road and no traffic is allowed on Main Street today Sorry I looked at Barry and we both sort of shrugged For sure Main Street in Port Perry wasnt exactly a hub of activity on this day Apart from a small group of people gathered around a cou ple of trucks further up the road the place looked abandoned Ive seen more hectic happenings in the and cow pastures in themght in December Now thats weird Barry grumbled You just pulled off a perfect parallel park much to my surprise may I add Aw its not too hard when theres nobody else around I inter jected a little confused myself Anyway my point is if I may make my point perfectly clear sir Barry continued in his own inimitable fashion the point is do these people want our tourist dollars or not I mean we travell ed all this way in the middle of our busy day might I add to- donate to the neardepleted coffers of their sportfishing industry and it looks like they dont want our money Relax Barry I said look at that sparkling water man Lake Scugog home of walleye bass and of course the mighty muskie So relax theres a coffee shop around the corner and there was too my- memory hadnt failed me it was a neat little place that greeted us with

set up by hustle from Taysha Brankiewicz and Joanna Miller Andrea scored a great goal on a breakaway to leave the score at 21 for Georgetown at the Hoosiers humbled The Halton Hills Firestone ruined an otherwise fine effort with one bad inning and allowed Burlington to avenge their Sunday loss by besting the Hoosiers 73 Burlington scored four unearned runs in the fifth inn ing to seal the victory Burlington had built up a lead over the first four inning But Firestone got things rolling in their half of the fourth Shannon Morris led off with a sharplyhit single throughout the hole between third

game slammed the ball into the back of the net her second to give Georgetown the win A great effort by the whole team against one of the best teams in On tario The second game against Lon don saw a different slow lethargic Georgetown team lose Little and only occasional in dividual efforts allowed London to score on identical shots that just dropped under the cross bar Goalie who was playing extremely well didnt have a chance on either The third game on this very hot and humid day pitted Georgetown against mighty Burlington Georgetown led 10 on a quickly released ball by Joanna Miller set up by a hardworking Melanie Booth However Burlington tied the game at when the hesitant Georgetown mSdfield and defence allowed a great shot from Burl ingtons striker Luck was on Georgetowns side as a Burlington penalty shot hit the goal post With four points on the day Georgetown met West Rouge on Sunday in the semifinals In a very exciting contest with two extremely wellbalanced teams the difference was on an opportunistic goal by Joanna Milter who raced down the left wing released a leftfooted shot that the Scarborough goalie should have had However the goalie slip ped on the dry grass and watched helplessly as the ball rolled across the goal line Georgetown hung on for a 10 win and a trip to the finals At 3 pm in the stifling heat a full minute final had Georgetown against
