The Robbie attracts the best teams from Ontario and teams from other provinces and the U.S. There were 24 teams in the tournament. The Blue Stars were in tough against the Brampton Cavaliers and Pickering Power on Friday losing 6-0 and 6-1; however, after adjusting to the pace and strength of their opposition, the Blue Stars in both games held their own in the second half by outshooting their opposition. The Blue Stars were indeed in a tough division as both Brampton and Picketing went on to the final game in the U-10 divi­ sion.

EIGHT IN A ROW The Blue Stars went a long way to ensuring a first place finish with a 3-1 win in Brampton. The Blue Stars opened the scoring, only to have Brampton come back to tie it.

And the defending champions, B.C., were suc­ cessful in defeating the contenders by a score of 3-1. According to Field Hockey Ontario president John DeSouza, B.C. definitely outplayed Ontario. 'They had great teamwork," he said. "Ontario played a great game, but, inside the B.C. 25 yard line, they were not able to capitalize on their chances." DeSouza complimented the Oakville Field Hockey Club on a well run tournament. "Many players and coaches from all the teams com­ mented positively on the tournament. In fact, B.C. left me a thank you card that really belongs to the Oakville Field Hockey Club who took care of the organization­ al aspects of the tournament." In it, Ali Johnston from the BC team wrote: "I've been to many tournaments in and out of Canada; this one stands out. Thank you for all your efforts, they do not go unnoticed." The OFHC founder John Picone, whose club is doing much to help the sport grow at the grass roots level, said his club was more than pleased to help out with the elite event. The OFHC has well more than 100 members in its U-19 and Masters divisions. "Most are playing the game for the first time, and they're have great fun," he said. The artificial turf at Appleby College, on which the club plays, he said, is particularly beneficial. "Here you can learn the game; grass is frustrating." The visiting players, coaches and umpires enjoyed a social evening prepared by the Oakville Field Hockey Club at Maple Grove United Church. Two of the OFHC members were acknowledged with outstanding achievement awards for their support of field hockey here in Oakville: Vinnie DiRollo and Diana Bissonnette. The Oakville Field Hockey Club acknowledges Gino's Pizza, Hopedale, and Fantasy Fruit Market for their support of the tournament. Velebit a t home Friday (Continued from page D1) brothers, Robert and Ed Stodola, the latter of which also suits up for the Velebit. They took part in Sunday's annual running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain with Robert getting national media attention when he was flattened by a bull. He was one of six injured, but fortunately when the dust had settled he was left with just a dime sized punc­ ture to his left elbow and some superficial cuts and bruis­ es. Anyway, the full story is in our news section. In regular season action, Velebit were surprised by an opening season loss against an Ottawa team, in their first year in the league, but they rebounded to win three and tie two of their next five games and are still very much in the hunt for a third consecutive championship season. Manager Joe Rupcich said the players are aiming for a third straight title as that would put them in the same com­ pany of a great Scarborough Azzurri team which won three straight league titles and two Canadian champi­ onships in the 1980s. Frank Eskit shone in the weekend Ontario Cup play- down win, said Rupcich. Frank and his brother Peter Eskit give the team the two best goalies in Ontario, he said. Velebit are in Guelph tonight (Wednesday) and are at Bronte Field Friday, 8:45 p.m., hosting the very same Brampton Hansa Haus they beat in last weekend's Ontario Cup playdown win. Twisting their way to U.S. victory The Oakville Twisters U-14 girls soccer team braved the weekend heat wave to play five games in Pittsford, New York's annual tournament, winning the second place trophy in an all-Canadian final against league rivals, the London Shooting Stars. The Twisters turned in outstanding performances in preliminary games against teams from Rochester, N.Y. (a 4-0 victory with all four goals coming off the foot of Louise Compton) and Miami, Florida, who managed to tie the Twisters with a controversial off­ side goal, but couldn't keep up in a semifinal rematch when Compton notched an over­ time clincher to add to Kate Ravens two goals for a 3-2 victory. After a preliminary loss to London, the Twisters again faced the London girls for a championship match played in Sunday's scorching mid-afternoon heat, and endured to give London a challenge that resulted in a 2-0 loss for Oakville. Game MVP awards throughout the tournament were given to Kirsten Temporale, Laura Crawford, Louise Compton and Katerina Rewilak (who received two for her out­ standing performance in net). Finalists in their first tourney First grand slam of the season Playing together for the first time this season, the Oakville White Squall girls U- 17 all-stars put on a marvellous display of sportsmanship and skill in unrelenting heat and humidity at the annual Erin Mills soc­ cer tournament on July 4 and 5. The team advanced through the Saturday round robin games with two wins and a tie to win their division with 10 goals for and only four against. They met Scarborough in the final, the team that had tied them (2-2) in the prelim­ inary round. This time, the verdict went to Scarborough 2-1 for the championship win. After a scoreless first half in sweltering heat, Oakville opened the scoring in the first few minutes of the second frame. Unfortunately, a called penalty kick created a tie and then Scarborough won the game on a goal-mouth scramble after Emma Zinatelli stopped an incredible point blank shot but the defence was unable to clear the zone. In the preliminary round showdown, it was Scarborough that opened up a 2-0 lead less than six minutes into the game. But Oakville buckled down and goals by Jackie Kendrick and Elena Sterling evened up the game. Oakville went on to win their final two preliminary round games, 4-0 over Milton (Natalie DiCroce, Jesse Johnson, Jackie Kendrick and Elena Sterling) and 4-1 over Grimsby (Kryselle Alafriz, Amie Peddle, Judit Bokor and Jackie Kendrick). Strong defensive support was pitched in by Ashley Ventresca, Christy Capron, Nadia Manes, Jessica Tontini and Jennifer Farrugia. On Sunday the White Squall scored five unanswered first half goals and cruised to a 5-1 semifinal win (Judit Bokor 2, Natalie DiCroce, Amie Peddle and Jackie Kendrick). The Oakville A's Minor Mosquito Baseball team, sponsored by Covertech and Pattinson-Ide Electrical, are domi­ nating league play with their strong pitching staff and heavy-handed batters. The A's recently hosted the Georgetown Eagles. The starting pitcher, Paul Jurgaitis, set the tone for the game as he struck out the first three Georgetown batters. The A's stepped up to the plate and reeled off three runs in their half of the opening inning. From that point on, the Oakville bats exploded with every player hitting safe­ ly and many of them scoring two or more runs as the A's invoked the mercy rule after four-and-a-half innings. The highlight of the game came in the third inning, when Michael Young stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded. Young crushed a fast ball to deep right field and cleared the bases for the the A's first grand slam of the season. Next up for the A's were Brampton Royals. The boys maintained their focus throughout the game and pulled out the win. The highlights of the game included a spectacular catch by Jordan Windisch to end the inning leaving Brampton with the bases loaded., Mark Friesen pitched three solid innings for the A's. Graeme Moffatt closed out the game with a three up, three down final inning to clinch the 10-7 victory. And finally, the A's visited the Burlington Blue team in what turned out to be a lopsided affair. Paul Jurgaitis pitched four innings of no-hit ball. The offence lit up the Burlington pitching, as the A's motored their way to a convincing 12-2 win.
