convenor Clark says that when Starr Electric originally chose to play in the OASA series they did so with the understanding that there would only be one series and the winner of that series would go to Oshawa for the Double championships The OASA only told us last week that there would be another series after the one with Bayfield said Clark The guys on the team just felt Even the best plans no
