Renaud placed first in all three heats to extend his overall points lead to 41 over Stewart Ball.

In the Junior B Class, Tania Madeiros continued her winning ways until a mishap forced her to turn over her kart to Renaud who raced in the last heat where he again placed first, allowing Madeiros to remain as class leader over Stephen Pacheco.

The Yamaha class had a turnout of 14 karts, causing it to be split into two separate groups.

Yamaha A was dominated by Jason (Skuzzie) North who had two seconds and a first. McCannon Cassidy, the overall points leader, sustained an injury in the first heat and was forced to sit out for the second race before handing over his kart to Ray Madeiros for the third. Cassidy leads the class by 27 points over David Barboza.

The Yamaha B class was formed on the weekend because of three new drivers -- Stephen Moniz, Scott Viera and Scott Saunders -- and due to the restrictions which limit the number of karts in each class to 10. Dukey Soares and Donald Lewis have now also been placed in this class.

The 100cc Open class was controlled by Robert DeCosta who finished with two firsts and a second to maintain his lead in the class.

LADIES HOCKEY HOC Bluebirds came through with a clutch 2-0 victory over Orioles to claim the BLHA B Division title on the final day of the season.

Trailing front-running Swallows by a point heading into the match, Bluebirds needed a victory to take over top spot. And they got it when Ailsa Campbell and Candy Lee Foggo scored in the team's 11th victory in 20 games.

Swallows had a chance to put the league title away a day earlier only to be held to a 0-0 draw by the Bluebirds.

In the other B game, Orioles moved ahead of Canaries into fourth spot when they edged Canaries 3-2. Orioles led 2-1 at half-time and Kerry Quigley equalised before a last-minute winner.

Canaries had long ago wrapped up the A Division crown and went out in style with a 4-0 win over Orioles. Rhonda Rawlins, Sara Northcott, Emma Garon and Helen Farrington scored for Canaries, who scored a whopping 42 goals in 15 games, losing just once. Orioles defeated Bluebirds 3-1 in the only other contest.
