On Friday December 18 the league leading Kingston City Cougars came to the Si Miller Arena
for a 9 o'clock game against the Royals. Devon Eveleigh was in nets for Cornwall. Dale Fergeson Was out with a knee injury. After a
first period of end to end action no team was able to score. In the second the Cougars took
a 1 to nothing lead on a rebound that just beat Devon. It was 1-0 for Kingston after 2.
Early in the third Kingston scored on a shot from the point which Devon was screened on. Then as
Cornwall was starting to make the game interesting Andrew Banville was assessed a very questionable
ten minute misconduct when in the second period the ref let a holding the stick that was right in front of him go.
With their top center in the box until 20 seconds left Cornwall was unable to score but they were
able to put some pressure on the Cougars and forcing their goalie to make a few difficult saves.
