Outskating and outplnying the visitors from the opening whistle the locals rang up a 4-0 lead in the‘ first twenty rninutcs of play, out- scored their opponents 4-3 in the middle session after the losers had countered two goals in the space of the opening 56 seconds as the win- ners playcd shorthandcd and then wound up their evenings work by holding iiu-ir opponents even in the final canto as both squads came through with a brace of counters.

Both squads were visibly aired from the fast clip of the two open- ing periods and as a result play lflllgcd somewhat in spots, but this was more than made up for in oth- er moments as the players opened out wide ln search of goals. Abbie: repliedwith goals at 8.06 and 14.11 on individual efforts by Delghan and Hogan both counters coming as plavcrs milled about the Abbie cage.

And the winners deserved their victory fully. One of their goals was 0f the lucky variety as a Highland- er player dcflected the disc into his own net but in the second session Abbies had what appeared like a certain score called back as the goal-judge ruled the rubber had not entered the cage. But although win- ning going away the game produc- ed lots of heavy bumping and clev- er combination work with sensat- ional goal-tending thrown ln. High- landers, in all justice to them, ap- peared tired after their long train trip but nevertheless kept plugging away hi1 the time.

Ab-bies on the other hand skated like demons all night icing tw-o fast forward lines and throwing up a stubborn defence in front of their young goalie Cantwell who last night won his spurs in his opening test. outside school games.
