The 2007 renewal of the John Issa/SuperClubs all-island hotels' cricket competition continued on Thursday with two matches.

The competition, coordinated by the Western Hotels Sports Association, saw Breezes Runaway Bay rebounding from an opening-round loss to sister property Starfish Trelawny Resort and Spa at the Port Rhoades Sports Club in Discovery Bay, St.Ann.

Starfish Trelawny, batting first, made 185-9 in their allotted 40 overs with Vinroy Dell top-scoring with 43.

He was supported by Omar Williams, who made 32 against captain Hensley Wilshaw who took 3-36 from his eight overs.

Breezes Runaway Bay, paced by a fighting knock from man-of-the-match Ryan McNaughton, who topscored with 51, replied with 186 for 6 in 34.3 overs.

He got good support from Martin Clarke who was left unbeaten on 48 against Jason Wilson 3-22 and former Jamaica player Lorenzo Ingram with 3-32.

At Bickersteth in St. James, Coral Cliff Hotel, who many see as strong contenders for title honours, lost by seven wickets.

They were bundled out for 94 in 19.5 overs with Wayne Gayle capturing 4-36.

In reply, St.James representative Shacon Chambers slammed the bowling for a whirlwind 84 off 38 deliveries as the winners raced to 96 for 3 in 8.5 overs.

The competition takes its usual weekend break and resumes on Wednesday, August 22 with one match when Sunset Beach Resort and Spa host Breezes Montego Bay at Bickersteth in St.James. Match time is 10.00 a.m.

The curtains came down on the 2007 Western Hotels Sports Association all-island hotels' football competition on Friday when Couples Swept Away Negril upset their more fancied opponents Sandals Whitehouse European Village Resort and Spa 7-6 on penalties.

The teams had earlier battled to an exciting 1-1 draw after full and extra time at the Eldin Washington Sports Complex on Bay Road, Little London,Westmoreland.

First-time entrants and previously unbeaten, Sandals Whitehouse started slight favourites having beaten their opponents in the preliminary round and boasting a defence that had allowed only a single goal against them all season Couples Swept Away Negril also had an excellent defence marshalled by Devon 'Bunny' Barrett and Barrington Clarke.

Kemar Dawkins gave the losers an early advantage with a goal in the 25th minute of play, but just after the half-time break, Warren Graham in the 49th minute, equalised for the new champions who gained their first hold on the Western Hotels Sports Association championship trophy.

Defending Division One champions GK4 (formerly Wackenhut) secured their third win of the 2007 Tank-Weld/Business House Five-A-Side football competition.

A brace from Kwino Brown and goals from Dion Mills, Courtney Williams and Jason Cunningham enabled them to defeat promoted 2006 Division Two winners Modern Windows and Roof 5-0 to move to ninth in the table with 11 points from eight games.

With seven matches to go GK4 are in danger of not making the top six to qualify for the quarter-final round.

In other matches, Collin McKnight scored a brace to carry Sun Island to a 2-1 victory over Appliance Traders.

Courtney Miller also scored a double as Royal Jamaica Yacht Club defeated Quality Dealers3-0.

In Division Two, BNS' undefeated run continued as a brace from Stephan Bartley carried them to a 5-0 victory over Creative Rocks & Textures and their fifth win of the season.

JUTC suffered mixed results this week, as on Monday they were defeated 6-1 by zone two leaders Country Farmhouse Soya Products. Jeremy Watt scored four goals for his team.
