____ SPORTS THE OAKVILLE BEAVER West Side bags bronze The Oakvilleâ€"based West Side juvenile volleyball team brought back a bronze medal from the Canadian national champiâ€" ‘onships in Saskatoon on the weekend, after missing a shot at gold by the slimmest of margins. The team, which last month won allâ€"Ontario honors, had put together an impressive roll winâ€" ning all five of their preliminary pool games (best of three affairs), and in the processâ€" dropping only one game (to Newfoundland). That gave the West Side team a bye into the semiâ€"finals against the British Columbia team they had swept in the preliminary round. But the west coast team had improved with each game and in their quarterfinal match needed only four games to beat Manitoba in the the bestâ€"ofâ€"five â€"match. West Side got off to a good start, building up a 2â€"1 lead but couldn‘t put B.C. away. "We let the fourth game slip away," said club official Regg Miller. "And in the fifth game," he said, repeating a wellâ€"worn phrase, "anything can happen." And, as it turns out, anything did happen. The upstart B.C. club went on to eke out a 15â€"13 victory in the decisive fifth game and then went on to make short work of the Alberta team, winning three straight in just over an hour for the Canadian national championship. Oakville‘s John Alexiou, Dan Lewis and Vijay Vyas helped West Side pick up a bronze medal. West Side mopped up by defeating Saskatchewan in four games for the bronze medal. Oakville‘s Dan Lewis (T.A. Blakelock) was voted to the allâ€" star team. Other Oakville residents on the team, which attracts players from Halton and Peel regions, are Vijay Vyas (White Oaks Secondary School) and John Alexiou (Hamilton‘s Hillfield Strathallen). Storied Oakville club will hold open house Saturday One of Oakville‘s most successful sports clubs is showing off its new digs this Saturday.

It will provide a great chance for families to come down and see whether the kids â€" or the adults, for that matter â€" might be interested in a summer of competitive canoe or kayak racâ€" ing.
