The men’s and ladies’ teams, representing the Morrisburg Golf Club in the Ottawa Valley Golf Association’s Intersectional Match play have stalled in their respective divisions

For the third consecutive year, the men’s and ladies intersectional teams have finished in second spot, the ladies to remain in Division K and the Men to remain in Division O.

This past week, each of the teams hosted their leg of the Matches. Last Monday, July 9 the ladies finished in second spot behind Eagle Creek, the latter earning 41 points out of a possible 42 while the Morrisburg entry picked up 25.

Intersectional match play involves teams of seven players each with golfers from four clubs at each level. Each team member plays a match against the three opposing clubs and each has the potential of six points.

For Eagle Creek, it was almost a clean sweep. The only golfer who stood in their way was Lori Ann Davies of Morrisburg who collected a single point from her Eagle Creek player, Kendra Read.

Davies led the Morrisburg entry with five points, while Anita Cooper, Linda Barclay, Judy Laurin, Stephanie Cochrane and Monique Patenaude all added four points. Carolyn Weegar and Vicki Boivin contributed two points apiece.

The other two teams competing in the level K division were from Poplar Grove and the Iroquois Golf Club.

Nelly Leightizer led the Iroquois entry with four points, while Sally O’Brien and Betty Locke contributed two points apiece, and Majorie Lapier and Mary Jean Craig collected one point each.

The Morrisburg men’s club hosted their action on Sunday with just three clubs competing.

Finishing in first place for the right to move up a division in next year’s play was Falcon Ridge with 32 points.

Morrisburg was second with 21 and Rideau Glen in third with seven. (The men’s teams consist of  10 players each).

Larry Cooper, Ron Lapier and Robert Mann collected four points apiece for Morrisburg, while Jordie MacDonald, Gary Breyer, Kirk Barkley and Brian McNairn added two points each. Eric Wemerman collected a single point and Charlie Moore and Lee Beaupre were blanked.

The Intersectionals are ladder type events with the winner moving up a rung, second place having to host the next year’s event and last place dropping down a rung. The object is to climb to the top rung.

Because their second place finishes were the third in a row for the two Morrisburg teams, neither will have to host next year.

The Morrisburg Junior B Lions kept pace with the Athens Aeros, here Friday night, and twice recovered from a one goal deficit to tie the game. But a power-play goal at 12:22 of the third period was the deciding factor in the 5-3 Aeros win.

Parker Grant counted what would be the winner for the Aeros on their power play to break open a 3-3 tie, and the Aeros held on to the 4-3 advantage until the final minute of play, when Nathan Foster put the puck in the empty Lions net for the 5-3 Aeros win.

Ty Hannaford opened the Aeros scoring at 9:08 of the first period, and Cole Blanchard evened it on the Lions power play with help from Ryan Griffin at 10:46.

Nathan Foster allowed the Aeros to carry a 2-1 lead into the second period with his goal at 19:03 of the first period.

Zack Renfrew, (from Michael Paquette) tied the game, 2-2, at 2:06, but again the Aeros came charging back, this time with a Nathan Foster power-play goal at 4:56 of the second period.

The Aeros successfully guarded their 3-2 advantage until 11:01 of the third period when the Lions Jacob Kendrick counted from Dallas Blacksmith to even the game at 3-3.

Just over one minute later Parker Grant counted the winner.

John Gilmer was in net for the Lions loss and Greg Carre saw action for the Aeros. They both faced 33 shots on net.

The Aeros sat out 40 minutes of penalties on 16 infractions, and the Lions were assessed 38 minutes on 15 infractions.

The Aeros counted twice on their power play and the Lions once.

The Lions had just the one game on the weekend and that loss combined with a pair of Char-Lan Rebels wins results in the Lions dropping into the St. Lawrence Division’s bottom position with 12 points.

The Rebels have now pulled ahead into fifth place with 15 points and have one game in hand over the Lions.

At the top of the division, the Casselman Vikings lost their first game of the year to the Winchester Hawks, 8-3. They lead the division with 37 points, followed by the Hawks with 24.

The Alexandria Glens with 23 points and the Akwesasne Wolves with 21 are next up. 

Coming up this weekend, the Lions have two home games.

The will host the Prescott Flyers Saturday night, December 6 at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday afternoon, December 7, the Alexandria Glens will be in town for a 2:30 p.m. start.
