Players from the visiting U-12 team from Trinidad and Tobago (left) are joined by players from the host Oakville Blizzard U- l l and guest players from the Oakville U - l l Acorns and U-10 rep team. Wednesday, July 21, 1999 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER Oakville plays host to team from Trinidad and Tobago The Oakville Blizzard U- l l boys rep team, with support from the Oakville Acorns U- l l rep team and the Oakville U-10 rep team, recently hosted an international exhibition match against a team of U-12 players from Trinidad and Tobago. The visitors were 4-1 winners. The 18 visitors, students at the International School of Soccer in Port of Spain, Trinidad, are based in Scarborough for several weeks and are playing most of their games in that area. However, Jean Lillywhite, the school owner and leader of the trip, had been to Oakville in the past. He's coached teams from Trinidad and Tobago at the annual Friendship Tournament run by the Oakville Soccer Club. He wanted his players on this trip to play against Oakville "because they need to gain as much experience as possible and Oakville teams are always good teams. We wanted them to see different styles and attitudes and we wanted them to be challenged," he said. Rep Reports Sem ifinalists a t H ockey in Toronto Invitational tourney The Youth Summer Hockey League Minor Peewee Glenleven Cherokee's participated in the recent Hockey in Toronto Invitational Tournament at Ice Sports in Oakville. Not knowing what to expect going in, the boys, predominantly red house league players coached by Mike Car, found them­ selves seeded in a 4-team loop of atom AAA teams from Toronto, Michigan and Mid West Ontario. And though they came up short on the score sheet in all four games, the Chiefs did themselves, and Oakville proud, as they were forced not only to raise the level of their game, they were exposed for the first time, to the checking aspect of the game of hockey. Friday night saw the boys take on the Toronto Red Wings. The Chiefs were even with the Wings for the first half of the game but fell short by the score of 6-2. Cherokee goalie, Eric Joyce, was spectac­ ular as he faced over 40 shots. Bulging the twine were Ryan Corrigan and David Sissons with helpers from Kyle Merstorf and Corrigan. The defence was solid as Dean Kenwood, Brian Marshall, Matt Zeismann, and Jamie March faced a con­ stant sea of red and white. Saturday morning brought forth, even­ tual finalists, Michigan Ice Dogs. The boys came to play and almost pulled it off in the third period, succumbing 5-3. Once again, Joyce was the backbone as he employed Hasek-like acrobatics between the pipes. Sissons hit for two markers with Merstorf sandwiching one in between. Johnathon Oliver 2, Eric Car and Lawrence Edmonds chipped in with assists. Pat Kahnert, Barrett Cook, David DeGeer and Michael Berrie, who rung one of the cross bars, had strong games. The tournament champion Mid West North Stars provided the opposition in the last game of the round robin. This team, made up of select AAA players from the region, was surprised at the tenacity shown by the Chiefs for the first half of the game. Eric Joyce was brilliant in goal once again and despite playing most of the game in their end of the rink, the Cherokees were only behind 4-2 going into the third period. But it was not to be as the North Stars dominated the play the rest of the way en route to a 7-2 triumph. Again, Sissons and Merstorf would find their way onto the score sheet with a goal and an assist each. Sunday's semi-final brought forth a return match with the North Stars and a chance for redemption. But it was not in the cards for the Cherokee's as they were totally shut down, and shut-out, by the relentless forechecking of the Stars. But that was not the end of hockey for the weekend as the Chiefs returned to league action Sunday night and upped their record to 4 and 0 with a convincing 10-4 victory over the Lightning. Car 3g, la and Sissons each recorded the hat trick with single markers to Spencer Marlow lg, la; March lg, 2a; Berrie lg, la; and Kenwood lg, 2a. Additional helpers went to Merstorf 2, Zeismann 2, Kahnert, Oliver, Edmonds, and Dan D'Alimonte. E xhibition 16-6 win over M ississauga in play down tune-up The Oakville Little League AA all-stars continued their exhibition season with a 16-6 win over Erindale in Mississauga Saturday night under the lights. This time, it was Ryan Malhotra stepping to the fore with three hits, [ two runs and an RBI plus