Whitchurch-Stouffville's John Pearce and Chianto, a 12-year-old Dutch wmnblood grey gelding, won Phase One of the $175,000 John Deere Canada Cup Championship at the Caleâ€" don Equestrian Park near Caledon Friday. Although Pearce and Chianto pulled a rail during their ride and were penalized four secâ€" onds, they still finished ahead of 2008 Olympic silver medallist Ian Millar and his mount In Style, who completed the course with a faultless ride in 75.04 seconds. The 48-year-old Ballantrae resident and 2004 Canadian Olympian was one of the last riders to compete from the field of 32. He rode Chianto in 74.82 seconds. ‘ Pearce, who had been riding Chianto since January, feels his mount has plenty of potential to do bigger things before the season comes to a close. ‘ a “He's a smart horse, he's got a big heart and I think he really likes me,” he said. - Zack attack paces Cllpper wln “I get a really good feeling from this horse and I think he’ll go on and do a lot of good things. He’s got lots of energy and could have done 10 rounds today. And if he stays calm and doesn’t get rattled, he's really smooth." Zack McMahon scored two goals to propel the Stoufi'ville minor bantam AE Clippers to a 3-1 win over TNT in their Ontario Minor Hockey Association home-opener at the Stouffville Arena last week. ~ Matt Renzoni scored the other marker for the Clippers.

Esbe Scientific BY MIKE HAYAKAWA Staff Writer Sarah Langendoen did something this season she didn’t have to do last year as coach of the Stouffville Distn'ct Secondary School Spartans girls' field hockey team. She had to make roster cuts before the York Region Athletic Association tier one season began. Not happy to say farewell to sev- eral prospects, she is enthused that field hockey is alive and growing at Stoufiville. The 23-member squad made its debut Monday on their new home field, battling Alexander Mackenzie Second- ary School (Richmond Hill) to a 0-0 tie and sufiered a 2-1 loss to King City Sec- ondary School. Eriéa McConamy scored the lone goal for the Spartans. “This is a dedicated team,” Langen- doen said of the mix of seniors and first-year players. “I like their attitude. they have good spirit and they're having a good time." Langendoen feels the strength of her squad is on the defence that's anchored by Sarah Steiner, a Grade 12 student, and Christine Barkey from Grade 11. Tending goal is rookie Clara Hoover, who earned the shutout Monday. Playing in a four-team Central Divi- sion that includes Dr. G.W. Williams Secondary School (Aurora), Bayview Secondary School (Richmond Hill) and Alexander Mackenzie, the Spartans are faced this season with a challenging schedule.

That means some teams, including the Spartans. are being forced to play gruelling twoâ€" game sets. “This was the first doubleheader that I've coached," Langendoen said of Monday/s games. “But this will be an interesting season. So far I’m happy with our team." The Spartans resume league play today with a game at Dr. G.W. Wllliams at 4:30 pm. The Spartans senior boys’ rugby team will take part in a 7’3 tournament today at Fletcher’s Field in Markham. They'll play Leaside High School of Toronto, Scarborough’s Sir Oliver Mowat High School and Bradford District High School. Rugby teams tackle fall season The Spartans bantam team, coached by Tom Mintchev, were to have par- ticipated in a 7’5 tourney yesterday at Fletcher’s Field. The junior fall program was scrubbed due to a lack of commitment, Spartans head coach Jamie Hewitt said.
