Thursday. ‘ |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 Lopes clu QUIET SMILE. Tony Lopes § i) had good reason to grin ajter 54 holes of the Skeena @ Valley Men's Golf Open. His 220 total gave him a three stroke winning margin 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, fone were pushovers as the 56-38 four-game points margin showed, hole was probably not quite the finish Tony Lopes had in mind. spare in carding a winning 220 at the *92 Skeena Valley men’s over 81, that was more than enough to give Lopes overall low gross. determined challenge from Jim Rigler who parred the last five holes in an unsuccessful attempt over total while Rigler's 75-72-76 | FIRST FLIGHT ~ left him three back. - Low Gross.” tied with Clayton Harris, Harris had caught fire the next round of the tournament.
