Alliston scored their first goal on a power play but just a min- ute later, Scott Cunningham gave Port Perry their fourth goal on assists by Russ Brown and Kam Cooper. Port Perry went up 5-1 on a goal by Scott Brownson with an assist by Grant Hooker.

Dave Kamminga made it 3-1 when he picked up the puck at his own blue line and went around the whole Trenton team and beat the goalie with a shot from the faceoff.

Pineridge Atoms advance Congratulations are extended to Port Perry's Pineridge Atom B team on their convincing victory in Alliston on Satur- day, that clinched a spot for our boys in the Provincial Semi- Finals. The win completed a three game sweep for Pineridge. The series opened. in Alliston a week earlier with a 6-2 win for Pineridge. : Game two, held in Port Perry took on a similar tone as Pine- ridge again showed their superiority by turning Alliston away 6-3. Saturday was do or die for Alliston and to their credit they certainly never gave up. Co Alliston opened the score very early in period one, but the tone was set quickly when Matt Skerratt rifled a beautiful wrist shot high to the blocker side of the Alliston netminder just two minutes after Alliston had taken the early lead. As- sists on Matt's goal went to Dylan Harper and Jeff Simpson who picked up his first assist of three on the day. Following our first marker, Pineridge exploded for three more goals before the first period ended. Glenn Thompson took a pass at the side of thenet and beat the goaltender on the short side just moments after Matt's opener. Simpson and Skeratt assisted on the second goal. Our third strike came from Spencer Churchill assisted by Wes Laingmaid and Mike Thompson. Before the period ended Gerrard Timmers had put the game out of reach for Alliston, assisted by T. J. Robins. In the second period Alliston continued to work hard and it fi- nally paid off with a goal that put them back in the game brief- ly. Their comeback was cut off abruptly when Spencer Church- 'ill notched his second of the game assisted by Derek Bond. That goal put Pineridge ahead 5-21ate in the second period. Before the period was over Matt Skerratt scored his second of the day putting Pineridge up 6-2. Assists went to Jeff Simpson and Glenn Thompson. Third period action saw Alliston test goalie Shane Fisher on several occasions but Shane had decided it was time to "close the door." Shane was called on numerous times to make some quality saves. Our defense made up of Mike Wiseman, Derek Bond, Mike Thompson, Dylan Harper, Garrett Brown and Ger- rard Timmers should be given a great deal of credit for the sweep against Alliston. They work hard every shift, constant] y clearing the front of our net and make very few mistakes. The consistent effort from forwards Mike Milligan, Joey Schembri and David Halward continues to create many scor- ing opportunities for our boys. It was a pleasure to watch this series. Coaches Paul Milligan, Randy Wiseman and Steve Churchill have these boys playing as a unit. It is exciting to watch.
