Under-19s end on a high note

Bermuda Under-19s played three matches in a rain-effected Sir Garfield Sobers International Tournament in Barbados last week.

The Bermuda Development team, competing in the 40 over competition for a fifth year, beat St.Clair but lost to the Barbados Cricket League (BCL) and Dulwich College.

They were defeated by the BCL by 41 runs with Kamaul Leverock top scoring for the visitors with 42.

In their next game, Bermuda lost to Dulwich College by five wiickets with Shea Pitcher hitting 34. Against St.Clair, in Bermuda's final match, they won by six wickets. Somerset Cup Match player Deunte Darrell struck an unbeaten on 32.

Senior international Joshua Gilbert and Christian Burgess joined up with the team in the Caribbean on Tuesday as the team continues their preparations for the 2011 America's Under-19 Regional Tournament and Under-19 World Cup qualifiers.

Adams wins Tour event

Port Royal was the host of the latest Jack Daniels Golf Tour event and lived up to its reputation of being the toughest on the Island with many of the professionals struggling on the new layout.

Last Monday's favourite Scott Roy, struggling with six double bogey's, never really got going while Daniel Augustus, who finished third, shot a 79.

It was Paul Adams, head professional at Tucker's Point who finished on top, despite missing a few short putts and making a nervy triple bogey on the last. He won by four shots with a three over par 74.

Adams said: "I was disappointed to make a seven on the last, as it turned out I could have made a 10 and still won.

"I had it to two under after 11 and it is a shame that I could not keep it going and post a really good score"

Veteran Bobby MacRonald, 60, shot a creditable 78, while fit-again Eric West (83) made his Tour debut.
