The Canadian Champion, Tuesday, Aug. 11, 1998 -19 Forest United proves to be Milton's undoing The Magic under-19 girls couldn't capitalize on a second chance and had to settle for second best recently at the Civic Holiday Soccer Classic in London. A retum engagement with host Forest United brought no more success for Milton, who were outdistanced 3-1 in the championship finals. "We were really tired in the finals, we had no legs," said Magic skipper Bert Zonneveld. "Also, the referee waved off a blatant hand ball by Forest United that should have made it 2-2 midway through the game." Andrea Cooney scored the lone tally while houseleague cal- up Davina Taylor worked the cage. Milton went to sleep early in their initial con- frontation with the tournament hosts and then had to play catch-up - which never came to fruition in a 2-0 defeat. Regrouping through the remainder of round- rohin competition, they humbled North Durham 4-0 and edged Hagersville, Illinois 3-2 to advance to the title match. Sinking the game winner against their American opponents was Cooney, who dented the twine with an acute-angle blast inside the last five minutes of play. Also registering goals in the see-saw battle were Krystle Connerty and Emma Fredriksson. Connerty, Andrea Dafoe, Leslie Hinton and Heather McCullough were the sharpshooters against North Durham. Coach Zonneveld is looking for a new goal- keeper. Anyone interested in guarding the cage for the rest of the season is asked to caîl bim at for the rest of the season is asked to call im at 873-9263. No reward here A spirnted showing didn t quite equal success for the under- 19 boys Wednesday. The Magic beld a distinct edge in play but in the end were trimmed 1-0 by Mississauga in opening round League Cup play. Their southemn opponents beat goalkeeper Jeff McCamey with a looping header in the last 10 minutes of the game. "The whole team played absolutely tremen- dous soccer, some of the best this season," said coach Graham Smith.

Back Une shored up By STEVE LeBLANO The Champion The Milton Merchants are one step clos- er to rebuilding their topnotcb blueline unit with the recent acquisition of two quality defencemen. Joining the ranks are Ryan Camigan and Ken Robins, who according to coach Marty Williamson will furtber add to the team's mobility and depth. "With the loss of Mark McPhail, Shane Sullivan and T.J. Lee our defence won't be quite as strong right away," admitted Williamson. "But if you remember, young Matt Bannan made tretendous improve- ment tbroughout last season and by the end was probably our best defenceman. "If these new guys can develop like that, we're looking at having another great defensive unit corne playoff time."
