by Bob LegaultThe Toronto ■ Ball Hockey Association finished its regular season schedule on Tuesday Aug. 27, and are well into the playoffs now.Going into the final game, the Greens had a one point lead in standings over the Reds and had nothing more to do but beat Gold to insure first place. The Reds on the other hand hoped the Greens would lose their game so as to give them a chance at capturing the trophy.As it turned out, Gold did beat the Greens by a 4-1 margin and left the fate of first place in the hands of the Reds.Red must have wanted that trophy real bad as they walloped the Blues 12-0, and now sit in top-spot. The final standings showed Red in first place with 27 points. Green insecond . place with 26 points, Gold in third with 25 and Blue in fourth with just 4 points total. It couldn’t have been much closer between the top three teams.And so the playoffs began pitting the Reds against the Golds and Blue against Green.Both series have gone three games in a best of five contest and in series A, Red vrs Gold, the Reds jumped into a quick 2-0 lead in games on scores of 7-3 and 5-2. The third game saw Gold play their strongest game thus far and trounced the Reds 9-1.This series has been by far the roughest of the two and with at least one game left anything can happen.Series B has Green playing Blue in a one sided, uneventful contest. Green took the series in threestraight beating Blues by scores of 3-0, 11-4, and 5-2 to thrust themselves into the finals against thewinners of the Red — Gold series for the championship and the Robert S. Legault challenge trophy.
