Scorer -- Howard Berkeley Umpires -- R.Talbot, J.Swan CYCLING CYC Dayna Henry is set to return to Bermuda next week after spending most of the year in the United States training and racing.

Henry was last in Bermuda in May when he competed in the Bermuda Grand Prix.

It has been something of an up and down year for Henry who started off the season with Elliot Hubbard's old team, One Plus. However things did not work out to his satisfaction and part way through the season he moved to the West Coast and has been training and racing with Team Veloce, based in San Mateo, California.

Since that time he has put together some strong performances which have resulted in him being upgraded from Category Three to Category Two, often riding with top cyclists.

Henry has recently relocated to the Baltimore area and has been training with Snow Valley, one of the US amateur teams that came to the Bermuda Grand Prix this year. He is having discussions with Snow Valley about joining the team for the 1998 season.

EQUESTRIAN RAH Several young equestrians recently received the chance to show off their riding skills at a gymkhana camp in England.

A group of seven girls, aged between nine and 14 years, attended the Pony Club Camp in Suffolk where for five days they practised their skills and made new friends.

The riders, all members of the Lee Bow Riding Centre in Devonshire, were accompanied to the camp by manager Lee Bow and head-instructor Gregory Block.

"They were chosen as representatives because of their elite riding talents,'' said Block.

After five days of training, the girls then participated in a final competition which consisted of show-jumping, dressage and cross-country events.

At the end of the day, the scores were totaled revealing two rosettes for Bermuda -- Michelle Lines and Ashley Aitken both came second in their respective divisions. Other competitors were Laura Grant, Rebecca Ezekiel, Talia Arandejelovic, Shernelle Moniz and Kiera Aitken.

All of the girls passed the Pony Club D test, which examined their basic riding, horse care and stable management skills. The Pony Club D test is the first in a string of tests which credit young riders' qualifications. "They all did extremely well,'' said Block. "They were competing against other kids who got to ride their own horses and had received a lot more training. They made us very proud.'' GOLF GLF Michael Simms slumped to a final-round 78 and finished in a four-way tie for second place at an American Junior Golf Association tournament in Massachussetts.

Competing against golfers aged 15-18 from 14 states and Canada, Simms led after the first round but was a stroke back of Ken Lewis heading into Thursday's action at the Seabury Country Club in Cape Cod.

Lewis finished with 54-hole totla of 219 to finish five strokes ahead of Simms, Jon Rusk of Pennsylvania, Matt Gibb of Toronto and Mike Mitchell of Massachussetts.
