|Northmen hobble Camels

The Terrace Northmen wound up their. North
Coast Rugby League season as they began it - win-
ning.

And, to make the scason finale all the sweeter, the
back-to-back victories included exorcising the curse

_ of Camelot.

The Northmen opened the June 27-28 weekend
action by returning to Camelot, home of the
Smithers Camels and the scene three weeks cailier
of Terrace’s first loss of the season, 21-6.

First on the board through a Willie McCleary
penalty kick, the Northmen opened the gap to 7-0
when Jeff Schultz blocked an attempted Camel
clearing kick and pounced for the try.

Affer the home team kicker Dale Perry'split the
uprights on a penalty to make it 7-3, Schultz struck

again for his second try to give the Norlhmen an

eight point margin at halftime.
Although McCleary’s aerial. attack came up a

lite short on the day (he hit on only one of five

convert altempts), he made up for it on the ground

and the first of his two tries came early in the sec-

ond half to extend Terrace’s lead to 15-3,
The Camels replied when Paul Davidson booted
the ball into the end-zone where Jason Pauler fell

on it for. the major. Perry missed the convert but, at

15-7, Smithers was back in the game.

Not for long, however, as McCleary struck again
to restore the 12 point gap: Graham Bayles then
celebrated his return to the Northmen line-up with a
try, converted by McCleary fora 25-7 final.

Back of their own turf the following day for the

Season's final game, the Norlhmen were slow to get

rolling against Prince Rupert.

As a result, they found themselves in the un-
accustomed position of being down 6-0 after the
Rainmen’s Tom Jackson went over and Charlie
Armstrong made good on the convert.

The deficit was short-lived, however, Graham
Bayles taking the ball across and McCleary making
no mistake on the kick to tic the game,

The deadlock held until well into the second half
when an indirect penalty was called after a high
tackle flattened Terrace’s George DaCosta, On the
penalty play, DaCosta flipped a quick pass back to
McCleary whose drop kick squeaked inside the
upright for a 9-6 lead. ;

It stayed that way until the dying moments of the

game and again it was McCleary to the fore, Burst-
_ing through the Rupert ranks to carry the ball al-
most.to the line, he flipped a pass to trailer Doug

Wilson who scissored to po between the posts for
four more. 2B

McCleary converted to make the final margin 15-
6 and take his weekend points haul to 17.

The victories left the Northmen 9-1-0 fora season
during which they again dominaled the league.
However, that domination became less pronounced
over (he latter part of the season.

In running up a six-game unbeaten streak at the
beginning of the scason, the Northmen had
obliterated (heir opponents by a combined 215-10
scoreline. That changed with the loss to Smithers
and although Terrace went on to win ils last three,
