The fun, experimenting and decision-making are over. The time to get serious begins begins Friday, in Uxbridge, when the regular season kicks off. The lack of importance attached attached to Monday night's game in Cobourg was obvious. obvious. The Eagles lost, and nobody nobody was visibly upset or worried. Five of those seven came in the last four minutes. Two of them were in the last 33 seconds. The Eagles' second goal of the game, scored on a backhand by Dennis, came on the power play. With the pre-season out of the way, the Eagles can now concentrate on putting together together a solid regular season. With all of the final cuts made, the roster that was dressed for Monday's game will be the same one that opens the regular season. And that suits Noonan just fine. "The thing I like about it (the team) is they get along real well and it's a good nucleus. nucleus. We seem to have good spirit. They stick up for each other and that's going to be important down the road. "By the time we start working on our power play and special teams, I think we'll be all right."

After opening the season with a pair of losses to Uxbridge, the Eagles had won a pair of games from Port Perry, and another from the Cougars. Monday's loss halted their three-game winning streak. The loss was a team effort, as coach Noonan chose to employ four lines throughout the game, giving everybody > an equal opportunity to play in the final tune-up before the regular season. But the four-line format he . has used up to this point, will change starting Friday in Uxbridge.

Leo made some sparkling saves and will undoubtedly return to his former former brilliance in the near future. future. Leo had no chance on the opening goal as Dave Roote sent Bob Sheridan in alone with a perfect pass. Jim Hutchison Hutchison lost the handle on a bouncing puck at the blue line which Sheridan picked up and handed to Rick Rademacher. Rick stormed in and drove the puck under Leo in the goalmouth. goalmouth. Busters then scored three quick goals. The first came on a George Sainsbury blast from Tony Jones and Sandy MacDonald.

Ron Henry got the puck to Phil Fox who sent George Sainsbury in alone on the left wing. George put a blast in on Art's short side and Busters went ahead 7-6. In the dying moments of this exciting contest, Rick Rademacher Rademacher dug the puck out of the comer and found Bob Sher idan in the goalmouth. Bob was fortunate to pick this puck up in a crowd and drive it under under Leo to gain the tie. Our defense corps of Hugh German, Warren Townslcy, Ron Clemens and Bob Hellam put in a solid effort. Our next game is again with Busters at 8:00 p.m., Friday night in Bowmanville arena.

The quantity of the traditional preseason preseason haircuts will far outweigh the quality. The Eagles will open the regular season in Uxbridge Uxbridge this Friday night with 12 players who will be in their first year with the club. That's something something almost unheard of at the junior level. It's almost as many new faces as we'll see on town council following November's election. Sharpen the shears. That's a lot of changes to a team that came within within one goal of winning the league championship a year ago. Time will tell if the overhaul was for the better. And time is something that it may take before anyone can get a gauge on how good this team is. "I think we'll be a little stronger than you think right off the bat," said manager Mike Laing, also a new face in the Eagles' fold. "It will take 3-4 weeks for everyone to get used to playing with each other. We might not win the league, but we'll be up there. "The veterans have come up to me and said this is a stronger team than last year's." Where this team appears to be stronger is in its depth. It was a lack of depth that cost the Eagles in the playoffs last year. This became apparent in their seven-game league final series against Uxbridge. They're strong up front. Veterans Shane Armstrong, Armstrong, Nick Dennis and Rob Real will be relied upon heavily to make major contributions. Especially Especially Armstrong. Offensively, he has an opportunity opportunity to be the dominant player in the league. The only question mark the club has is on the blueline. Inexperience may be a problem. Four of the rearguards are untested. Once you get past veterans Dean Baumhauer and Drew Allenby, none of the others has proven himself at this level. But, as suspect as their defence is, Laing points out that it isn't a defenceman they will be keeping their eyes open for should they add another player to their roster. "We're not actively looking. If a good right winger winger or centreman comes up, we might take him. "But these kids have been here a while and we don't want to let any of them go to bring somebody else in. We've got a solid team that is getting along, and I don't want to have a revolving door." Where will they finish? Well, Uxbridge looks strong again, and it appears Port Perry may struggle. struggle. Cobourg is much improved, and we've yet to see Lakefield and Little Britain. There would be no shame in finishing second to Uxbridge. Anything less than third would be a disappointment. disappointment. Newcastle Ladies Slow Pitch ANNUAL MEETING October 3 7:00 p.m. Court Room 1, Church St. Bowmanville, Ont. Little Brother Corner...
