PAGE 10, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29, 1977, WHITBY FREE PRESS Narrow 3 - 2 victory for Bantarns Excitinggames highlightthei977soccerseason hetheytkpr 1977 socce cons4ý.tyzAnt thrustsin o th By STEVE PORTER On Tuesday, June 21 at Civic Fields in Oshawa the Whitby Crown Industrial bantams and North Oshawa Lions fought out a very ulose tremendously fast thriller with Whitby squeaking out a 3-2 victory which could easily have been a 3-3 tie had not Oshawa missed a penalty shot just prior to the final whistle. By my watch the game was- already four minutes into overtime when a corner kick was directed towards the Crown Industrial net, a defender deflected the ball, with his hands, against both the crossbars of the football type goal, knocking it back into the six yard box from where it was booted into the net. The referee had no choice but to call a penalty shot, against Whitby, but as the shot was missed the Oshawa coaching staff is protesting the decision. Earlier in the gane it looked as though neither team would get on the score sheet but at the 52nd minute mark Mark Hoogkamp headed on a pass to John Longmuir who hit the ball, on the turn, into the Oshawa net and Whitby were one up. The Crown Industrial lead was short lived as 60 seconds later Mike Lamers tied things up for the Lions. Half-time score 1-1. After only seven minutes of the second, Paul Hunt put in a fine lob shot whicl completely caught the Oshaw netminder on the wrong foot Again Lions tied things up, in short order, this time by Randy Winterink. Tackling became very close at this time and with Oshawa throwing everyone into offence they looked as though. they might take the game away from Whitby, but a fast break by Crown Industrial, which started in their own goalmouth resulted in the winning goal by Bill Lamont and what a beauty it was. With the Lions defense out to lunch and the ball streaking towards their net the home goalie had no choice but to come out but he was beaten to the ball by Bill Lamont who lofted it high over the advancing goalies iead and into the dead centre of the goal and that gives Whitby Crown Industrials a 3 and i record on this young season. Upcorning games for Crown Industrials are as follows: - Tuesday, July 5th, at Vanier at 6:30 p.m. against H.V.S., Steclers. Wednesday, July 20th at Pickering H.S. at 6:30 p.m. against Pickering. With their 6-1 win over Oshawa Westenders at Peel Park on Monday, June 20th, the Whitby Marianne Develop- ment juniors brought their seasons record to 2 and 1. This was a convincing win which coach Joe FrendoCumbo credits to some extent, to a t switching of his line-up which h saw Gary Agnew moved from a his right half bà ck position - into the forward Une at inside right where he fitted in very well along with regulars Bob Roach (O.R.), Robbie Frendo- Cumbo (C.F.), Dennis McCollern (l.L.), and Dave Soo (O.L.). This line accounted for all the Whitby goals with Bob Roach, who was very hungry for the ball, opening up the scoring. Pedro Springer tied things up for' the visitors before Gary Agnew made it 2-1 in favour of Marianne Development and Bob Roach gave them a 3-1 interval edge. In the second half with the garne, at tirnes, tending to get a bit rough Whitby kept their cool and popped in 3 unanswered goals with Bob Roach making a 4-1, with his 3rd of the evening, Dave Soo getting the fifth from the penalty spot, after Oshawa were penalised for tripping in the box, and Robbie Frendo- Cumbo finished off the scoring. Playing very well for Marianne Development were Bob Roach and goalie Fred FrendoCumbo. Next home game for Marianne Development will take place at Peel Park, kick- off 8 p.rn. when the opponents will be Oshawa Rangers. The 24 hour soccer-thon held over tie 18th and 19th June week-end and run by Whitby's Carretto Restaurant and Marianne Deveiopment teams raised ar estimnated $800.00 which will go to help finance their up-coming trip to Mexico early in July where they will take part in that countrys annual tourney. In my last report i stated that the first round Ontarno Cup game between Crown Industrial and Newmarket had been awarded to Whitby by default when Newmarket failed to show, however, Newmarket protested and although they were repre- nanded by the O.M.S.A. their protest was upheld and the game was set for Sunday, June 26th at 2 p.m. at Peel Park. Newmarket must now be wondering about the wisdom of their protest as they were hurniliated to the tune of 8-0 and believe it or not the scoreflatters thern. The officiai coach and manager failed to show and only ten players turned up for the gaine, however, the visitors could have played with fifteen such men and they couldn't have stopped the Crown Industrials who were playing with complete confidence and kept there cool under very trying conditions. I don't intend to single any player out for praise as this was a complete team effort and coach Don Mizen and assistant coach Cor Van Essen must be very pleased with the way Crown Industrial handled the game. Scorers for Whitby were Dave Cirti (3), George Rossler (2), John Longmuir (2), and Bill Lamont from the penalty spot. The Whitby bantams will now go against Aurora in the second round. Timre and Venue still to be determined. Whitby Marianne Develop- ment juniors also advanced to the. second round of the Ontario Cup when they defeated York Mills 3-2 at Peel Park on Sunday, June 26th. Although forced to play with ten men for most of the game after one of their players was ejected from the field after a scuffle the Whitby team kept running and although they seemed to tire near the end, when Jim Maia scoredtwo for the visitors, they neyer thc less, their dleserved mewma cosat thrusts into th oppositions goal area had the visitors in trouble on many occasions. Gary Agnew sçored the only goal of the first half after only four minutes, and four minutes into the second Tom Hunter scored a beau- tiful goal when he headed in a corner kick. Six minutes later Dennis McCollem deflected another corner kick passed the York Mills keeper. My player of the game was Tom Hunter of Whitby ,ho seemed to be all over the place.

In an effort to assist the minor soccer association's need for soccer fields, the department has installed two sets of goal posts on property adjacent to Gordon Street near the psychiatric hospital. This property is being leased by the town. These two fields and the Whitby Firefighters' field south of Iroquois Park have been treated for rodents.

Repairs to the Peel and Willow Park lacrosse boxes have been completed, the furnishings of the basement of the Senior Citizens' Activity Centre is near com- pletion, and landscape work in Central Park is under way and will be completed by Aug. 20. A sign will be installed soon at Iroquois Park, land scaping has been tendered, and tender calls have been issued for lighting of the softball and baseball di amonds.
