Video: Gold Cup Team Member Donte Brangman
Donte Brangman — who scored the game winning goal for Bermuda in their recent match against Guyana — is looking forward to the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup, noting that never before in history has Bermuda appeared in the prestigious regional competition.
Asked about his favourite game in the lead up to qualifying for the Gold Cup, Mr Brangman said, “The Dominican Republic. I think El Salvador was our toughest game, but Dominican Republic was probably the best feeling because once we won that game it was real. Once we won, we knew that had made it, and it’s never been done before in history.”
While the Dominican Republic match may have been his favourite, he certainly thrilled the home fans with his goal against Guyana last week, and he called it an “amazing feeling to score in front of your home country.”
Bermuda’s team includes 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.
The Gombey Warriors will take on Haiti on June 16th in Costa Rica, then Costa Rica on June 20th in Dallas, and then match up against Nicaragua on June 24th in New Jersey, and in an effort to provide comprehensive coverage of Bermuda’s debut in this highly prestigious regional competition, Bernews has a dedicated reporter traveling with the team in order to bring all the latest action and insights, with the special coverage thanks to the support of Butterfield & Vallis, One Communications, and Bermuda Security Group.
