It was hinted that a Salmonbellies player spit at Redmen's John - Fusco, but whatever the provication, there was a doney-brook that would have 'rivaled anything seen to date. It resulted in eight game misconducts, four to each side, and a line-up of faces that looked as though they had gone the maximum of rounds with Sean O'Sullivan. But let's put the fighting and penalties to one side and get back to what the series is supposed to be about...namely the Canadian Lacrosse Championship games. New West took the first game on a 14-10 score. It was one of those "I just don't believe it" games as Redmen trailed 3-2 after the first period and 7-6 heading for the final frame. Five seconds into the third period Brooklin knotted the score and hopes soared. The two clubs traded goals during the early por- tion of the period, but then the Redmen bubble burst as Salmonbellies hit for six straight goals to salt the game away. Ken Colley sparked the Redmen attack with a three-goal effort. Kevin VanSickle scored twice with Bill Callan, Jim Wasson, Cal Avison, Randy Gallas and Andy Perroni picking up singles. Thursday's game belonged to Brooklin from start to finish. Gil Nieuwendyk, who missed the open- ing game because he was on his honeymoon, appeared to light the Redmen fire. The home team lead 5-1 at one point before New West started to close the gap, but before the second period was five minutes old Brooklin bounced ahead on an 8-3 count and never looked back. With the game almost over, and Brooklin sporting an 11-6 lead, a vicious thunderstorm threw the arena into darkness, which delayed the match for 15 minutes while the clocks were set...and reset...and .reset, but when play resumed, Redmen held on and the game end- ed with the same score. Nieuwendyk and Callan each picked up two goals with singles coming from Avison, Fred Upshaw, John Fusco, Dale Kernohan, John Jordon, and Ken Colley. Derek Keenan, who is attending university in New York on a lacrosse scholarship, returned for Saturday's third game, and for his grand entrance popped a goal. Wasson, Fusco and Eric Perroni each counted for two goals with singles coming from Holder, Jor- dan, Greg Kent and Ken Colley. The game was a heartbreaker as fans, expecting overtime, saw Salmonbellies eke out the 12-11 win with three seconds left on the clock. Sunday, or should we say 'fight night," Redmen went ahead 4-2 after the first 40 minutes of play in this close scoring game, only to have New West come back to tie the score with two goals less than two minutes apart. Dale Kernohan got the go- ahead goal, but again Salmonbellies knotted the score. But it was Tom Wreggitt's marker with 2:50 left in the game that clinched it for Brooklin. Salmonbellies threw in everything they had to try for the equalizer, in- cluding pulling their goalie, but it just wasn't to be. The score remain- ed 6-5 for Redmen. Scoring for Redmen were Keenan with three, Jordan, Kernohan and Wreggitt. Redmen were without Nieuwen- dyk Sunday as he was down with the flu and also Bill Down, out with a hand injury. Both are expected for tonight's game. a -_- NTI.
