Blacks Harbour, NB - After falling behind 4-1, the Bonny River Ratz clawed back to within one goal but couldn't get the equalizer. The Ratz fell 4-3 to the Milltown Moose in Sunday night FIHL action. Eric McDonald netted a pair including the winner and Jeremy Leavitt and Chris Nelson got singles to pace the visiting Moose. Jack McNeil, Joe Stevens and Jim Buchanan replied for the Ratz. 

The win put the Moose within a whisker of the Ratz who are in 3rd place. The Moose are 7-7-1 for 15 points while the Ratz are 7-6-1 for 15 points but played one less game.

The Fundy Kingfishers downed the Charlotte County Bears 9-5 to tie the Blacks Harbour Timberwolves with 26 points for top spot but the Wolves have played less games.

The league resumes Tuesday night with the aforementioned Timberwolves taking on St. George XXX at 7:40 and the Ratz playing the Bears at 9:10.