throw-outs at second and third bases. Tyson Theaker, the hitting star of the previous Dundas tourney, still continued his hot hand with two hits and a run along with two outstanding infield plays. Adding to these two impressive performances was winning pitcher Scott DeGroot who had two hits, a run and an RBI, along with two long | fly-ball catches in left field. Chris Stewart, Roger Lambert, Matt Downer and Alden Black also contributed two runs each while A.J. O 'Brodovich, Jeremy Webster, Marco Dordevic and Daniel Keresteci (with a bunt single gem) came in with a run apiece. Dordevic and Lambert also shone on the pitching mound. The Little League District playdowns start July 23rd in Orangeville with the winner moving on to Ottawa for the Little League Provincials Aug. 3rd. The winner in Ottawa flies to Calgary for the Canadians in mid August. The Little League AA all-stars are sponsored by Arctic Refrigerator, Carmen's Banquet Centre, Halton Chiropractic, Merrill Lynch-Peter Lambert, Roill-Tek and Sleep Labs. (Of interest, and contrary to earlier reports), Erindale was not the win­ ner of the Dundas tourney. They and Ancaster tied 9-9 with Ancaster declared the winner on the previous inning count-back. It was Ancaster's third tie-win of the tournament. Needless to say, tournament officials are looking to change this convoluted rule for the 2000 tourney. Cham pions o f the K ing C ity all-star tournam ent In spite of the scorching heat, the Oakville Warriors under 12 girls all-star team brought home the cup from the under-13 girls King City All Star Tournament. The first game against Etobicoke went to a 1-1 tie with Katie Ennis scoring the goal. The second game against West End United, was a 1- 0 victory with Heather Falikowski scoring solo. The third game against Orillia went to a 3-0 defeat with Laura Iosue, Heather Falikowski and Antonija Kapusin finding the net. Oakville won a nailbiter in the semifinals against North Toronto, 2-1 on overtime penalty kicks. Oakville forced overtime, evening things up at 1-1 in the last minute with Laura losue tip­ ping in the ball. A 10-minute nail biting over­ time failed to resolve the stalemate and Oakville proceeded to win on penalty shots. The Championship game against the host team King City was a 3-0 solid win with goals to Stefania Sferlazza, Cara Lio and Antonija Kapusin. Great offensive efforts were also made by Natalie Dimichele, Suzzanne Burgam, Amber Mikkenen and Vanessa Shapka. An awesome defensive effort with only two goals against all tournament by Annie Dykstra, Shireen Maarschalk, Diandra Rosart, and Jennifer Saunders. Outstanding performance from our sweeper Stephanie Vanveen. Earning three shutouts and making some amazing saves was Jennifer Melo. C larksonSheridan tourney win is their second in a row Oakville Thunder, the Oakville Soccer Club Girls Under 13 All-Star team, made it two in a row, using a balanced attack to come through a strong field of 12 teams and win the 1st Annual Clarkson-Sheridan All- Star Soccer tournament held June 26th and 27th. Thunder struck quickly and often in the first two preliminary round games, defeating an Erin Mills team 7-0 and Ajax United 4-0. The third game against North Mississauga presented a much stiffer challenge, with two late goals required for a come-from-behind 2-1 victory and a guaran­ teed ticket into Sunday's playoff round. Brantford provided the opposition in a semifinal contest that was marked by even play and a 1-1 score at the end of regulation time. Oakville's Emily Wadley scored first, but Brantford pressed the attack and obtained the tying goal late in regulation. Diane Hink's golden goal put the game away in overtime as she finished a play that included a strong run and cross by Melanie Trehame and a deft pass by Emily Wadley. The tournament final saw Oakville down Oshawa 5-3 in a gutsy per­ formance by both teams as they battled each other in hot and muggy con­ ditions. Oakville gained an early advantage as Melanie Trehame efficient­ ly placed two long balls behind the advancing Oshawa keeper. The teams traded goals, with Trina Vella striking with two markers of her own. However, Oakville could not gain more than a one goal advantage until Monique Bocchinfuso out-sprinted Oshawa's defenders and scored on a well-placed shot for a 5-3 win. Keepers Sara Hay and Heather Masterson met the challenge of playoff action with strong performances and defenders Jessica Vines, Julia Carter, Laura Grouchy, and Sara DaSilva refused to give up the one scoring