Early on Chameleons made adequate use of their numerical advantage and applied intense pressure, which ultimately led to a goal by Steve Moreton.

Undaunted by this setback, Rebels pushed forward themselves and were rewarded with a tally by their leading scorer Donny Moniz. Moniz whizzed his way past two defenders at the top of the circle and his mishit shot still managed to elude the goalkeeper.

The score stood level at one apiece entering the second half, but this deadlock was soon broken when Moreton was again on hand to get on the end of an acutely angled pass from a team-mate.

However, with 10 minutes remaining Mark Ray grabbed the vital equaliser to save the day for Rebels.

League leaders Wasps had no such difficulties with bottom club Polecats as they steamrolled their way to a 2-0 win.

A goal by Stanley Lee and a stunner from Simon Farrington were responsible for the margin of victory.

On a weekend of low scoring matches, PHC Canaries and North Village Longtails made up for the lack of goals as they engaged in a dandy of a match in women's league play on Saturday.

PHC eventually won 4-2 to upset the defending league champions Longtails, but not before going through a tortuous fight.

Leading 1-0 at the half, PHC allowed Longtails to equalise, but then exploded for the final result.

Emma Garon and Rhonda Rawlins each scored twice for the winners while Lisa Rawlins and Joanne Wilson replied for Longtails.

In the early game, undefeated Bluebirds tied 1-1 with PHC Canaries B.

Georgina Adlam was on target for Bluebirds who led for most of the match.

However, a late strike by Canaries' Janice Maughn ensured a share of the spoils.

Meanwhile, action on Sunday had Police Orioles dominating Coca-Cola Cardinals for a 1-0 triumph in a battle of B teams.

Police pinned their opponents in defence for vast periods and it was amazing that they could only manage the one goal, that coming off the stick of Elizabeth Kerr.

In the second game involving the A teams, there was a reversal of fortunes as Coca-Cola came out the beneficiaries of a 1-0 result against Cardinals with right-wing Edna Mae Tuzo the scorer.

Dwayne Barstowe and Dion Berkeley led Swinging Doors with 48 points each while Gary Bascome and Craig Marks chipped in with 45. Sandys were short by two players, which accounted for the lopsided score.

RUGBY RUG Teachers and Police were both successful against stern opposition on Saturday in Second XV action in the Amstel League.

Teachers remain unbeaten going into the Christmas break as they managed to scrape through against stronger opposition after Mark Smith, normally a referee and playing in his first game for the club, had kicked two penalties in the first half.

Another Smith, 17-year-old winger Craig won the Second XV Amstel Player of the Week honours for his stellar play.

Meanwhile, in other action, Police stormed to a 14-0 half-time lead and then withstood intense pressure from Mariners in the second half to win 14-7.

Mariners returned a converted try and almost got the decider when Peter Voss dropped the ball over the Police line.

However, technically Mariners had already conceded the points through their use of a number of ineligible players.

Outgoing Bermuda Rugby Football Union president Tom Watters was presented with a cedar plaque by vice-president Peter Borland, who will assume the president's duties.

Watters is relinquishing the post in January as he is set to take up employment overseas.
