Minister DeSilva previously confirmed the donation was being made in his personal capacity, saying, “I think the guys have done really, really well. I personally appreciate the work the players and personnel have put in.”

Making their first ever debut in the Gold Cup, the Gombey Warriors scored a total of four goals against some of Concacaf’s most elite teams, who all represent nations with millions of people.

The team won their last game against Nicaragua 2-0, and made very strong showings against Haiti and Costa Rica, with Bermuda footballers claiming a Man of the Match award, a High Mileage Player of the Game award, and a Save of the Game award.

    Zane, is all about himself…and the way he carries on in the house needs to be addressed.

  3. mark says:

    you couldn’t just give it to them… you needed it to be publicly broadcasted? i guess everything has to be a photo op

  4. La Verdad says:

    Well done Minister Desilva. Hope other politicians follow your example. Ignore the Trump supporter. Anything to try and score political points for the defunct OBA.

  5. Amazing says:

    And amazing that someone cannot make a generous donation without all of you trolls taking a shi* all over it! Get a life trolls! Thanks Minister DeSilva for all that you do!

    • truthertz says:

      Remember how the PLP trolls commended the OBA for fixing the Somerset Cricket Club wall just before Cup Match last year?

      Me either.

  6. Joe Bloggs says:

    Well done Zane. There will be critics, but you have helped football in Bermuda and no one can nay say that.

    • Anbu says:

      Nay.

    • wahoo says:

      So why did he choose football? Did WE not give football a major taxpayer funded cash injection a few years ago? Whatever his reasons he wants to be a politician so he should suck up whatever comes his way.
