That's because World Wrestling Federation (WWF) promoters overextended themselves creatively this past weekend, booking four shows in two days.

Kris Beal provided the beroics as he popped in the game-winner with under two minutes remaining. The goal was deiivered on a fierce drive to the net. Rearguards Bryan Gent, Jeremy Robert and Chad Merritt worked an effective trap in front of goalkeeper Trevor Saliba. "Tbey're starting to get use to my defen- sive style," said Winterhawks' bench boss Glynn Hancott, whose teamn was 7-4 prior to last night's home game against Woolwicb.

Milton fizzled with the man-advantage, particularly in nhe dying minutes of play when their opponents had two men in the penalty box and they pulled the goalie for a six-on-tbree situation.
