Ladies Day

Followers of the sport of kings, otherwise known as horse racing, will be aware that it is very common for major festivals to feature a special day on which the women get a chance to display their new outfits. The best known of these is Ladies day at Royal Ascot, and although our Champions are saving their very best for today's closing ceremony, it was yesterday that play got under way in the match between North America and Europe.

The final of the Men's contest is between the Olympiad champions Italy and Indonesia, the hosts of the next Bermuda Bowl and Venice Cup. The USA face Poland in the play off for third place in the Open series.

As we begin the Final day, Italy and North America have small advantages, USA a slightly larger one.
