Well done ladies. You have done yourselves and BDA proud.
Awesome
Great to see them being rewarded for their hard work!!! They deserved it and its great to see them celebrating but I have mixed emotions when I look at the pictures.
Its not a good idea to let anyone sit on the door opening and wave at any speed especially on our windy, bumpy roads. I know they are having fun, and I trust that the drivers were as careful as possible, but accidents happen. Can you imagine if one of them lost their balance, slipped or was hit by a branch from a roadside tree. What if someone else lost control and hit one of those cars.
Just glad none of them was hurt. Next time, and there will be a next time because these girls are good, lets find a safer way!
All of the U15 players and coaching staff were on the transport truck. The cars were that of family and friends.
Well done ladies! I’ve watched you work hard in the gym to achieve greatness. Your hard work and dedication has paid off. Congratulations!! Bermuda is proud of you…..Keep up the good work!
