Bantam Red Off To a Good Start
The Bantam LL Red team, sponsored by Ricco Foods, started the 2012-13 season off well, playing their first game on Saturday, October 6th, 2012.  Playing on home ice at the Gemini Sportsplex, they took on the Mount Brydges LL Gold team.

Less than a minute into the first period, Easton S. of Strathroy netted the first goal of the game, assisted by Russel L and Zac C.  For the duration of the period -- and indeed, until the start of the third period, Strathroy played solid hockey, demonstrating strong teamwork and keeping Mount Brydges at bay.

At the start of the third period, having played amazingly well for a team with only one practice under its belt, Strathroy began to show signs of fatigue.  Mount Brydges scored their first goal within the first couple of minutes of the third.  Although Strathroy did their best to rally, Mount Brydges managed another goal later in the period, bringing their board to 2.  In the final two minutes of play, Strathroy gave it their all and pulled it together, which allowed for Griffin S. to score, unassisted.  The final score of the game was 2-2.

The Strathroy Bantam LL Red team takes to the road next week, playing Point Edward on Saturday, October 13, 2012 at 7 p.m.  Way to start the season boys!