chance that might have thrown the result in doubt. Cyclones w in their second tourney in a row in Clarkson The Boys U -ll Cyclones all-star team, spon­ sored by Swiss Chalet, Cutler Hammer and Euro United Corp., easily won their 2nd consecutive tournament in Clarkson on June 26th and 27th. In the opening game, the Cyclones dominated play but could not penetrate Dixie's relentless defence. The Dixie Devils scored early with a quick counterplay, but the Cyclones pressed hard to get the equalizer by Olaf Jones, and the go ahead by Nicholas Vetro. Late in the game, Dixie salvaged a 2-2 draw on another breakout play. In the other round-robin games, the Cyclones howled Burlington 3-0, and blew away St. Catharines 8-0. Jeff Emberley, Kyle Morrison, Vilayeth Ali, and Sean McMonagle controlled the midfield bril­ liantly. Goals were scored by Paul Lio (3), Jones (3), Chris Sacripante, Vetro, Michael Cippola, Daniel Garcia, and Cameron Griffith. In the semifinals, the Cyclones breezed through Port Hope with a 4-0 win. Brian Lieferink, Mathew Repic and Andrew DaSilva formed a defensive wall and did not allow a shot on goal. The Cyclones started strong in the champi­ onship game against the undefeated Dixie Devils, and within 10 minutes earned a penalty shot that was easily converted by Lio. Minutes later, Vilayeth Ali sailed in a blast from 25 yards away. Dixie again mounted numerous quick coun­ terattacks, but this time Garcia, Douglass Kotulak and Repic shut them down. Andre Gorham scored early in the second half from a pass by Garret McLean, and added anoth­ er goal minutes later to increase the lead by four. The Devils would finally score late in the game, and earn a penalty shot which was stopped with a diving punch-out by Cippola. The Cyclones would then add another for a 5- 1 victory. A key Ontario Cup play down victory against Erin M ills The U -ll Boys Oakville Blizzard have stormed to the top of the Ontario Southern Region League First Division with a record of 5-0-1. They also won their first round Ontario Cup game. The Eagles play in the Premier Division of Ontario Southern Region Under 11 Boys, and here's their recent action. Blizzard 3 at Guelph 0 (June 24, league): hard fought match away highlighted by strong play by mid-fielders Ryan Shields and Morgan Siernat. Mark Badrov scored twice for the Blizzard and Danny Garcia, on loan to the Blizzard from the Oakville U11-Selects, pumped home the third. Blizzard 2 at Cambridge 0 (June 29, league): solid play by both teams had the game tied 0-0 at half time. Evan Kadet at sweeper and Chris Farrugia, Julian Fabiani at full­ back were keys to keeping the score sheet clean in the half. After the break, the Blizzard blanketed Cambridge in their end. Their hard work was rewarded when David Schnittker converted a rebound from an Anthony Delgiudice shot for the first goal. Joel Brooks scored the second when Mathew Smith put a great pass across the front of the Cambridge net, which Brooks finished with a sure touch. Blizzard 3, visiting Saltfleet 1 (July 6, league): Ally Robitaille scored the first from a Morgan Biernat pass. When the Blizzard were awarded a direct free kick on the edge of the Saltfleet 18-yard box, Patrick Coster stepped up and drove it home. After half-time, Matthew Smith made it 3-0 when he took a Greg Pucillo pass and made a great run up the middle and fought off a cou­ ple of defenders to score. Blizzard 3, Erin Mills Eagles 2 (July 8, ONTARIO CUP game): this game proved a real test for the Blizzard, which they passed with honours. Erin Mills opened the scoring. The Blizzard then tied it up when David Schnittker finished a play started near the Erin Mills net by Ally Robitaille and Joel Brooks. Erin Mills scored their second with five minutes left in the half. The Blizzard replied three minutes later, when Brooks pounced on a ball that was mishandled by the Erin Mills keeper at the side of his net. Brooks' shot rebounded to Mark Badrov, who put it away from what seemed an impossible angle. Nikolas Jelicic in mid-field and Nicholas Warelis at full back were particularly strong in the first half. After the interval, the teams played from end to end. Reilly Pierce made some key saves in the Blizzard net. Finally, David Schnittker scored the winner with about five minutes left, when he made a superb run down the right side, out to the middle to beat the defender, and drove the ball past the Eagles' keeper. i D7 (kmiiMotioes J & Market Basket H U T C H IN S O N FA R M 6202 Walker's Line (8 Km.
