Bantam Girls See Lots of Action in Milverton Tournament
The Bantam Girls took part in the Milverton tournament and met up against a very strong opponent in Game 1 against the host team.   
      

Having played Milverton previously in an exhibition game, the girls knew it was going to be a tough ride.  They held on respectably for the first two periods but were unable to find the steam in the 3rd and came out with a 7 - 0 loss. 
 
Their next game was against another strong Grand River team and again came out with a disappointing loss of 7 - 0.  The girls were undeterred and showed up to play a solid game 3 against Mitchell.  They only allowed one goal in both periods 1 and 2, and had many chances on the opponent's net but were unable to hold on and were handed their 3rd loss of the tournament with a final score of 4 - 0.

The tournament format allowed them to come back and play a final game 4 against Mitchell once again.   After having just watched a thrilling win by the Blyth/Brussels Pee Wee girls team, the girls were pumped and ready to score some goals.  The game was pretty much a repeat of their previous game against Mitchell for the first 2 periods but the Blyth/Brussels girls didn't give up and finally Lauren McNichol with assists from Nicole Middegaal and Lauren Cronin, slid one past the Mitchell netminder to give the girls a tally on the score board.  The final two minutes of play was a nail biter for the spectators in the stands, however the game ended with a 2-1 hard fought win for the Mitchell team.
