EY PORT PERRY x STAR x SPORTS Mustangs Win Consolation Trophy In Bowmanville Midget Tournament Cy's Mustangs were invit. ed to attend a Midget tour- nament held at Bowmanville Arena Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 21 & 22 and came home winners of the Consolation Trophy. This was quite a feather in their caps as every other team entered was an "A" team or better. Cy's Guys got off to a slow start and lost their first game to a strong Orillia team 6-2. This eliminated them from the Championship Play- downs and put them in the consolation group. In the first consolation round they .met Peterboro who got off to a quick start by scoring two goals. The score remained that way un- til the start of the third period. Shortly after it got underway Glen Sweetman scored for Mustangs to get them started... Then Rick _ Trotter scored to tie the game. A tie was no good to the local lads as the tour- nament rules stated the team which scored the first goal in the game would be the winners if a tie occurred. Grant McLaughlin scored to put Mustangs ahead 38-2 but Peterboro came back to score and knot the game again. Near the end of the period Danny McCartney scored 'what proved to be the win- ner. 'It was an exciting and cleanly played game. Peter- boro got a breakaway with five seconds left in the game but 'Dave Gray made no mistake and saved the day for Mustangs, This-set the stage for the Consolation Final game Sun- day between Port Hope and Cy's Mustangs. ' Cy's Guys started right from the opening face off and weren't to be denied. Paul Heard led the way by scoring a pair of goals to give Mustangs a two goal lead. Port Hope scored just after the second period start- ed to narrow the score to 2-1. It remained. that way until mid way in the third period when Ken Irvine got a break- away and scored to make it 3-1 for Port. Port Hope put on the pressure but once again Dave Gray had all the answers and kicked out shot after shot. A face-off was Port Perry H.S. Win One Lose One Port Perry had as their op- ponents Markham in the 1st game, defeating them 55 to 50. Even though Markham had a tremendous advantage in height, Port Perry was able to overcome this disad- | vantage by sheer determina- tion and hustle. The high scorer was Bill Taylor with 14 points but the victory was brought about by a com- plete team effort. . Two hours later it was Port Perry vs. Base Borden who again had a great height advantage. Port Perry play- ed its best game of the sea- son but unfortunately, so did Base Borden. The: score be- ing 84 to 72 for Base Borden. High scorer in this .game was Gord Williamson with a fantastic output of 37 points. called tosthe left of the Port Hope net and Ken Irvine got the draw over to Grant Mc- Laughlin, who put it in the net for the final goal. I'll have to apologize to the boys for not getting the names of the players who assisted on the goals but the excitement of the tourna- ment got to me and I failed to note them. Port Perry fans can be proud of the midgets and those that attended at Bow- manville were well rewarded. Cy's Mustangs play Mark- ham at Markham on Monday Dec. 30th and then Markham visits Mustangs on January 7th. VR Dep.-Dist.
