The bantams played in Cannington on January l3th, and handed their opposition an 8-0 loss. This past Friday, Haliburton rolled into Orono and out bus- tled our boys delivering us a 5- 3 loss.

This time the roles were reversed as Orono defeated the 'Fails' 4-1.

McManus added a goal of bis own, assist- ed by Leddy and Reid thïs time. Orono held the lead until the last minute of the game despite every effort by the referee and linesmen to end the game early. Oshawa pulled their goalie in favour of an extra attacker and managed to squeeze the puck past Orono's goalie Scott Poole.

The first from Greg Shetler, assisted by Jef Thompson and the second from Craig McManus, assisted by Robinson and Adam Tollett. Haliburton scored at the five minute mark but, Orono replied with another quick goal from Thompson, assisted by Bouley and Leddy. Haliburton man- aged one more power play goal before the period ended then took control of the third, scor- ing two unanswered goals and an empty-netter in the Iast sec- ond of the game. Family Auto over rivais 'Fenelon Falls 4-1 You could cut the tension with a knife when Orono took to the ice in Fenelon Falls Sunday night. These teamis, bound to be playoff rivais, pro- vided us with a most entertain- ing gamne. Orono gained confi- dence by out-playing their opponients despite the absence of enforcer Bob Witheridge (serving the first gamne of a three-gamre suspension). Orono took a two goal first period lead with goals fromi Ryan Leddy, assisted by Parry and Tollett and from Andrew Beacock assisted by Shetler. Second period shots were even at eight but Fenelon Falls counted the only goal, a point shot that just fooled net minder Scott Poole, Orono regained control in the third with a goal from Tyler Robinson, assisted by Shetier and Thompson. Orono's Jeff Thompson insured the win with an empty net goal late in the gaine assisted by Tollett and Robinson. Our thoughts will be Rob Thomnpson who left the ice early after re-injuring bis previ- ously broken collar bonie. Famnily Auto's next home gamne is January 21 against Sunderland followed by a tour- nament this weekend in Brighton. O.M.H.A.
