Don't trust just anyone to insure your car, see me: Hal Mayer 2861 Sherwood Heirfns Dc 829-5200 IVs seventh heaven fo r th e 'Hom s Dana Segin's third field goal, from 15 yards, with eight sec­ onds remaining lifted the Oakville Longhorns to a 15-13 win over the Markham Raiders in the Northern Football Conference (NFC) playoff championship Saturday at Ivor Wynne Stadium in Hamilton. It was the 'Horns seventh consecutive playoff championship in the NFC, which is the last bastion of adult, amateur tackle football in Canada. "I think our defence won it," said team president Steve Harrington, a Burlington resident with an Oakville law practice. The team actually didn't play a game in Oakville this past sea­ son, but Harrington assured they'll be back next year at their usual home field, Bronte Field. The field was unavailable this year, he explained, because this past season's schedule was firmed up later than usual in an unsuccessful bid to help the Peterborough franchise field a team. Next year, he said, the league schedule will be released early enough for the 'Horns to secure the well-used Bronte field. The league fielded four teams this year, and for the eighth straight year the 'Homs finished in first place. The league was really two tiered this year with Markham the only team able to threaten the 'Homs dominance. In fact, the 'Homs and Markham each won all their games against the remaining two teams in the league, Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury. In their three games against each other, the 'Homs won the first two against Markham 21-12 and 21-6.
