The Nashua Cape Cobras sneaked a five-wicket victory over the Fidentia Warriors in MTN Domestic Championship action at Sahara Park Newlands on Friday evening. The game looked anything but won when the Cobras found themselves in trouble at 58/4, with Adam Bacher, Andrew Puttick, Herschelle Gibbs and JP Duminy back in the hut in pursuit of the Warriors' score of 233/6. But former Proteas stand-in skipper Ashwell Prince and all-rounder Vernon Philander knuckled down, the pair contributing 119 for the fifth wicket. Prince — who scored 78 off 84 balls — was dismissed 60 runs short of his team's winning total, with Philander and skipper Thami Tsolekile knocking off the remaining runs. Left-arm seamer Lonwobe Tsotsobe picked up two wickets — including the dangermen Gibbs and Duminy — whilst fellow opening bowler Lyall Meyer also grabbed a pair of wickets.
PITTSFIELD Police are searching for four to five black or Hispanic men who broke into a woman's duplex on Onota Street shortly before midnight yesterday and assaulted her, said Capt. John T. O'Neil. The woman reported that the men kicked in her front door, entered her house and demanded money, O'Neil said. When she told them that she did not have any money, they punched her repeatedly before fleeing on foot, O'Neil said. The woman was transported to Berkshire Medical Center, where she was treated for a black eye and a facial laceration, O'Neil said. The woman was shaken, O'Neil said, but later was released from the hospital. Detectives Thomas N. Bowler and John E. Gray are the lead investigators on the case, O'Neil noted. Anyone who might have seen anything suspicious on Monroe or Onota streets around the time of the attack is asked to call police at (413) 448-9700.

Jim Giuffra, owner of Amador Fine Tune and AFT Customs in Martell, is determined to make a name for his business in the motorcycle world. And he is doing a great job.
Most recently a motorcycle built by Giuffra, with the help of Ron Abel and Melissa Kirkpatrick, was awarded a first place most radical at Rat's Hole Show in Sturgis, S.D., on Aug. 11 and placed third for metric at the World Championship of Custom Bike Building, also in Sturgis, on Aug. 7, the same show in which an AFT Customs motorcycle took home first place in 2005. While in Sturgis, the builders were also invited to participate in the Legends Top 50 Show, where they were the only metric bike builders included in the top 50 builders in the world.
As for placing third at the World Championships, Giuffra said, "There was some stuff on the bike that was so new people didn't realize what was going on."
The bike has three firsts that have never been seen in the motorcycle industry, Giuffra added.
