Bermuda crush Turks and Caicos 55-3

HAMILTON, Bermuda, (CMC) – Hosts Bermuda thrashed Turks and Caicos 55-3 in a lop-sided North American and Caribbean Rugby Association (NACRA) Championship match at the National Sports Centre on Saturday.Bermuda, who led 17-0 at half-time, ran in seven tries, with Patrick Callow, making his debut at fly-half, adding 20 points with his boot.
TCI’s lone score came seven minutes from the end when Gareth Butler slotted over a penalty.
The visitors paid for their indiscipline up front with two of their players – Bjorn Griffith and Hendricks Joseph – sent to the sin bin.
Dan Cole scored the first of his two tries after just 36 seconds as Bermuda took early charge of the game against relative newcomers to the international game.
Durnferd Davis also scored two tries each for the home side, while Paul Dobinson, Tom Healy and player-coach Roedolf van der Westhuizen also crossed in a dominant display.
TCI went into the game – their first against Bermuda in the NACRA competition – with their captain Joe Ryan admitting his side “don’t really know what we’re up against”.
