Finals Here They Come
In the semi-final round of Shamrock League play, the South Kent Lightning (Taco Bell) Bantam Reps faced two strong teams to move onto the final round.  They beat Lambeth Lancers in both games and tied St. Marys Rock in both games.

On March 2nd, South Kent Lightning played at Lambeth to take down the Lancers 3-2 in the first of the round robin series.  Opening the scoring was Lambeth early in the first but followed quickly with a goal from Aiden Rigby, assisted to Mac Anderson. Second period blanked but two in the third put South Kent ahead.  Goals were scored by Derek Schieman and Cory Beecroft, with Braydon Segeren assisting on both.  With only 16 seconds left in the game, Lambeth got one by James Larsh but it wasn't enough to beat the Lightning.
 
March 4th found South Kent in St. Marys' barn for a challenging game with most of the action in the second period.  Rigby started the action with Kolby Caughy assisting, followed by a St. Marys goal, and two minutes later another goal by Rigby this time assisted by Carter Gates.  In the last minute of play, St Marys pulled their goalie to give them one-man advantage and scored with 40 seconds on the clock and robbed goaltender Daniel Rodger of the win.  Tie game ended with 2 goals each.
 
Friday, March 6th brought St Marys to the Ridgetown arena to face a similar fate as Wednesday.  The teams were evenly matched and only late in the third period did either team prevail.  With less than 4 minutes left, Caughy found a hole with Rigby's help.  Once again, St. Marys pulled their goalie with less than a minute left, and at 41 seconds they scored to leave with another tie.
 
Ending the round robin series was the game in Blenheim on Sat, March 7th where James Larsh earned a shutout for some great goal tending, with a final score of 4-0.  Kolby Caughy got two goals followed by one each for Segeren and Jamie Pynenbrouck who also got an assist.  Other assists were earned by Cam Wellington, Mac Anderson, and Derek Schieman.
 
The team now moves into the final round of play against the winner of the Mooretown Jr. Flags/Wallaceburg Lakers series.
