Robinson, who led the last IYT team in Holland in 1995 and is now playing as an amateur for Ashford, hit 65 not out last weekend against Cobham in the Slazenger League in Surrey.

In the past month the team's schedule has been hit by rain but the club spent a week playing a series of friendly matches in South Devon.

Robinson tallied scores of 29 not out, 34, 18 not out and 13 while his best bowling figures were two for 12 from six overs in a drawn match with Guildford.

SAILING SLG Conditions were ideal for Bermuda Offshore Cruising Association's Longtail Race last Saturday and Sunday when Buddy Rego's Tsunami took the overall honours.

Thirteen boats lined up at the start off Pompano where spectators witnessed some interesting manoeuvres as several boats tried desperately to avoid going over the line early. Tsunami was the only victim after being forced the wrong side of the committee boat, allowing Derek Ratteray's Taxi to assume an early lead.

While most of the fleet headed well out from the reefs and delayed hoisting spinnakers, Tom Wadson, skippering Swift of Paget , was clear about his strategy and had his spinnaker flying within seconds of crossing the line.

The steady breeze ensured good progress along the South Shore and the positions soon became established with Tsunami working her way into the lead followed by Taxi and Silver Spur , skippered by Ed Faries.

In the Cruising class, Temptation (Claude Guay), easily distinguishable with his twin headsails, led the way, finishing some 20 minutes ahead of second placed Lullaby , skippered by Dave Roblin.

Sailing conditions were similar on Sunday for the race back to Hamilton.

The final results on corrected time saw Tsunami as the overall winner with Tonka in second place.

In class III, Swift of Paget was the winner with Tempest taking second, while in Cruising class Temptation took the honours and was never really challenged by second placed Lullaby .

The next BOCA race will be held on Sunday, July 20.

BOWLING BOW The ongoing American Airlines Bowling Tournament has reached its halfway mark with 55 of the 144 competitors on the threshold of qualifying for the finals.

All of them have placed in the top 15 during the past five weeks of the tournament, and all must participate in at least six of the nine weekly events to qualify for the finals. Four weekly tournaments remain.

Tournament organiser Lionel Dowling said most of the 55 had already bowled every week during the past five weeks, leaving them just one more week to qualify. Cash prizes are awarded each week and at the end of the tournament for perfect attendance.

Conrad Lister, Harold Minors and Troy Richardson were the outstanding prize winners this week with Lister claiming high scratch game (233), high scratch series (673), and placing third in the handicap division (673). Minors was second in the handicap division with a 688 series and also won the high handicap game with 266. Mike McCallum claimed high scratch game with a score of 230.

Troy Richardson was the top man in the handicap division as he combined games of 220, 247 and 234 for a 701 total.

SWIMMING SW The summer ocean swim series continues with a two-mile race along the Causeway this Sunday.

The normally calm waters along the side of the Causeway are expected to offer almost pool-like conditions.

Sponsored by Pepperidge Farm, the series is organised by Bermuda Triathlon Association and the Masters Swim Association.
