the Mid Ocean Club's Founder's Trophy tournament.

Curtis and Hull combined for a net score of 60 during yesterday's first round, which gave them a one stroke lead over two pairs.

The tandems of Russell Cheetham and Greg Cheetham, and Hugh Barit and Rick Pagnani each registered totals of 61 as conditions proved fair at the Tucker's Town course.

Gross leaders following the opening round of action were Ricky Cox and Doug Clark at 66, followed by the teams containing Charles Tseckares and Will Fuller, and Robert Vallis and James Shackleton, both carding 67.
