The Canada Legends have been crowned the 2026 USA Legends Over 60 International Quad Series champions after a composed six-wicket victory over Andre Manders and the Rest of the World XI.
In a high-stakes final at the Wright Cricket Field in Woodley Park, the Canadian side produced a clinical all-round performance to secure the title. Having won the toss and elected to bowl, the Canada Legends' decision was immediately justified by a disciplined opening spell that stifled the Rest of the World's top order.
The international select side eventually posted a total of 198 from their allotted 42 overs, anchored by a resilient unbeaten 79 from Aadil Chagla. Bermudian veteran Andre Manders looked set to play a major supporting role, contributing a steady 26 before his innings was cut short by a sharp run-out. Rohit Roy proved to be the most potent weapon in the Canadian bowling arsenal, finishing with remarkably economical figures of one for 12 from his six overs.
The run chase was handled with veteran poise by the Canadian batsmen, who reached their target of 199 with four wickets down and overs to spare. Steve Nobrega led the charge with a match-winning 73, successfully navigating a testing middle period where the Rest of the World threatened a breakthrough.
Chetan Shah was the standout performer with the ball for the Rest of the World, claiming two for 30 from a full nine-over quota. Manders, returning to the attack to stem the flow of runs, finished with figures of none for 31 from his four overs. Despite the late pressure, the Canada Legends remained unfazed, closing out the victory to lift the Quad Series trophy and cement their status as the premier over-60s side in the region.

IslandStats.com
The high-octane world of SuperStock racing returned to the Florida coast as qualifying concluded for the Monster Energy St. Pete Powerboat Grand Prix presented by Visit St. Pete-Clearwater.
In a field defined by blistering speeds and tactical precision, the American duo of Chad Rudesill and Rusty Williams set the standard in Say Less. The pair delivered a masterclass in offshore navigation to clock a time of 26:24.56, securing the top spot on the grid. They were followed closely by Dale McEachern and Austin Blocker in Drinkelo.com, who finished just ten seconds off the pace, while Daren Kittredge and Grant Bruggemann rounded out the top three in Northwing.
The afternoon proved to be a significant showcase for Bermudian talent, with two island crews testing their mettle against the international elite. Leading the charge for the Gombey contingent were David Selley and Steven Bridges in Team Bermuda S-25. The pair produced a remarkably consistent run to stop the clock at 26:51.24, earning a highly respectable fourth-place start for the main event.
Further down the field, Luis Martin and Andy Stoneham made their presence felt in Nuff Said Bermuda S-12. Despite the challenging surface conditions in the Gulf, the veteran duo safely navigated the course in 28:10.24 to secure the 13th spot on the leaderboard.
With qualifying now in the books, the focus shifts to race day, where the Bermudian boats will look to leverage their starting positions to climb the rankings in what promises to be a grueling test of endurance and mechanical reliability.

Canada Legends edge out Manders & Rest of the World

Canada 238/5 Rest of the World 213/4
Canada won by 25 Runs
Andre Manders produced a standout all-round performance, but it was not enough to prevent the Rest of the World XI from falling to a 25-run defeat against the Canada Legends in the Over 60 International Quad Series.
On a high-scoring afternoon at the Severn Cricket Field in Woodley Park, California, the Rest of the World won the toss and elected to field. However, the decision allowed Canada to showcase their batting depth as they posted a formidable total of 238 for five from their 45 overs.
Kenny Ghirdarry was the architect of the Canadian innings, falling just short of a century with a commanding 93. Despite the onslaught, Manders remained the most effective weapon in the Rest of the World’s bowling arsenal. The Bermudian veteran delivered a disciplined nine-over spell, including one maiden, to return figures of two for 42—comfortably the pick of the bowlers.
The chase began with promise, and the Rest of the World appeared to be in a strong position following a century partnership for the third wicket. Manders and Greg Caracciolo —playing as teammates in the international select side—shared a resilient 111-run stand that looked set to guide their team home. Manders was particularly effective, striking five boundaries in a composed 53 from 71 deliveries.
However, the momentum shifted significantly when Ghirdarry was forced to retire hurt on 60. His departure left the Rest of the World with a mountain to climb, and despite Manders' anchor role, the international side finished their 45 overs on 213 for four.
Canada’s Rohit Roy proved to be the difference with the ball, maintaining relentless pressure to finish with figures of two for 24 from his six overs. The result leaves the Rest of the World looking to regroup ahead of their final round-robin fixtures, while Canada solidifies their standing as the team to beat in Los Angeles.

Manders & Rest of the World Stun USA Legends in Opener
IslandStats.com
Rest of the World 134/6 USA Legends 115
Rest of the World Won by 19 Runs
Andre Manders played a pivotal role with both bat and ball as the Rest of the World XI secured a hard-fought victory over the USA Legends to open their campaign in the 2026 Over 60 International Quad Series.
In a low-scoring but high-intensity encounter at the Wright Cricket Field in Woodley Park, the USA Legends won the toss and elected to field, a decision that initially seemed inspired. The American bowling attack, led by a clinical David Martil, applied relentless pressure throughout the 45-over innings. Martil was the standout performer, returning remarkable figures of two for 12 from his six overs to keep the Rest of the World’s scoring in check.
Despite the early wickets, Simon Balcombe provided the necessary backbone for the international side, anchoring the innings with a top score of 32. Manders chipped in with a vital five runs in the middle order, helping his side navigate a difficult surface to post a modest total of 134 for six.
The USA Legends began their chase with confidence, spearheaded by a commanding half-century from Mahmood Shahid. Shahid’s 65 appeared to have the hosts in the driving seat, but the Rest of the World’s bowling unit produced a disciplined second-half display to trigger a dramatic collapse.
Sivaselvanathan Harindren was the catalyst for the comeback, ripping through the middle order to claim four wickets for just 19 runs. He was expertly supported by Andy Gregory, whose nine-over spell yielded four wickets for 35 runs, while Manders maintained the pressure from the other end. The Bermudian international finished with tidy figures of one for 26 from his five overs, helping to restrict the scoring as the USA Legends were eventually bowled out for 115.
The 19-run victory provides a perfect start for Manders and his teammates in the round-robin tournament. With fixtures against Canada Masters and the USA Legends Hawks still to come this week in Los Angeles, the Rest of the World have established themselves as early contenders for a place in the series final.
