Lamp
Lighters swat Defending Champs
By Joe
Balan
The
Belmont 4-on-4 season opened up yesterday
with the defending champion Stingers vs.
a new expansion team the Lamp Lighters.
Living up to their name, the Lamp
Lighters put up 7 goals to beat the
Stingers 7-3.
The
Lamp lighters had 5 different goal scores.
Led by Brent "Steve Perry"
Jenkins, Daniel "Bay Watch"
Hesselson"off" with two goals a
piece and one each by Joe "I'm
stayin, not" Balan, Andy "If
your happy and you know it clap your"
Han, and Bob "we missed you after
the game for a beero" Spiro. Also
helping on the offensive effort with his
great hustle and aggressiveness was Paul
"Jaques" Cousineau
Although
the Lamp Lighters were playing in their
first game, it looked as though they had
been together for the last 4 seasons.
Solid Defense by Alaric "The Talon"
Falcon, Andy "The Beard" Harris
and Jim "The Doctor" Loucks
helped Craig "the monster" Nash
keep the Stingers at bay for most of the
game.
The
front office of the Lamp Lighters was
pleased, but was reminded that the
Stingers were missing 3 of their top guys.
Captain
Balan was quoted as saying "The
Stingers went through a few changes in
the off season with the promotion of Neil
"The Hammer" Parkin to Head of
Player Operations and the promotion of
Dave "Richiie" Cunningham to
captain. I think they are still the team
to beat this season and I am sure they
will make some moves during the season to
improve their roster."
One
important note to mention is that there
was a tremendous showing at the bar after
the game. The Lamp Lighters out drank the
Stingers 4 pitchers to 2 in the final
stanza.
