saves to earn the shutout the fourth game of the playoffs was against ca nyon meadows who had also won their first three games the calgary league champions started with an enormous drive towards the panther goal but were un able to penetrate the stouff ville defense speedy sweeper wes bar bour was able to hang on long enough for his defen ders to return to their nor mal play centre striker drea glover who played a strong exhibition game against the calgary selects was given little space drea however managed to fool his markers by feeding his wing strikers jamie grist gilles francis and ben lavoie perfect passes the team went on to win 20 at this point the stouffvil le club was the only team with no goals against and more importantly the only team in the under 12-year- old division to be undefe ated the teams remark able performance moved them to the final while the other division winners met in semifinal action the final game against the spokane sky hawks was a nailbiter the sky hawks tried to break through but jason melko and wes bar bour stopped them cold the most dangerous sky hawk was marked by guy biadi who played a tremendous defensive game guy never let him go more than three feet he was absolutely brilliant in defense explained rub bens meanwhile the midfiel ders slowly took over the game travis white con- tinuely pressed his oppo nent but the spokane goal keeper was one of the best the stouffville team had met and then travis was tripped in the goal area leading to a penalty kick by captain jason melko jason delivered a booming shot to lead the panthers to a 10 victory jason underwood made several good saves in goal to keep the sky hawks off the score sheet the stouffville panthers have now won gold in water loo sudbury stouffville and

stouffville seniors were skunked 20 in soccer action in bradford last week a twoweek layoff be tween games did nothing to enhance an otherwise slug gish team the one bright spot was the return of kees spoorenburg and martin johannessen from the in jury list as in previous games where the seniors have been slightly undermanned the game was primarily played in either the stouffville end or at centre forcing the de fense to bare the blunt of the game gil francis had a tremendous game at left back while charles parker and jim currie also played a strong part in keeping bradford off the score sheet

the seniors generated several good scoring chances parti- cularly from mike grist and wolfgang bopp hank ben ders also posed a threat in the bradford goal mouth especially on the high cross balls midway through the second half bradford opened the scoring on a high shot to the corner they sea led the game with their second goal with just five minutes remaining diamond space given at special
