20 - The Canadian Champion, Tuesday, July 21, 1998 idme turns and Milton is on the defensive now By STEVE LSBLANO The Champion How quickly the tide can tumn. Just a lew dty s ago thc Jr 13BNlasuî ts werc icorninand(-I their best-ot-seven opening round series and - heading home for ame five -appeared ready to give Six Nations an early exit from league playdowns. Since then attempts to dispose of the defending Founder's Cup champs have failed miserably and although Milton bas home floor advantage for tonight's seventh and deciding contest they're no longer the odds-on favourites. In tact with far less vocal fan support than the Red Rebels- even at Tonelli Arena - and their scoring touch fading fast, the Mavs have actually hecome the underdogs. While Milton's top snipcrs just didn't have the juice to clinch the series Sunday in Ohsweken, at least partial blame for the 14-5 pummeling can be assessed to substandard ottîciating. i a14i WJqiI tuW 4i1I'ME hi From ail yur ind atRkchankonç sChev-Olds SOntaro NOTICE 0F HEARING Niagara Escarpment Proposed Plan Amendment 73 Hleeand James Fisher Part Lot 8, Concession 1 NDS, former Township of Nelson City af Burlington, Regional Municipalty of Halton Amendment 112 proposes: To amend the Minerai Resource Extraction designation in the Niagara Escarpment Plan ta Minor Urban Centre, Escarpment Protection Area and Escarpment Rural At-ca as shown on an excerpt of Niagara Escarpment Plan Map No.3 below.

Russ Fleminng, Ian Park-r anid Pw]a Watk weic arionrrg thousc who telt the brunt ot these attacks - several by Red Rebels' enforcer Jim Martin - almoat aIl of which went unpunished. Mavs' skipper Jim Leworthy accused the Ontario Lacrosse Association (OLA) of allowing his opponents to hand pick the referees for the last two games of the series by complaining of prejudicial officiating. Coach is stearned "Six Nations coach Vince Hill complains that the referees are prejudiced against his playet-s (most of whom at-e Indian) because he knows they won't let his guys get away with aIl the slashing and high sticking they do," explained Leworthy, whosc criticism of McGrath got him ejected Sunday. "So what happens? Vince gets to hand pick the refs fot- the last two games. It'sjust unhelievable." When asked to respond to Leworthy's criticism, McGt-ath had no comment other than to say he wouldn't win any appeal to the OLA. The absence of Graham Darling, still out with a shoulder injury, continued to show tht-ough Sunday as Milton's fit-st line struggled offensively. Regular season scoring sensation Andrew Hartholt was held scot-eless. as was star- sophomot-e Cory Leigh. Ovet-alI timing on shots and passes was off while Six Nations beat theit- guests to neat-ly every loose ball. 'he only thing that kept the scor-e telatively close - until the final framne at least - was spirited defence by third liner-s Jason Ford, Shane McConnell, Kevin Scime and Kaegen Shcrriff.

Andrew Dowdell and Kevin Eansor faced an even bigger onslaught two nights estlier at Tonelli. Abandoned by their team- mates, the goaltcnding tandem were exploited ai ever possible tumn in a crippling 20-7 defeat for Milton. Visiting snipers enjoyed remarkable accuracy and were further fueled by a rich fan base that drowned out Multons followers, who with the exception of one man showed no emorion the entire evening. Six Nations huilt a comfortable 6-0 lead in the opening framc and put the game away long before the second intermission rolled at-ound. The 20 goals against was the most Milton has surrendered this season. A new franchise record for most goals against in a single period, 12, was set in the second. Hat-tt-icks were posted by Kyle Jamieson, Cecil Hill, Trevor Longboat and Roget- Vyse. Scoring fot- Milton wet-e Leigh with two and Ford, Hartholt, Hedley, McConnell and Matt Powlcss with one cach.

Coming up with some exceptional saves to preserve the shutout was goalkeeper Kirsty Goodearle, who enjoyed ample assistance from defenders Kari Beal, Fiona Brawley, Laura Spagnuolo and Shannon Ferris. Rhea Newman, Danielle McNally and Shauna Hasselfeldt dominated midfield play while forward Carmen Smeitink cre- ated a number of quality scoring chances. Also showing strongly were under-16 caîl ups Kourtney Rich, Vanessa Bouskill and Sharalee Dempster, who filled in nice- ly for vacationing regulars. Close, but no cigar A spirited performance paid only mini- mal dividends for the under-12 hoys recently. Despite tumning in their strongest show- ing of the season, the Magic could only stay close to powerhouse Owen Sound in a 4-3 final. A sensational solo effort by Craig Harding gave Milton its first goal while Philip Foley and Daniel Lynch dented the twine as well with a nicely placed kick and header respectively. Guarding the cage at the other end was Jamie Webb, who enjoyed sound defen- sive assistance from Robert Scarbossa, Ryan Taylor and Robbie Wilson. Three nights earlier the Tim Hortons- sponsored crew hit a handful of posts - two more than the number of goals they would sink in a 5-3 lots to the Kitchener B's. Lynch tallied twice and Mark Boycott notched the other. Setting each of themn up was midfiider Kyle Smith. Supporting cast member Kyle Holmes showed strongly in his fit-st appearance.
