O'LEARY - It was a high-scoring game and a strong finish for the Tignish Aces Saturday night, but the O'Leary Guardian Pharmacy Maroons took the win 9 - 6.

O'Leary added two more and Keough added another to bring the score to 7 - 2 after the second period.
The Aces poured it on in the final stanza scoring four times, two of these by Sandy Shea (2-1). But the Maroons were not done yet either and added two more to clinch the win - one of them by Kory Cooke (2-2), his second of the game.
Darcy Harris (2-1) also scored a pair for O'Leary.
The Maroons other goal scorers were Simon Smallman (1-1) and Andre Howard (1-1) and Jeff MacIsaac.
