PORT RQ PERRY TAR By Wayne Venning The Port Perry Flamingo Pastries Juniors will meet the first place Cobourg Cougars in the Central Ontario Junior "C" Hockey League's semi-final series. The best of seven' series opened in Cobourg last Monday night and the second game of the series is slated for the local arena on Sunday, February 15th. The entire Flamingo team, coaches, fans and exe- cutive are quite optimistic that the Club can "upset" the strong Cobourg team. The two teams split last weekends regular scheduled games and both clubs ap- peared to be evenly matched. If the Flamingos hope. to win the series, they must continue the hard skating: and hitting which results in many scoring opportunities. The return of Doug Christie to his shooting and scoring of the last couple of games is another big plus for the local club, and team- ed with centrem:a Bernie | sports sworrs| Jack Cook Jr. The Lindsay "Muskies" will meet the Bowmanville "Red Eagles" in a best of five quarter-round series; while the third place Stouffville "Clippers" will play the sixth place Frankford 'Huskies' in another best of five series. Predictions for the playoff series should go as follows: - Lindsay who always come up strong in the playoffs should have little trouble with the slumping "Red Eagles" and should elimin- - ate them in four games. The Stouffville "Clippers" will have some problems with the Frankford Club and will take five games to be a winner; and to go 'out on the limb", I predict the Flamingos in six over the "Cougars". Cobourg *'Cougars" have-a-- complete monopoly on- the league awards this schedule as the Club won the trophy for winning the league, While Randy Fife was the leading scorer, and brother Rick Fife had the best goals against average. The annual meeting of the Port Perry and District Minor Softball Assoc. was held on Sunday. Election of officers took place and the following were installed for 1976: President Jack Cook Jr., Vice Presi- dent Ron Bryant, Secretary Don Hurst, Treasurer Jack Cook Jr., Directors Jim Richards, Ron Redman, Don Card, George Allison, Frank Fielding and Walt Sandison. It is expected that leagues will be formed in Tyke (5-7 yrs.), Atom (7-9 yrs.) and Squirt (9-11 yrs.). Paul Solomon has been named convenor of the tyke league which will be the "T"' ball series as held the past season. Jim Richards was named convenor of the atom series which will be a new type of series to be called "Three Pitch". ' This series will see pitch- ers used with the batter -having only three chances to hit the ball. As this is a new venture, rules and regula- tions will be finalized as the league is set-up and begins play.

The defense must play tight hockey and try to con- tain. the league's leading scorer, Randy Fife, but the team does appear to have an edge in the goaltending, as both Wayne Cordingly and Ken Davidson have played Hopesarehighamong Flamingos well all season long. This could be a rough series- as Cobourg likes to use body contact to slow down the opposition but the young Flamingos won't be intimidated -and have a couple of players who won't back away from a "scrap". It is hoped all the Flamin- go fans will turn out for the playoff games and give their vocal support to the Club, which makes a great differ- ence in a close hard-hitting series. local softball president centres are interested in this new seriés. Ages 7-9 years. It is hoped the squirt league will also be set up at a later date with teams from Nestleton, Burketon, Sea- grave, Raglan and Port Perry.
