made up of a five-kilometre run and a 25 kilometre bicycle ride.

When Horace isn’t at the pivot position, the M&M offensive hiber- nates and it’s “bear with us time” until somebody decides “maybe I should catch this thing called a football before time runs out” and the red-shirted crew rallies to make the eventual losing score somewhat Tespectable. Rory Kennedy, who subs for Clark at pivot, has the arm and the smarts to guide the offense — but somebody has to catch the ball. It should have been a cake walk for the "Horns - in fact, it more than resembled a cake sale. Horns had only seven players (the minimum required) to start the game and aside from an opening M&M offensive flurry, the game might best be described as “snor- ing” Mike Hurley scored the early- ame M&M touchdown (with Rick Garden converting) while the reli- able Bob Davey replied for the Longhorns with Paul Allison turn- ing a two-point convert, to allow the eventual winners an 8-7 half- time lead. = Touchdowns by Davey and Allison, in the second half com- bined with a two-point convert catch from Davey ran the string out to 22-7 in Longhorns favor. Jim Lindsay had an interception for Longhorns with John Proudfoot playing turnaround play fair, for M&M. Col DAWGS 7 PLUS - WELDING 0 League rules stipulate a 10- minute grace period when a team cannot field a minimum of seven players at game time — dropped from eight players the previous. year. At the end of the grace period if a team still cannot field the required number of players, the game is forfeited. Sounds simple enough, fairly straight-forward. Not, however, yon merr. munchkins, when a player expect- ing a recorded game, lies tied atop the league scoring stats.

Dawgs — with fangs showing — were rightfully upset, because the pride of the pack, Dave Clements, was challenging for the league’s scoring title. The league rule — if you can’t show, you can’t go — was eventual- ly accepted by all parties and the game went to the Dawgs by default. Unfortunate, in a sense, because Dave Clements is one of the classier guys in the league. MEZNIC 36 —- NEW KIDS 12 Meznic Electric was missing two key mainstays — first string quarter- back Hal Hulme and his brother Howie (who usually plays both ways), who were enjoying some holiday time — leading up to this clash with.New Kids on the Block. An upset could have been in the making, but instead, a thoroughly relaxed — even cocky — Meznic squad took control of the game early and just simply did not allow the New Kids to get any kind of a flow going. Meznic used four different play- ers at the pivot position — Stu and Ron Lunn, Gary Lockwood and Rob Spiteri — and all four were equally effective. Meznic lead by a comfortable 24- 6 margin at the half then outscored the New Kids 12-6 in the second half to wrap up the satisfying 36-12 win. The scoring was spread around as well, with five players scoring touchdowns. John Larose, Ron Lunn, Stu Lunn, Randy Lunn and Jeff Lockwood counted majors for the eventual sinners, Lockwood’s on a 25 yard interception return. Steve Crossman, Gary Lockwood and Rob Spiteri rounded out the Meznic scoring by each adding two-point converts. Gary Lockwood also recorded an interception For the New Kids, Derek Oram and Trevor Elinesky scored touch- downs. Mark MclIntyre and Ryan Mangaross each latched on to an interception for the New Kids. There will be no games this Sunday, because of the holiday weekend, with the league swinging back into action on August 9. 166 SOUTH SERVICE ROAD 1989 HONDA ACCORD EX 5 speed, air conditioning, power windows, and locks.
