Premier Congratulates Team, Receives Jersey
Earlier this afternoon [Mar 26], Premier Michael Dunkley and the Minister of Community, Culture and Sports Pat Gordon-Pamplin were presented with official Bermuda Team football jerseys from the Bermuda Football Association [BFA].
Premier Dunkley said he was “thrilled and honoured” to receive an official team jersey, and took the opportunity to congratulate the Bermuda National Team on their convincing 5-0 World Cup qualifying win over the Bahamas last night.
The Premier said, “I want to congratulate our National Football team who represented Bermuda with extreme poise and pride last night, and all of Bermuda should be celebrating their achievement.
“We still have another critical match ahead of us on Sunday afternoon against the Bahamas, so I want to encourage all of Bermuda to come out in full force with their Bermuda flags, air horns and whistles and show their support for our team.
“I’ll be in attendance at the match wearing my team jersey, and I can’t wait to see what lies in store for the fans on Sunday.”
Meanwhile, Minister Gordon-Pamplin who will be on hand at the airport this evening to welcome the triumphant Bermuda team home said, “It was an honour to receive this jersey today. We certainly are excited about the team’s win last night, and I am pleased at the level of support being expressed for our National Football Team.”
Also on hand at the Cabinet Office today was the BFA General Secretary David Sabir and Damon Ming and Ebonie Burgess who received the Minister’s Male and Female Awards for Football respectively at the recently held Sports Awards.
Members of the public who wish to obtain official team jerseys in advance of Sunday’s match can purchase them from the BFA Office, Sports Locker on Queen Street and Home Worx in St. George’s.
The Bermuda National Team arrive at the L.F. Wade International Airport this evening on the American Airlines Miami flight.
Damn.
The PLP should have presented him with one of their Jerseys.
“Thanks so much. No need really but I am thankful that you thought of me. Now let’s play ball”.
Where’s the blackjack table? I want one but definitely not the red one too close to those OBAers.
Them jerseys look like winners
Catch him while he’s in happy mood and ask him pump some more $$$ in your program and stop making anti-Bermudian decisions.
Never mind I forgot its just another photo opp.
You mean like 11 million to the cricket team?
What community $ has the oba did accept give it to the America’s ****.
Gave PHC thousands of dollars procured from criminal activities as well as other charities.
Actually they amended the law so that transfer can be facilitated.
It is a shame the PLP raised our deficit by 2,400+% in the space of less than a decade.
If they managed finances correctly then more monies could be distributed.
But you reap what you sow.
I’m sorry , what was that?
Mockingjay you know the Dunk likes to Micro Manage all his sheep. Always in a photo with his minister, makes you think what does he have them there for.
What money?
Mockingay: You are clearly a PRC: Politically Reactive ****
One thing i will say, Dunkley has great PR. Always in a photo about something.

It’s like night and day with the congratulatory message press releases, based on the comments sections.
Welcome to Bermuda.
Truth indeed. Like clockwork.
@Mockingjay, This article is about the success of our country in footy, and because of our win yesterday, it unites us. It doesnt matter who the Premier is, he is proud of the BDA squad like the rest of us. I bet you wouldnt know your knee from your elbow when it comes to making the decisions that he has to make…Anti-Bermudian, yor comment is anti bermudian…#smh WELL DONE BERMUDA National FOOTBALL Squad! big up!
Do you have the same sentiment on the comments made about Mark Bean on his write up on the teams success.
Pamplin and Dunkley are anit bermudians.
