Halton Hills This Week, Satutday, January 30, 1993 — Page 17 : 'NORTHEND OEE SALES SERVICE LEASING HWY. #25 A & 401 878-4137 MILTON Raiders snap wi ‘The streak is over. The Georgetown Chrysler Raiders halted their dubious 35- game winless streak with a bang Wedifesday night, hammering the Royal York Rangers 7-2. The vic- tory is the first for the Raiders since opening the season with three straight wins.

The win still leaves Georgetown in the Central Ontario Junior Hockey League basement with 12 points and a 5-33-1 record (the extra point came the result of an overtime loss last week to Caledon), but there is light at the end of the tunnel in the Raiders’ drive to climb out of the cellar and into the playoffs. Seventh-place Royal York is only four points ahead of Georgetown. The top seven teams in the divi- sion advance to post-season play, with the first-place finisher getting a first-round bye. The opening playoff found (which will have sec- ond meeting seventh, third taking on sixth and fourth playing fifth) will be a best-of-five affair. However to advance to the play- offs the Raiders must finish ahead of Royal York. Should the two teams finish tied, the Rangers get the nod based on having a better head-to-head record. Georgetown and Royal York will meet one more time this season. ‘The contest was a physical one, with referee Peter Falston blowing the whistle on 45 penalties. “J can’t tell you how proud I was of the guys,”’ said Raider general manager Finn Poulstrup. “Royal York saw that we only had 17 guys ‘on the bench and figured they were going to play it tough. “Well, our guys played it tough care?” \d smart. Ironically, the win didn’t halt coach Gary Ford’s personal 14- game winless streak (0-13-1). Ford, who took over the Raiders after coach Charlie Hanman and assis- tant coach Bert Osborne felt the club needed a coaching change and both stepped down, was away on a business convention. Assistant coach Jay Anderson was behind the nless ways bench for the long-awaited victory. Ford is expected to be back guiding the Raiders’ troops this weekend. As impressive as the victory was, the manner in which the Raiders took the two points was more the story. Georgetown took a 4-2 advantage into the third period and outscored the home side 3-0 for the final goal tally. Throughout the sea- son, the Raiders’ Achilles Heel has been the one bad period, with the letdowns resulting in opponents recording four-, five-, sometimes six-goal frames en route to seem- ingly one-sided decisions. “In the third period our guys went out and wanted to push hard because we have to face them once more and we wanted to send them a message,” Poulstrup said. “Tf the players can continue to play like this, there isn’t a team in the league they can’t beat.”” Once again goaltender Jason Sirota was tested and once again he met the challenge, turning aside 48 shots. However this time his team- own. Continued on page 18 Mother Nature isn’t hampering local soccer-playing enthusiasts Ruth D. Taylor Athletes who love to run in a soc- cer game are not thwarted by the snow of Canadian winters. They adapt the game to indoor house rules and play soccer in a gym. The indoor soccer season for Girls under 13 started with several exhi- bition games this past Saturday, January 23, 1993. Playing in the Acton high school gym which has bleachers for supporters, the first game saw the Gold and the Red teams well matched for a final 0-0 score. The sounds were thud, thud, thud as the softer indoor soccer ball bounced off the walls and basket- ball nets. This led to several good headers by both teams and a few “line drives” the length of the gym by Jaimie Ellis and Branwyn Williams with well placed kicks sd from out of bounds. The balls have to be well controlled because of the gym size. The Blue and Purple teams faced off and Angie van Egmond scored for the Purples with a fast goal from around a corner in the first few minutes. The Blue team played hard and fast and scored three more goals kicked in by Carolyn MacNeal, Katie Morris and Becky Leferink. Carolyn had a potential goal spinning and bouncing in front of the Purple goalie as the whistle blew to end the game with a score of 3-1 for the Blue team. Indoor Continued on page 18 GRIPS - Part!
