St. David's Burton Outerbridge carried his all-round show to Flatts on Saturday, almost singlehandedly destroying his unwitting hosts.

Taking advantage of the limited confines at Flatts field, Outerbridge got the young Islanders' off to a flying start, blasting a robust 53 runs including seven fours opening the innings. He then came on as the fourth bowler used during the home team's innings and proceeded to steamroll through the batting line-up, collecting five wickets for a mere 10 runs.

However, there were a few other shining stars on the day for St. David's as skipper Scott Tucker and Rudell Pitcher also recorded fine performances in helping their side to an astounding total of 233 from just 30 overs.

Tucker finished as the top bat scoring all but five of his 71 runs through boundaries -- nine fours and five sixes. Pitcher was likewise in a very belligerent mood, slamming 14 fours to go with one six in his knock of 66 as the Flatts bowlers were taken to task.

Dennis Zuill was the most successful bowler for Flatts, grabbing three wickets in his six overs.

The home side's batting crumbled under the barrage by St. David's after openers Nasir Maynard (10) and Place (12) had given them a 24-run stand.

Wickets fell steadily with no other batsmen able to reach double figures.

Ankoma Cannonier continued to impress with the ball, taking two wickets, while Jevon Foggo had one.

Somerset 58 Western Stars 59-4 Little Willis Raynor claimed wickets with his first and fourth balls and finished with four for 11 to go with a critical run-out in leading Stars past Somerset at St. John's field.

Somerset, with skipper Michael Donawa in commanding form, were set for a competitive total at 37 for two when Raynor was the fourth bowler introduced.

Wolde Gilbert, who took two for 12, made the early breakthroughs.

But Raynor, who stands just over stump level, trapped Damon Thompson lbw for seven and then bowled Marco Butterfield for a duck.

On the third ball of the next over, Raynor dismissed Donawa with a direct throw at the batting end as a quick single was attempted.

Somerset were suddenly 38 for five with top bat Donawa back in the pavilion having hit just one four, but possessing the strokeplay that promised a big innings.

The rest of the Somerset batting fell by the wayside as spinner Ian Armstrong picked up two wickets in his first over and finished with two for four.

Stars passed the asking total in the 16th over, helped undoubtedly by wayward Somerset bowling that gave up 21 extras, including 13 wides.

Justin Robinson was Stars' top bat with a solid 18 before taking a swipe and being bowled when the scores were level. JahJah Millett made 10. Thompson took two for seven from 4.3 overs for Somerset.

With the return to Bermuda of Senior National Cricket Association coach Doug Ferguson, the original course to certificate club coaches will soon be concluded.

The board intends to organise a second course to enable all local clubs to nominate at least one member who may subsequently become qualified as a cricket coach. As with the initial course, there is no charge for participation.

The programme is aimed at club cricketers of recognised ability and experience, and involves attendance for 20 hours of instruction plus two 15-minute sessions for the assessment of practical skills (in both group and net coaching) and a short written theoretical test.

DOUG FERGUSON -- The English coach, pictured with Cleveland's Wayne Smith during his first visit, is back to conduct further courses as well as prepare the national squad for the upcoming England tour.
