Arthur local league peewees lost 4-3

There was no sleeping in Saturday morning recently for the peewee local league Coffey team that travelled to Fergus for a 9am game.

The Arthur crew wiped the sleep out of its eyes and were the first on the scoreboard with a goal from Liam McArthur.

Shortly after, Joey Sheppard put one past the Centre Wellington goalie as well.

Arthur was up 2-0; however Centre Wellington answered with two goals of its own for a 2-2 score at the end of the first period.

An Arthur short-handed goal in the second period gave the lead back to Arthur.

In the third Centre Wellington put one past the goal to tie the score yet again.  With less than a minute in the game the opponents scored again.

In the final seconds of the game the team pulled its goalie to try to even the score – but Arthur was unsuccessful.

It was a close game, but a tough 4-3 loss for the group, whose record is now two wins one loss.
