' “We knocked them out of the League Cup competition, and I am sure they’ll be out to even the score.” Oakville’s Donovan Bailey, 26, led the men’s 400m relay team to the gold medal with a Commonwealth Games record per- formance of 38.39 seconds on Sunday, the final day of the games, goal of an Ontario Cup champi- onship. Last year, Oakville was defeated in the semi-finals, and after that game the team vowed that next year they were going to dedicate them- selves to winning the championship. On Saturday, Oakville easily defeated Scarborough United Tigers 7-1 in their semi-final match, played at Birchmount Stadium. Amy Bell, Sarah Farrer and Mandy Joseph. Daniela Manes picked up a single. Oakville will now play the Burlington Sting Sept. 10 in Kitchener for the Ontario Cup. Oakville are also undefeated in regular season play and require only one win from their last two games to lock up first place.

Following the disqualification of Nigeria in the first semi-final as a result of a dropped baton during the first exchange, it became a question of whether it would be Canada or Jamaica on the top step of the podi- um on Sunday. Leading off, however, Bailey left very little doubt as to what his inten- tions were, opening up a lead that Canada increased with every step of Hockey is back in town! The Oakville Blades provincial junior ‘A’ hockey team is opening its fall train- ing camp this week with practices Thursday and Friday at River Oaks Rec Centre. “Right now wa are expecting about 65 players,” said manager Murray Walker. _ While it’s primarily by invitation only, any players who feel they’re capable of playing at the junior level are “free to come up â€" and we’ll talk,” said Mr. Walker. Returning veterans and rookie hopefuls won’t have to wait too long in their bid to impress first-year coach Jay Anderson. A heavy exhibition schedule opens next Wednesday (Sept. 7) at River Oaks Arena, ironically against Caledon, a team now coached by recently- departed Blades coach Greg Ireland. .“We gave him a call tor see if he wanted to come back (to play an exhibition game). He did,” explained Walker. Under Ireland’s guidance, the team put together a respectable playoff run that included series victories over Milton and Burlington and a near upset of the Hamilton Kilty Bees in the seven-game divisional final. Fittingly, the hectic seven-game exhibition sched- ule concludes September 20 against the Kilty Bees at Mountain Arena The regular season then opens on Fn'day, Sept. 23 in Milton with the home opener the following Friday (Sept. 30) at Oakville Arena against the Burlington Cougars.

I hope he makes it.” ‘ “Deleckirfelt that after two years he needed a change of pace so he’s off to Leamington (a Junior B team)” On defence, Andrew Short and Mike Byrne are “the only two returning defencemen.” preliminary competitions leading up to the national tiials are the respon- sibility of Bailey and his club, Athletiques International. To Help offset some of these costs, Bailey is looking for local corporations or individuals as spon- sors. Athletiques coach Bruce Burton said that any local businesses inter- ested in attaching their name “to be part of Canada’s sprinting future” should call him at 827-8725. Bailey has been part of a contro- versy ever since the trials to select the Commonwealth team. Although he has posted the fastest time this year by a Canadian â€" a 10.03 run in Europe earlier this year â€" he was unable to run at tri- als in Victoria in late July due' to ill- ness, and was passed over for selec- tion to the 100m event in favour of Bruny Surin who was also unable to compete at the trials due to ortho- scopic surgery to repair torn knee cartilage - “His statements questioning the selectors choice was vindicated when Surin finished sixth in his semi-final in a rather slow 10.30,” stated Burton. “Glenroy Gilbert of Ottawa was the lone Canadian in the final, fin- ishing sixth in 10.11 seconds as part of a blanket finish, which leads to the suggestion that Bailey, who has never lost to Gilbert, would have been a medalist.” Amw'nysewuwommcmmn's Cwncflomanon, mmmmmmmmmmmmsmm “Following the positive drug test of Horace Dove-Edwin of Sierra Leone, the color of the medal could very well have been silver, behind world and Olympic champion Linford Christie of England.” Azinger confirms Paul Azinger, the 1993 PGA championship winner, has con- firmed his intention to enter .the 1994 Bell Canadian Open. Azinger returned_ to the PGA tour earlier this month following a nine-month battle with cancer. “We’re excited that Paul Azinger has chosen the Bell Canadian Open as the next step on his comeback trail,” said Bill Paul, managing director for the Royal Canadian Golf Association. During his 11 years on the tour, Azinger has won 11 events. The Bell Canadian Open, which runs September 5-11, will mark his third tnnmament of 1994. ‘ HALTON MEN'S HOCKEY LEAGUE I Non~conuct I Trophies I Prime lime games I Balanced Icams I 20th season of operation I Excellent officiating I Swulcl'slmcks provided I Individua| cnlrics I 24+. 35+, And turn mlry divisions INFORMATION AND/OR REGISTRATION BY PHONE (905) 849-9712 Appliéntions at RIVER OAKS or GLEN APBEY ARwAS WINTER NON-CONTACT “'8 Yllllll BEGISIIIN nnuur HOCKEY
