I really don’t understand how that was 4th as they never fell etc.. but dam I feel proud!
Well done!
Fantastic,
Bermuda is behind you, as you make us all extremely proud.
Bermuda is behind her? Yeah right…only when she’s on the world stage and doing well do we claim her as our own daughter of the soil and make her Bermudian roots known. Where were we when she was starting out and couldn’t get the support of her own country having to turn to another. She should be representing Bermuda not France!
