David Ellis secured an early lead for Medco, running out a 15-7, 15-8, 15-9 winner over the spirited Geralyn Counsell, while a determined Mark Window overcame Storms' second-string Lynn Furtado, who played most of the right shots without being able to see off her opponent, 15-6, 15-9, 15-8.

Eddie Redmond elected to play the last tie in an attempt to seal a maximum point victory but Norman Furtado was in no mood to take defeat lying down and in a fast and furious encounter Furtado came out on top 15-9, 15-13, 15-12 to make the final score a respectable 6-3.

SAILING SLG Buddy Rego, skippering Tsunami , held on to a commanding lead to win the last race in the Bermuda Offshore Cruising Association's Fall Series in extremely mild conditions. He overhauled Tom Wadson's Swift of Paget , which had made a great start despite generally preferring stronger conditions, at Two Rock passage.

Swift of Paget also gave up her early lead to Reckless , skippered by Greg Vasic, in Class Three but was compensated by being the winner on corrected time. Tsunami was first in both Class One and Class Two on corrected time and was also the overall Fall Series winner. Pedestrian (Bill Riker) was second on corrected time in both divisions.
