CYCLING CYC Clark Tear tore away from his only challenger Dana Henry to win the seniors division of Sunday's Maple Leaf Challenge at the US Naval Annex in Southampton.

Tear completed the nine-mile time trial in 22:19, nearly a minute faster than his rival, then went on to increase his lead still further in the 24-mile road race.

The pair were the only two cyclists competing in the senior division, with the rest completing a shorter six-mile time trial before embarking on the 24-mile road race.

Tear's road race time of 1:02:16 was the faster of the day, with novice Whayman Butterfield and veterans Jeff Payne and Vic Ball sharing the second-fastest time of 1:02:40.

Payne, who won the veterans' division, recorded the best time of the day -- 15:08 -- in the six-mile time trial. Luke Powell, who won the novice division, was second best.

Butterfield's speed on the road earned him second in the novice division, with Gerhard Ladd third, while Ball was second in the veterans' division ahead of Richard Mason.

Melanie Claude was the only woman to tackle the event.

GOLF GLF Kevin Benevides and partner Dave Purcell fired a four under par 67 to win the PGA Footjoy Pro-Scratch Championship at Castle Harbour at the weekend.

SOFTBALL SOF After downing PCC Royals 7-5 in Game 2 on Friday, Somerset Bridge Eaglettes moved closer to the women's fast pitch championship courtesy of a 7-0 shutout of their opponents on Sunday night.

Veteran pitcher Yvette Brangman baffled Royals hitters all night in tossing a four-hitter while counterpart Dawnette Daniels enjoyed no such luck, being rocked for seven runs off 11 hits.

Leading the hit parade for the Somerset team were Ann Symonds and Conchita Amory going three-for-four and two-for-four respectively and each having one RBI. Symonds' first inning double forced across what proved to be the winning run, as Debra Phillips touched home plate.

Eaglettes, who lead the best of five series 2-1, had a chance to clinch the title last night in game four.

In other weekend action C/L blasted IRM 30-4; Kempe and Whittle downed Tucker's Tees 15-12; Casualties got past PM 9-7; HP were 23-17 victors against Athletics; Social Club Blue Sox upended Warwick 5-2; BNTB Flyers beat Cablevision 14-11.
