two-match tour of Ontario.

Three weeks before a crucial World Cup qualifying match, the squad followed up their 87-0 win over visiting crew members from the British frigate HMS London by defeating Burlington Centaurs 31-20 and drawing 27-27 with a Niagara Region select team.

Bermuda dominated both matches against top provincial opposition -- a good omen for the start of the upcoming Island league season, team spokesman John Williams said.

Scott Correia, Andrew Correia, Alvin Harvey and Steve Given scored tries in Burlington on Saturday, while Phil Heaney added four conversions and a penalty kick.

In Mississauga on Sunday, Given, Heath Robinson, Sean Kelly and Bobby Hurdle scored the tries against the Niagara Regional Invitational XV. Russ Webber added a penalty and two conversions.
