The reigning league champions had few answers to Netts' goal-shooter Carolyn Binns, who put on a scoring clinic, tossing in 38 goals against a suddenly porous AICO defence.

Binns won the battle of the shooters over rival Debbie DeShields, who notched 29 goals in a losing effort.

AICO thus dropped to third behind second-placed PCC, winners by default over Olympic Panthers.

Meanwhile, Warwick Redbirds picked up their second victory of the season with a 29-26 result against Hamilton Parish. Alfreda Dill paced Warwick with 25 goals.

A lopsided affair had Cardinals blasting North Village 53-7 as Wenda Godfrey (30), Carol Bean (16) and Penny Moore (seven) enjoyed a field day.

In Sunday League play, 7-Up Netts continued to shoot rings around opponents as Running Rebels became the latest to feel their might in a 48-12 whipping.

Remaining matches saw Boulevard defeat Cooper and Lines 31-12, Olympic Panthers down Netts 30-28 and PCC overrun AICO 34-29.

Somerset Primary are the new Primary School Knockout champions after defeating Dellwood 7-3 in the final at Bernard Park.

Under the direction of coach Renee Heyliger, the west-end school surged through the quarter-final and semifinal rounds, beating West Pembroke and defending champions Francis Patton along the way.

Dellwood, who won last week's round-robin event, got past Victor Scott and Prospect en route to the final, but Freda Dill's troops found Somerset a tough proposition on this day and came up just short.

Third place went to West Pembroke with Prospect fourth. CHESS CHS Warwick Academy's Daniel Miller produced the shock of the tournament when he defeated 1992 champion Shimon Alkon of Saltus to take the senior division of the Bermuda Schools Chess Championships.

Alkon led Miller on material, but lost on time. Miller thus prevailed, finishing on three-and-a-half points -- out of a possible four -- compared to three for Alkon. Aaron Bean (two and a half) was third.

In the junior section, Adrian Lodge surged through undefeated, accumulating five points and easing to his first championship.

In the style of a true champion, Lodge bested last year's champ Ian Osteriff in the final round where each entered unbeaten.

Runner-up was Paul Wilson with four-and-a-half points.

Age group winners were Osteriff, Leroy Francis and Thomas Stowe, who tied among 10 and 11-year-olds, Joseph Kemper and Calvin Philpott in the eight-to-nine-year bracket and 12-year-olds Adam Burch and Bruno De Madeiros.

There will be a meeting for all members next Tuesday at the Chamber of Commerce to discuss the future of the chess club. SOFTBALL SOF Sunday's action in the Commercial Softball League had a plethora of matches on tap at Bernard Park.

Powerscourt demolished Anfossi & Butterfield 19-7 to get things rolling.

The deluge of runs continued as Butterfield & Steinhoff blasted Cooper & Lines 16-9, Team Fashions belted ACE Hogs 15-3 and St. David's ran out 16-3 victors over Team Xerox.

Close affairs witnessed Cock & Feather edge ACT 7-5 and Gateway Herd defeat PALMS 7-6.
