Three more losses in November dropped the Muskies to the basement of the North Division of Western Ontario Athletic Association Senior League.

The two points won on Saturday places them one game ahead of the Goderich Pirates who in the bottom of the League.

Leading the Muskies in points is Black Lovell with three goals and seven assists after seven games – good for ten points.
