By Chelsea Bray/Special to The Scugog Standard

This week’s action began with a game between Phillips Petroleum and Reid’s. Erik Hudson opened the scoring for Reid’s in the first, and was answered by Lee Hoare for Phillips. Chris Duff added a goal for Phillips to end the first. The second period closed with two more goals for the home team, giving Phillips a 4-1 lead going into the third. Joe Jones advanced Phillips once again and a response finally came from Reid’s Jason Bertrand to bring the score to 5-2. In a final attempt to even things up, Reid’s pulled their goalie but to no avail. Stellar goaltending by Luke Carnaghan helped Phillips win this one. Phillips Petroleum 5/Reid’s 2

Next, Bell Transport took on Jim’s Excavating. Dan Lyons lit up the scoreboard first for Bell and that lead advanced with a goal by Greg Langille to round out the period. The second frame saw Dan Lyons extend Bell’s lead to three with defenceman Gavin Cochrane finally answering for Jim’s. Guy Hache (Bell), Gavin Cochrane and Jim Vernon finished off the scoring for the second period to put Bell ahead by 4-3 heading into the third. The last period was uneventful.

The fourth and final game was between Strachan Contracting and Martyn Haulage. The lone goal of the first period was scored by Brad Morton for Martyn.

Gerard Timmers helped his cause by scoring for Strachan and Tim Balson answered with a goal of his own for Martyn to end the second, 4-2. The third saw Gerard Timmers and Craig Belfry score less than a minute apart to tie the score at four. Next, Strachan’s Darren Mulligan found the net just two minutes later with Jason Cliff notching his second for night to tie the game with only a minute left.
