Video: Gold Cup Football Team Return Home
[Updated with photos] After an exceptional showing at their first ever Concacaf Gold Cup, some of Bermuda’s football team returned home today [June 25] where they were greeted by friends and family, as well as schoolchildren seeking their autographs and wanting to take photos with the players.
The footballers happily accommodated all the requests, spending close to 10 minutes speaking with the kids and signing autographs for them, before speaking with the media to provide some of their views on their historic showing at the Gold Cup.
Making their first ever debut in the Gold Cup, the Gombey Warriors scored a total of four goals against some of Concacaf’s most elite teams, who all represent nations with millions of people.
The team won their last game against Nicaragua 2-0, and made very strong showings against Haiti and Costa Rica, and even earned awards, with Bermuda footballers claiming a Man of the Match award, a High Mileage Player of the Game award, and a Save of the Game award.
Bermuda’s history making team included Nahki Wells, Dante Leverock, Jonte Smith, Reggie Lambe, Dale Eve, Oliver Jalen Harvey, Calon Minors, Roger Lee, Kacy Milan Butterfield, Jaylon Bather, Lejaun Simmons, Donte Brangman, Chikosi Basden, Zeiko Lewis, Willie Clemons, Jahquil Hill, Osagi Bascome, Cecoy Robinson, Justin Donawa, Wendell Tre Ming, Liam Evans, Marco Warren, and Quinaceo Hunt.
