The Shamrocks defeated the Bombers on a late goal in third period to win 4-3 on Thursday night. The game proved to be a hard fought back and forth battle. The Shamrocks scored the first two goals of the contest but the Bombers bounced back with goals from Brian Kostrowski and Jean Eric Hoyer' in the last 1:54 of the first to tie the game.
A seeing eye puck found its way in the net for John Zimnoch in the second to give the Bombers the lead. But the luck of the irish was on the Shamrock side and they were able to tie the game and then score the eventual winner with 5:29 left to play in the game.
A late flurry with the Bomber goalie pulled almost worked as Rober'Auld and Gary Simpson both had looks at the net that were stopped by the Shamrock goaltender. Tempers flared at the end of the contest when a Shamrock forward pushed Bomber Neil Van der horn's head to the ice in "an attempt to get up off the ice" during a scramble on the boards. The story lost some credibilty when replays showed the "attempt to get up off the ice" required numerous tries.
The finish marred what otherwise was a fairly well played contest. I know this reporter is looking forward to an intersting game the next time these two clubs meet.
