Compiled by Kelly Carrington The Flin Flon Kinsmen Bantam AA Bombers took Bronze in a provincial tournament held earlier this month in The Pas. Taking Swan River by storm in the round-robin play, the Bombers came out on top 8-0, but later lost to the Southeast Blizzard with the opposite score, 0-8. The loss against the Blizzard put the Bombers in the quarterfinals against Portage La Prairie. The Bombers were really on top as they won 6-4 in one of their best games of the year. The semifinal action had them against the strong Morden team. The Bombers went down fighting hard with a 6-1 loss. In the Bronze medal game, the Bombers faced the ever-tough Thompson King Miners. The Bombers and Miners had faced off in two other tournaments this season, with two wins on Flin Flon's side. The Bombers made it a third win as they defeated Thompson for the Bronze. The win put Flin Flon third in Manitoba and helped them end a successful season. Previous to the provincials, the Bombers had won a tournament in Melville in November and took first place in a Swan River tournament in December. They also won a third place finish in their home tournament in January.
