Bombers Skate Past Shamrocks With Strong Team Effort

Behind solid goaltending, stout defense and creative scoring the Bombers beat the Shamrocks 6-3 on Sunday night. After going down 1-0 early in the 2nd period the Bombers fought back and scored 4 unanswered goals. When Gary Simpson added 2 goals in 39 seconds early in the 3rd period the game was out of reach for the Shamrocks.
The Bombers also got 2 goals from Jimmy Lawson and one each from John Zimnoch and Bill Auld.

With 2 defensemen out with "flu like symptoms", Mr. Versatilty, Neil Van der horn, stepped in and led the blueliners with an aggressive performance. Van der horn intimidated oncoming fowards with his "wrecking ball" style- thwarting two on ones, drawing penalties and mixing it up on more than one occasion.

Josh Burke, playing his second game with a broken middle finger (don't ask) was as good as he has been all season holding off the skilled Shamrock fowards.

The Bombers hope to continue their solid team play on Thursday when they face the first place Mountaineers in what many see as a playoff preview.
