Video: Tyrell & Williams Return from Barbados

The best young footballing talent from 12 islands across the region completed the 2013 Digicel Academy held in Barbados, including three of Bermuda’s top young players.

Teams comprising players from Antigua, Barbados, Bermuda, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Panama, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago featured in a dramatic final which was won by the Digicel Academy’s Team Lampard.

Bermuda had three players involved – Amar Lewis, Tyriko Williams and Te’Vahn Tyrell. Williams and Tyrell returned to the island last night, while Lewis made his way back to England.

Digicel Academy Head Coach, David Monk, was very impressed with this year’s group of players, saying; “I would like to congratulate the winners of this year’s round robin tournament and the boys who attended the Digicel Academy.

“This group of players have raised the bar in how they combine their natural talent with the techniques and strategies that they learned at the Academy – which we saw being demonstrated during the 3-v-3 tournament and in the round robin final.

“They have demonstrated that they can effectively compete with other top footballers across the region and no doubt this is a good indication that if they continue on this path of development, they will have a bright future in the sport.”
