Josh Bagley, the #1 Star?The Bonny River Ratz staged a comeback Sunday night and just fell short as they ended up on the wrong end of a 8-7 decision against the rival Fundy Kingfishers. The Kingfishers got a pair of goals each from Jeff Ross and Chris Hoffman and Matty Walsh, Eric Jean, Cush Thompson and Kenny Wright chipped in singles to lead the attack. The Ratz goal scorers were Rick McFarlane, Greg Justason, Jack MacNeil, Corey Spear, Joe Stevens, Mark Johnson and Shane Lee. The Ratz scored three goals in the last 5 minutes with the last one coming with just :06 left on the clock. Jamie Harris managed to stave off the Ratz to gain the win and Warren Giesbrecht was sensational in the defeat.
After the game Ratz captain Joe Stevens felt the team had performed up to their capabilities late in the game and would like to see it all the time. “It may sound crazy that the goalie was our first star when he let in 8 goals, but it they could have 28 goals if it weren’t for Warren Giesbrecht. I don’t think we lost tonight as much as we just ran out of time. They were on the ropes and we just needed to deliver that knockout punch and the buzzer went,” added Stevens.

Matty Walsh was jubilant with the win but realizes it was not easy. "We knew that if we could keep Taylor at bay, we'd stand a good chance at winning. We had at least two guys on him all night and it paid off. I was never so glad to hear a buzzer go as I was tonight," added Walsh.
