Wind shortened Trafalgar Cup defended by Newport Saturday, in the waters off Bronte, a crew from the Hamilton Boating Club of Newport sought to retain the Trafalgar Cup, which they won last September when they edged a team from Bronte Harbour Yacht Club in a hardfought five-race series, Saturday marked the fifth occasion upon which area sailing clubs have vied for the cup, emblematic of the match-racing championship for the Golden Horseshoe. In order to become the first team to success fully defend .the Cup, Newport would have to defeat, not only BHYC, but also a second chal lenger from the Burlington Sailing and Boating Club. Match-racing features two identical boats competing head-to-head, with tactics playing as big a role in the outcome as does boat speed. This year the cup races were sailed in two CS30 class boats generously provided for the event by BHYC members Cheryl Etherington and Colin Bullen. The planned format was to be a double round-robin series with each of the three crews facing each of the others twice, once in each boat; The winds were light and the waters calm as the boats headed out for the first race, which was to feature the two challenging clubs. However, match-racing rules require that the competing boats enter the starting area at least two minutes before the planned start. Burlington helmsman Frank Backer failed to comply and was disqualified by the on-thewater umpires, leaving Bronte skipper Brent Muir with an uncontested first-race victory. The second race paired last year's two com peting clubs. In the pre-race manoeuvring, Bronte fouled the Newport boat and was assessed a penalty turn which would have to be performed at some point after the start but before finishing. It proved to be a moot point however, as Newport skipper John Roger won the start and slowly lengthened his lead throughout the mile-and-a-half race, leaving Muir to take his penalty after the race had already been lost. By the start of race three, the winds had strengthened considerably. This time it was the Newport skipper that was penalized for fouling the Burlington boat at the start. Once again however, the penalty proved to be of little con sequence as Roger established a lead sufficient to allow him to take his penalty turn on the third leg and still lead as the two boats rounded the final windward mark. On the last downwind leg there was a brief moment of excitement as the shackle holding the Newport spinnaker let go, dropping the sail to the deck, however another halyard was speedily attached and the chute re hoisted with the lead still safely intact. By the fourth race, the winds had built to over twenty knots. The race was a rematch of the opening pairing and gave Burlington a chance to avenge their first-race disqualifica tion against Bronte. Backer made good on the opportunity, giving Burlington their first win of the series. However, it was a case of too little, too late as the winds continued to build to the point where racing had to be discontinued for the day. With the Newport crew not having lost, and possessing wins over both of their challengers, they were awarded the Trafalgar Cup, becom ing the first two-time champion of Golden Horseshoe match-racing. (High School championship) The BHYC, in conjunction with the Ontario Sailing Association, is also hosting a high school sailing championship on Saturday, Sept. 28.

Rebels give Oakville third 0YSL team! The Oakville Rebels girls U-17 B team made history Tuesday night when they clinched the South Region Soccer League (SRSL) elite league championship. The title guarantees the Rebels automat ic promotion to the top league in the province (OYSL), marking the first time three teams from the same club have quali fied for play at this prestigious level. They w ill join the Oakville Angels, coached by Ron Wright, and the Oakville Twisters, coached by Dymtro Rewilak. The first place finish included 12 wins, 3 ties and only 1 loss, outscoring the oppo sition 46-8. This year's team has also earned hon ours by winning the West Niagara Tournament and the SRSL League Cup. The Rebels also competed in the Adidas Evergseen International Tournament in Everett, Washington, USA where they lost in the semifinals despite playing in a high er age group. Winning the league championship and gaining promotion to the OYSL is even more impressive when you consider the Rebels have only been in existence for four years. After posting incredible results as an all-star team during the 1998 season, with a record o f 33-3-2, including six tournament championships, coach Barry Shannon approached club head coach Rick Morandini, addressing the possibilities o f promotion into rep. In early 1999, tjie Oakville Rebels (then U-14) joined SRSL first division. This was the first time that the Oakville Soccer Club fielded three rep teams in the same age (See 'Rebels' page D4) Look for yo u r flyer in selected editions of today's Oakville Beaver Oakville Place Mall (905) 849-1291 Hi my name is Sieve Hunter.
