After a 6-0 deficit at half-time, Bermuda crossed for six tries in the second half to emphasise their superiority over the Glasgow University students.

A lethargic first half by Bermuda showed the lack of playing as a team.

Meanwhile, Glasgow, by contrast, displayed excellent team skills in the first half and continually showed their superior skills in the ruck and close support work, a feature that Bermuda forwards were sorely lacking.

At the half-time break, Glasgow captain John Chadwick was ecstatic, saying: "We really played our hearts out in the first half, but unfortunately we went off the boil at the start of the second half and allowed Bermuda to score two (tries) in the first seven minutes.'' The rigorous summer training programme adopted by Bermuda coach Kieron Peacock paid dividends in the second half with Bermuda displaying more strength and stamina than Glasgow as the game wore on.

However, this was Glasgow's fourth game in a week and three injuries midway through the game created weaknesses, which were exploited well by Bermuda.

For the local side, wing Tom Dixon scored a hat-trick of tries, two of these a result of well-timed passes from Scott Correia and Dave Conway. Correia was easily the most determined Bermuda back, displaying excellent handling and tackling skills.

Captain Alistair Nicol scored Bermuda's second try after seven minutes of the second half following a line-out fumble by Glasgow. Phil Heaney added to his two conversions for the day by crossing the try line from 10 yards after a neat dummy pass.

Andrew Correia scored the game's last try after a good weaving run from 25 yards. Glasgow's only scores were a result of penalty kicks from Roy Leckie and Trevor Bushell.

Overall, it was a good performance by Bermuda, but they showed certain weaknesses that will need to be ironed out over the next couple of months leading toward the Caribbean tournament in Trinidad.

"We struggled a little in the first half, but our game plan was put right back on track at the half-time break when Kieron emphasised the need to play to the strengths that we had displayed in our team practices over the past couple of weeks,'' explained Nicol.

It is hoped that matches of this sort and the Caribbean tournament will provide the necessary level of competition to plan for the World Cup qualifier against USA Eagles in March.

English coach Peter Drewitt arrives on the Island tomorrow for the purpose of conducting clinics for local coaches in preparation for the English preliminary and intermediate coaching awards.

The first meeting will be on Wednesday at National Sports Club commencing at 6 p.m.
