MacGregor money wams fared poorly in provincial playdowns with intermediates and bantams losing last week. The Midgets remained undefeated with 21 to 2 and 11 to 8 wins over Carberry. Rick Palmer led scoring with five goals in the first game, while McKelvy and McRitchie each tallied four and two respectively across the two wins.
