Bermuda Regiment Sergeant's Mess walloped the Officer's Mess by a colossal 155 runs to claim bragging rights in this year's derby at Warren Simmons Field in Somerset.

Shannon Raynor hammered a blistering 154 not out and Walter Brangman chipped in with 29 as the Sergeant's Mess put up a massive 221 for two in their allotted 20 overs to defend.

Raynor lived up to his nickname 'Mad Dog' at the crease as he clubbed 16 sixes and nine fours during his ruthless knock.

Seamers David Madeiros (one for 30) and Robert Spurling (one for 39) led the Officer's Mess attack that came in for some harsh treatment.

In reply, Officer's Mess crumbled to a paltry 66 all out in 14 overs, with seamer Troy Hayward snatching astonishing figures of five for six and Brangman grabbing two for one.

Brian Gonsalves scored nine runs to top the Officer's batting, with 20 runs coming in extras.

Commenting on his team's convincing win, Sergeant Major Randy Raynor remarked: "We had to separate the boys from the men."

• A star-studded Bermuda Department of Corrections Select returned home victorious earlier this week.

The tourists defeated hosts Cayman Islands in two 35-over matches to remain unbeaten in the Caribbean.

Bermuda's representatives recorded a dramatic, six-run win in their opening encounter with Aaron Adams (27), Charlie Marshall (18) and Daniel Morgan (17) getting among the runs as the tourists posted 126 all out.

Cayman Islands replied with 120 for eight in their quota of overs, with Conrad Lister (three for 22) and Ryan Belboda (two for 14) doing all the damage with the ball.

With one hand on the coveted trophy, Bermuda Department of Corrections were also made to sweat it out in the second contest which they eventually won by a single run.

The tourists racked up 151 for nine in 35 overs with Social Club pair Kenny Phillip (29) and Charlie Marshall (19) and Southampton Rangers seamer Belboda (16 not out) all enjoying good starts.

Former Devonshire Colts striker Craig Smith then feasted on the Cayman batting, claiming four for 25 off seven overs, and received solid support from Marshall, who took two for 32.

It was Bermuda's third year competing in the annual triangular tournament. Jamaica did not compete this year, leaving the Caymans and Bermuda to battle for top honours.

"Winning this trophy was special. This is our first victory of any kind in this tournament," commented elated team member Donald Norford.

"The field conditions were difficult. You had to run just about all of your runs with boundaries very difficult to come by."
