i ui 5 -- SCUGOG CITIZEN SPORT SHORTS Legion Pee Wees 'The Legion Pee Wees were able to split their two games over the weekend, dropping a close one on Friday night 2-1 to Port Hope and winning a close one Sunday in Stouffville 5-4. Fridays game was not one of our better ones, but thanks to excellent goaltending by Luke Carnaghan 'and Kent Johnston, and poor eye sight on the part of Port Hope shooters, we managed to keep it close. Our only goal was from Scott Jeffrey with an assist to Jay Strickert, just 11:21 into the game. A tough practise by management on Saturday night brought about a little different team on Sunday. Stouffville counted first but half way through the first period, Scott Jeffrey and Seth Gray set up Danny Lyons who was cruising in and blasted it home. Stouffville responded twice, and Mike Morden dug it out of the corner to Danny Robinson who tipped it in. Port did the only scoring in the second when Shane Norton took a pass from Scott Jeffrey and 'a hard wrist shot put it away. We held on until half way though the third when Stouffville went ahead ain. Rob Murphy then broke away in the left wing, dodged one defenseman and then deked the goalie for the tie. With 1:46 left, Scott and Shane worked very hard to dig the puck out in front where Danny Robinson was standing and tucked it in. Port tried on numerous occasions to get power play goals but they were not there. A big help was cutting down on the penalties on Sunday compared to Pri day. Both Luke and Kent came up with big plays to keep the gang close in these games. oSontry Style Donut - Bantam "The Country Style Donut Bantam #1 team met Peterborough on home ice November 2. this was the second match with this team so Port knew what to expect. The first period started off well. Port looked strong, skating with the competition and getting some good shots on the net but Peterborough's goalie is "BIG™! Peterborough finally scored late in the first period to make the scare 1-0. As the clock ticked away, Port had lots of shots but no luck around (or in) the net. Penalties were a problem for both teams and everyone was pleased to hear that last buzzer sound. Final score was Peterborough 3, Port 0. This was definitely an improvement fro, r first meeting.

On Sunday, November 8, the Bantam #1 team travelled to Lindsay for a 8:15 p.m, start. This was a close match all the way with both goalies playing extremely well stopping numerous shots from all angles. The first period remained scoreless Craig Laird took his time in front of the net, lined up the shet and tossed the puck up in the corner much to the dismay of the Lindsay goalie. The assists on this one went'to Chris Drury and Tom Chambers. Not to \be outdone, Lindsay tied it up only' a few minutes later with a hard shot to the corner. This seemed fitting for two teams so evenly matched. The players worked hard in the third period but try as they might, not another goal could they beg, borrow, steal or buy! Fortunately for us, neither could Lindsay as Brian Bickmore stood firm in our net and handled every attempt with ease. Final score, one for Port and one for Lindsay.
