The Wingham Midget LL team over came Goderich Jan. 10 to get back on track with a win 4-3.

This game didn’t come easy With Goderich starting off the scoring at the start of the first period only to have Wingham come back with a goal at the last few min. of the period with a pass from Irvine to Pham to tie it up. After struggling to get it by the Goderich goalie in the second period Hoy put it in assisted by M Smith but not without a battle at the net. Period 3 got to be a real battle between the teams with Goderich netting the next 2 goals making Wingham work even harder to get ahead. But they came back with 2 more goals Bross from M.
