Midget Rep tied 1–1 in battle against South Bruce


The Midget Rep Team sponsored by Shelburne Home Hardware, Bob Currie Masonry and Paul Downey Electric, is currently tied in their bid to secure an OMHA Championship with a game a piece in their semi-final round against South Bruce.
Shelburne lost their home opener last Friday night 3–2 before a full house. South Bruce capitalized on the teams' lack of focus in game 1 by scoring all 3 goals while Shelburne was short-handed serving out a variety of penalties.
On Sunday last, Shelburne met South Bruce in their arena and walked away with a 3–0 win. Net minder Eric Johnson was on fire and the boy's credit discipline and hard work for the 3–0 win.
“South Bruce is quick strong team with a number of part-time junior players in their line-up. We need to keep them away from the front of our net,” said head coach Mike Glassford. “We did a much better job moving them to the outside and beating them to pucks along the boards. Our forwards also did a much better job supporting our defense in our own end zone”.
“I think our boys may have been a little too excited in game one,” noted Assistant Coach Nick Glassford. “That lack of focus cost us dearly in having to play short-handed for much of the first game”.
After the 3–0 win on Sunday, Captain Dean Currie said, “We knew what we needed to do this game. We needed to walk away from the scrums, we had to do a better job getting the puck to the net and creating more traffic out front. We know we can beat this team.
Shelburne will face South Bruce next at home this Friday at the CDRC.
The series is proving to be a real battle for both teams.
Don't miss the next edge of your seat excitement as game three is played this Friday night at home at 8:30 p.m.
