This Cobourg team was a very agressive, hard-hitting unit, which gave Port Perry their first serious challenge of the season. Cobourg scored their first goal half-way through the first period with good forechecking, while Port's defence struggled to clear the crease. Later in the period, with two minutes to go, Duane Empr- ingham beat the goalie, but rang the puck off*the goal post. The Legionaires had a power-play in the last minute of this period, but were unable to capitalize due to a very good defence. In the second period Cobourg scored again.

The third period saw Port Perry come out with renewed vigour and a definite desire to win this game. Dave Pashley was un- fortunate to miss an open net on his backhand shot. There was some wild end to end action, with lots of chances for both teams. Port Perry's lone goal came on a tip-in by Sean McEnaney, from a bullet drive from the blue line by Corey Bricknell. This came after two in- credible saves by the Cobourg goalie. Indeed this game was a battle of the goal tenders. 3-1 LOSS Sunday, November 6, saw Port Perry travelling to Port Hope for their first away engagement. Un- fortunately they came back as losers in a 3-1 match. In a penalty filled game this looked like a different team to the one that played on Friday. The first Port Hope goal, a solo rush, came from a deflection while Port Perry was pressing hard with several shots that tested the Port Hope goalie. Four minutes later the Legionaires got on the board when Jeff Andrews drilled a shot from the blue line, assisted by Lindsay Parry. Only sparkling play by the Port Hope goalie kept them alive in this period. Just into the second period Port Hope scored on a sharp angled ~ shot that beat Jason Kane. Good play was displayed by Joe Broad- worth and Duane Empringham, buzzing about the opposition crease. In the third period, without benefit of rest or a flood, Port Perry came alive -- checking harder and battling for the puck. Dave Pashley seemed to spark these boys, after returning from a collision earlier in the game. Rick Hutchinson stopped one breakaway, but Port Hope scored on a second one. Later Gavin Cochrane had a goal disallowed, but Port Perry kept on the attack, with lots of near misses.
