U/20 Footballers Draw In Florida
Bermuda’s Under/20 National Football Team played their one and only practice match on Sunday, Octover 17 against a U-19 select team from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Bermuda got on the score sheet first thanks to a goal from Donte Leverock during the first half. In the second-half, the Florida team scored a goal to even out the match, which then ended 1-1
The twenty man squad traveled to Guadeloupe yesterday [Oct 18] morning, and settled in for the tournament. The local team plays their first match today against the host country in group B. Two days later, Bermuda will play their second match against Antigua & Barbuda on Friday October 22nd. All games will be played at the Rene Serge Abymes stadium.
Good luck to the boys in their qualifying games today and Friday.
On a separate note – I have one question for the current president of the BFA. Why did he sign Derek Broadley to a 3 year contract at 250K per year when he knew that his ( the presidents )term was ending one year after that contract was signed?
In short, he affetively left the most recent excecutive having to manage somone for 2 years. Someone that they might (most likely ) not have hired if given the opportunity to do so. Further, with a 66% reduction in the last executives budget, this underperforming TD was a significant burden, on and off the training field.
