While winning any of those awards is not particularly new to the crew of * Comfort, or a number of other Oakville crews, winning five of them in one year is certainly a rare feat. The accomplishment made them top contenders for LYRA‘s boat of the year which will be named this fall. The last two winners â€" Tapestry and Step On It â€" have also been from the Oakville Yacht Squadron. Other club boats also ‘did: well at the â€" nat member . cessful ju program, twoâ€"perso One g1 yearâ€"old ionall i < 3 6T ‘z1 isngny ‘Aept In two races â€" a 120â€"mile overnight race and a 30â€"mile day race â€" the boat placed first in its division, first overall (times are handicapped) and had the best elapsed time in one of them. Among the top performers has been the crew of Tor Johansson‘s Comfort which recently won an unprecedented five firstâ€"place awards at the recent Lake Yacht Racing Association (LYRA) regatâ€" ta in Toronto. The Oakville Yacht Squadron has had an outstanding racing season so far on the lake, and they‘ll be proudly showing off some of their hardware at an open house this weekend. Sudbury, who downed the Longhorns 30â€"9 in the 1992 NFC final, finished the regular season in second place with a record of six wins and four losses. The Longhorns came out on top in both regular season clashes with Sudbury winning 21â€"10 on the road and 43â€"22 at home. Oakville posted a 10â€"0 regular season record and began the season with a 22â€"0 exhibition victory over the visiting Buffalo Lancers semiâ€"pro football team. Football Ontario, the sport‘s provincial governâ€" ing body, ruled on Saturday morning that the league had properly suspended the player and the league‘s action was justified. The league may take further action against the Scarborough Club following the conclusion of the 1994 season. The Crimson Tide were contenders again in 1994 until their club ran afoul of league officials by playing a suspended player in two consecutive games and defaulting their final game of the reguâ€" lar season. The Hormms are the defending provincial chamâ€" pions, having defeated the Scarborough Crimson Tide last August. Kickâ€"off is at 7 p.m. at Bronte Athletic Field, located on Lakeshore Road West, several blocks east of Bronte Road. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for students and $1 for children and seniors. Fittingly, Oakville‘s opponent, by virtue of their 48â€"27 victory over North Bay in last weekâ€" end‘s other semiâ€"final game, will be the Sudbury Spartans, who finished second â€" albeit, a distant second â€" in the regular season. An overpowering 71â€"0 semiâ€"final tuneâ€"up over the Brampton Bears last weekend ensured Oakville as the site for this year‘s championship, emblematic of senior football supremacy in Ontario. Only one game stands between the Oakville Longhorns and both a perfect season and a second consecutive Northern Football Conference chamâ€" pionship.
