The Louis Memorial Opening Day tournament will be held on Sunday, May 8, with an alternate date set for May 15.

The tournament normally signals the start of Bermuda's game fishing season and following tradition, boats will assemble -- flags bedecked -- at Albouy's Point in time for a 7.30 a.m. fleet parade that will have competitors cruise to Two Rock passage before dispersing for selected fishing grounds.

Weigh-in stations will be at Mangrove Bay Public Dock and Market Wharf in St.

George's. Boats are required to report by 5.30 p.m.

The tournament is open to both residents and visitors, with entry forms available from the Department of Tourism's front desk and various fishing tackle stores, namely Flybridge Tackle, Four Winds tackle and the Sportsman's Shop.

Entries must be returned by noon on May 6.

For more information contact Tom Smith at 238-0112.

GOLF GLF The Bermuda Golf Association will continue to accept entries for the Bermuda Senior Championship until 5 p.m. on May 27.

Interested persons can contact BGA secretary Tom Smith at 238-1367 regarding the event which will take place at Riddell's Bay Golf and Country Club on Wednesday and Thursday, May 4 and 5.

SOCCER SOC Fans can witness a piece of nostalgia on Sunday when Dandy Town and Boulevard players from the 1970's return to action at Bernard Park at 4 p.m.

Several former stars will be on hand, with Oscar Samuels, Allan Webb and Curtis Minors leading the Boulevard charge against a Dandy Town outfit featuring such notables as Derek Wellman, Ernest Smith and Malcolm Dill.

Samuels will captain the old Blazers while Wellman is set to lead the Hornets into battle.

The match, along with a women's game pitting Rude Girls against Dandy Stars at 2 p.m., is being organised Leroy Wilson with the idea of making the event an annual affair.

"I had a few trophies just lying around and decided to make use of them,'' said Wilson, who has played for Town and has coached both the women's teams playing on Sunday.

"We want to keep the old boys in touch as well as get more women out and keep them interested.

"A six-a-side tournament for the women over the summer is also a possibility.'' Wilson, along with well-known Town supporter Jeffrey Trott, are supplying prizes for the games.

Any funds raised will be used to fortify the North Village youth programme.

Meanwhile, there will be a training session for all of the Dandy Town players tonight at 6.30 p.m.

ATHLETICS ATH Leshon Gibson of Bermuda High School did not break the Under 15 Girls discus record held by Sonya Smith during this week's Secondary School Track and Field Championships after all.

Meet officials originally had declared Gibson as the new holder after her throw of 79 feet, five inches, compared to the stated mark of 78 feet, four inches for Smith.

However, further investigation revealed the actual record set by Smith in 1977 to be 139 feet, one inch.

Thus, Smith still holds eight Inter-school records.
