any upset hopes Layton had to rest At Roy North Park the Royals began the task of digging out of the Region 1 basement with the shutout win Two factors keyed the Royals’ success First they put a shadow on Davis star Brian Kynaston throughout the contest Second emergency goalie Dustin Matthews was equal to the challenge of his first-evstart in the net “Garrett Bell marked him (Kynaston) out of the game and Davis was unable to get an offensive attack going” said Roy Coach Scott Snelson “Then Dustin Matthews came in and did the job when our regular goalie Heath Opheikens got hurt in practice”
