ANOTHER international sporting competition could be coming to Bahrain in the shape of the International Sailing Federation's World Match Racing Tour.
The sixth annual National Day Golf Tournament proved more popular than ever this year as golfers leapt at the chance of playing on the Royal Golf Club's new 18-hole Montgomerie championship course. The pairing of Abdulla Sultan and Claus Hansen were the overall champions with a score of 82 points (Day One 41pts, Day Two 41 pts).
Sri Lanka have much at stake when they take on Bangladesh in a two-Test series starting on Friday.

Following Neil Robertson's snooker win in Bahrain the UK Championships in Telford, England were the next main event with usual pre-tournament favourite Ronnie O'Sullivan heading the bill. However, this event provided more drama both on and off the table than any other for quite some time.
It has been quite a year in the world of golf with so many exciting tournaments, new stars emerging, major champions crowned, the Ryder Cup changing hands and all this with Tiger missing for six months of the year.
If you play golf in Bahrain you will be well aware that, at times we have to deal with some seriously windy (and sandy) conditions, they certainly make life more difficult for us on the golf course, but with some small changes to your technique and a bit of knowledge you can learn to overcome the conditions to produce a winning score, or at least finish your round!
