Serving^ 011 Since 192V Corner of Courtice Rd. and Hwy. 2 Sales and Servicing Salesperson of the week Don Andrews RUPA SEEKS NEXT FIGHT -- Professional boxer Nick Rupa is patiently awaiting his next fight. As reported here earlier, he has split from trainer Lou Duva, and has recently been spending time with legendary trainer Angelo Dundee, who guided heavyweight champion Muhammed Ali throughout his career. Nick, 28, hasn't fought since March, but is hoping to have a fight before the month of October closes out. He has returned from Florida where he spent some time training, and is currently back home in Virginia. In 25 professional fights, Nick has only lost three times (to Aaron Davis, Anthony Jones, James McGirt). All of his defeats came at the hands of world title contenders Goodyear Eagles Dodge Bullets with a 9-2 Victory BRING ON THE MOJACKS -- The Bowmanville Eagles are eagerly awaiting their first big test of the year when they entertain the Port Perry MoJacks this Sunday night at the Recreation Complex. It would have been nice if the two teams would have remained undefeated, but that scenario was dashed over the weekend when Port Perry lost to Lakeficld on home ice Sunday night. Still, based on the good sized crowd that was on hand to watch the Bobcaygcon game last week, the stands should be filled for Sunday's rivalry. Game time is 7:30 p.m. BASEBALL BANQUET -- The Clarington girls' slo-pitch league will be holding their annual awards night this evening, beginning at 7:00 p.m. at the Recreation Complex. Awards will be presented to regular season and tournament champions in three different age divisions. With any luck, we'll have some team photos to offer in next week's edition. BASEBALL BANQUET #2 -- The Kendal Eagles players and executive members invite all of their fans to their year-end awards evening and dance that will be taking place in the banquet hall of the Orono Arena this Saturday night. Tickets for the 9:00 p.m. dance can be purchased at the door, or by calling Mike Robinson at 786-2106. GONE FISHIN' -- As a follow up to our mention last week of the calls that have come into the office from anglers who have caught big fish during the fall salmon ran, another message was left on our desk when we arrived bright and early on Monday morning. Somebody out there landed a 20 pounder. We wonder if anyone has caught a bigger one? Dennis Pizzeria Visits Burlington The Dennis Pizzeria minor novice novice Toros entered their first tournament tournament play in Burlington over the Thanksgiving weekend. Prior to the tournament, in a tune-up game on October 5 at Darlington Darlington Arena, the Toros showed the non-slop forechecking and back- checking which has been the trademark trademark of this club so far this season. The Toros managed only 15 shots against a very defence oriented oriented Pickering club, but still came out on top by a score of 4-1. Scoring were Bryan Barchard with two, the first being assisted by Allan McGrath; Corey Oliver, assisted by Rene Cartier; and Allan McGrath, assisted by Stephen Comclisscn. The tournament play in Burlington Burlington featured the closest and most exciting exciting hockey for this team to date. Playing four very physical games in 48 hours took its toll on the boys, who were visibly tired in their semifinal semifinal game against the eventual tournament tournament winners from Erindalc. All players turned in fine perfor mances and showed their character and determination even when faced with unaccustomed rough play. Playing some of their finest hockey of the season were: Andrew Fracz with outstanding defence and puck handling at both ends of the ice; Stephen Comclisscn with solid offence as well as exceptional back checking; Ryan Fowler showing excellent excellent play-making. ability along with a nice scoring touch; Trevor Wadell provided very dependable defence, along with his strong offensive offensive abilities. Scoring was provided by Bryan Barchard with 10 points, Stephen Comclisscn with five, Trevor Wa- dcll, Mike Richardson and Corey Oliver with four, Daniel Michael, 'Ryan Fowler, Chris Trace and Allan McGrath with three, Rene Cartier and Andrew Fracz with two, and Brad Griffin, Chris Gerrits, Jamie Whitehead and Derek VanHcuvelcn with one point each. Congratulations, team, on a fine effort, and we look forward to your nest game. by Brad Kelly It wasn't close, nor was it expected expected to be. The Bowmanville Goodyear Eagles, Eagles, who entered Sunday night's game against the Bobcaygcon Bullets Bullets as the overwhelming favorites to extend their perfect start to the season, did just that. And in a big way. Bowmanville bettered the Bullets by a converted touchdown, racking up a 9-2 victory in a laugher. The victory was the fifth for Bowmanville in as many starts. They have now oulscored their opposition opposition by a 35-16 margin. Curtis Hodgins led the point parade, parade, scoring three times and adding one assist, while defenceman Darryl McArthur had a goal and two assists. assists. The strong game by McArthur couldn't have come at a better time. A representative from the Central Scouting Bureau was in attendance at Sunday's game, watching the progress of McArthur and Jay Cannings. Cannings. Both are 16 years of age, and eligible for this summer's OHL draft. Jercmie Pate added to the offence with a pair of goals, while Chad Taylor, Todd Cannings, and Ryan Becker had one apiece.

Legion Places Three Teams In Top Five of Crib Tourney 1 An Oshawa couple won the annual annual Dude and Doric Hills cribbage tournament at Branch 178 Royal Canadian Canadian Legion on Saturday, Oct. 9th; Bowmanvile teams took the second, third and fifth prizes. Joyce McCrae and Lisa Proctor won top honors. Larry Little and John Broome came second and Theresa Cowle and Don Proctor were third. Fourth place went to Charlotte Thompson and Audrey Stevens of Port Hope. Doreen Park and Marg Perris of Bowmanville were fifth in the 40 team competition. Next year's tournament will be held at the Oshawa Legion branch. Their five goal barrage in the second second period came during a span of just under eight minutes. Bobcaygcon broke the shutout bid of goaltender Jeff Reid when they tallied the final two goals of the third period. Eric Bagshaw and Andy Billings, on the power play, had Bobcaygeon's markers. Outside of a couple of punishing hits by Bobcaygeon's Kevin Reynolds Reynolds (on Jay Cannings), and Billings Billings (on Ryan Becker), the Bullets showed why they have won only seven games in 74 outings the past three years. Their talent base, as in previous years, is very thin. They would be hard-pressed to stay competitive in a high school league. When matched against a club like Bowmanville, who have the potential potential to win a third straight Central League championship, the end result is predictable. The victory could have been by a much wider margin if not for the play of Bobcaygcon goaltender Chad Vandam in the first period. He made a number of fine saves over the first twenty minutes to keep his team close. Mercifully, Vandam was lifted from the game after Hodgins scored Bowmanville's fifth goal of the evening evening midway through the second period. period. Sunday's victory was the second of the weekend for Bowmanville, who garnered an identical 9-2 victory victory in Lakeficld on Friday night. Paul Gagne potted two goals, with singles going to J. Cannings, Brian Anstey, Taylor, Gary Armstrong, Armstrong, Doug Parkin, Steve De- smedt, and Becker.

They close out a busy week by entertaining Percyma on Friday. Last Thursday afternoon, injuries and illness left the team with a depleted depleted lineup, as they suffered a 5-2 defeat to Done van.
