f fi The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. August 10, 1988 [ sport-talk FLASHBACK -- 25 Years Ago --Little did Ken Sumersford realize that when he agreed to enter the mixed golf tournmant at Southview on Saturday, he would play in a ladies skirt and blouse. Seems there was a shortage of ladies, as Ken, along with several other men, filled in for the females, attired in outfits of the opposite sex. FLASHBACK --10 Years Ago -- In the Tuesday afternoon afternoon ladies curling league at Bowmanville Curling Club, the winning teams of Diane Dion, Marg Geis- berger, Nancy McMaster, Lorraine Lever, Barbara Henderson, Dorothy Kohlsmith and Martha Hogarth were presented with the President's trophy, the Bank of Montreal trophy, and the Ken Nicks trophy. BASEBALL - In the early days of August, the baseball season is still going strong, but there are indications that the overall winners will soon be designated. The Cowan Pontiac, L & L Tool Juniors ran into problems recently when they found themselves short of players for an encounter with Little Britain and had to forfeit the game. They did better in their series with Belleville, wiping them out of further action here on Sunday 7-4. They are now waiting to play Ajax in the next round, probably starting this Sunday at Soper Creek, although it is not definite. The Midgets will meet Port Hope here, starting Saturday, according to our information. SLO-PITCH TOURNEY - On Saturday, the two diamonds diamonds at Memorial Park were busy with a slo-pitch tournament involving a number of church league teams from the area. In the end it was Trinity Oshawa, playing Rehoboth, Bowmanville for the championship and sad to say, the Bowmanville squad were perfect hosts and allowed the visitors to take home the winning winning trophy or whatever was awarded to the champs. From all reports, the event was exciting and successful. successful. MORE PRAISE - As our editorial and sports staff is somewhat depleted this week because of holidays, everybody else is helping fill the various columns to keep readers informed. We think a bit more praise is due those who were involved in that Tyke championship championship round recently that ran into problems when the heavy rains forced postponement. Memorial Park Tykes didn't win it all, but did play well and came close, which was most gratifying to those in charge, such as President Terry Donohue, Manager Mike McCarthy, Coaches Wayne Farrington, Maurice Landry and George Michelson. No doubt these chaps are still recovering recovering from blisters received when they had to put a great deal of raking into restoring water soaked diamonds. diamonds. WHAT A SHOW - The Bowmanville Optimist Club has to be overjoyed with the results of the second Show and Shine car show on Sunday afternoon. They packed 120 cars and drivers into the south end park at Enniskillen Enniskillen Conservation Area and had to turn away about 30 more because there was no more room. The weather was perfect and a great crowd of interested spectators enjoyed inspecting the handiwork of some excellent, dedicated crafts persons who have devoted many hours to glamorizing their vehicles. There certainly were some amazing ones in the show. A list of the winners should appear in another story, if all goes well. WIN A BYE - On Sunday, we learned that the senior Kendal Eagles managed to get a bye in the first round of playoffs. We had hoped they might be playing, but the diamond had just been used for a three hour prac- | tice by the team to keep in shape. They expect to be in - action this coming weekend against the winners in the Markham-Ajax series now well under way. With some luck, therè should be a game in Kendal starting at 1 p.m. Sunday. We may have more information before press time Wednesday.

Ruthard After a rather flat performance performance in their weekend tournament in Brampton, where they couldn't quite match their output on the soccer field with their skill and dedication on the golf course and had to be satisfied satisfied with a rather disappointing disappointing third place round- robin finish, the Cowan Pontiac Pontiac Junior Soccer Team rebounded rebounded with a convincing 4:0 decision in their favour in their August 2nd encounter with Malvern. Even though the Scarborough Scarborough club started the game shorthanded, they were quite successful in preventing preventing the relentlessly forward pushing Darlington Squad from getting on the score- board, due to some hard work and an outstanding goalkeeping performance. Finally, in the 29th minute, after a number of missed chances, Carmine Cupelli put the home side up 1:0 following following a low goal-mouth cross by Dayne Lycett and an initial attempt at scoring by Ken Davies and Brad Rickard. From here on in the red shirts took complete charge of the game, restricting their opponents to only the occasional occasional counterattack and creating numerous chances in front of the Malvern keeper, keeper, one of which was initiated initiated by Stephen Mills with a perfect cross from left wing and finished off with a spectacular spectacular diving header by Derek Veiling, who missed only by inches. But, in the 41st minute Carmine Cupelli struck again for his second goal of the night with a well placed shot into the far corner, corner, after a quick sprint into a defence-splitting pass by Kevin Mills. The second half developed developed much in the same pattern pattern as the first 45 minutes and it seemed only a matter of time, before the home team would score again. It finally finally happened in the 67th minute when Mike Peel regained regained possession of the ball near his own penalty area and started a quick passing play via Lonny Gibson and George Bryant to Derek Veiling, Veiling, who not only fooled his Activity Guide Lists Events And Programs For Season The Town of Newcastle Fall/Winter 1988-89 Activity Guide has just come out.
