HAMIL­TON, Bermu­da-Ian Hen­der­son scored 13 of Bermu­da's points, de­spite be­ing sin-binned, as they main­tained their re­gion­al su­prema­cy by beat­ing Guyana 18-0 in yes­ter­day's Caribbean Rug­by Cham­pi­onship fi­nal at the Na­tion­al Sports Cen­tre. Bermu­da, who de­feat­ed Guyana 11-0 in last year's fi­nal in Guyana, dom­i­nat­ed the first half in over­cast but hu­mid con­di­tions, run­ning up a 13-0 in­ter­val lead, as they kept it tight to blunt the vis­i­tors' run­ning game. Hen­der­son gave Bermu­da the lead with a fourth-minute penal­ty and he dou­bled the ad­van­tage with a sec­ond penal­ty on 19 min­utes. Host­ing the tour­na­ment fi­nal for the first time, Bermu­da tight­ened their grip in the 27th minute when David Pringle went over in the right cor­ner for a try con­vert­ed by Hen­der­son. Hen­der­son missed his eas­i­est kick of the half on 37 min­utes and short­ly be­fore the break was yel­low-card­ed by Mex­i­can ref­er­ee Pablo Sep­tien for a foul, pun­ish­ing the home side af­ter he had warned them over a se­ries of of­fences. Tom Ed­wards, deputis­ing for Hen­der­son, then missed a penal­ty to in­crease Bermu­da's lead. (CMC)
