Dandy Town Draw Against Defence Force
The Bermuda Football Association’s Defending Premier Division Champions Dandy Town Hornets took on Defence Force from Trinidad in the first round of the Caribbean Club Champions Cup tonight [Mar.10] at the BAA Field. The game ended in a draw 1-1.

The Dandy Town Hornets took the lead in the 22nd minute when a corner from Damon Ming was headed into the back of the net by Jahmel Swan.
In the 30th minute a good build up resulted in the Defence Force equalizer, a ball played across the middle found Sean Narcis who scored from just inside the box.
In the 40th minute Narcis had a shot go into the side netting after beating two Dandy Town defenders. In the 43rd minute, Dandy Town’s goalkeeper Daniel Johnson made a sliding save to deny Kerry Joseph a goal scoring opportunity. The referee brought the first half to a close with the teams tied at 1 – 1.

In the 70th minute Dandy Town’s Wolde Place was replaced by Shannon Burchall, and in the 81st minute Heys Wolfe replaced Lashun Dill. The game ended 1-1, and Dandy Town will travel to Trinidad to play the second leg of the Caribbean Club Champions Cup later this month.

Decent showing form Town, with a better game from “Packy” Beech I think you could have won the game. I do hope you guys prepare well for the second leg which should be much tougher, good luck and all the best. Note to coach you need guys to at least best the first line of defence with the spot kicks.
