Kenni Thompson Scores Cup Winner
Bermuda footballer Kenni Thompson scored the winner as AFC Bournemouth defeated Plymouth Argyle in the FA Women’s National League Cup final yesterday [March 28].
The winger struck directly from a corner in the sixth minute of the match, played at Loftus Road, home of Championship side Queens Park Rangers.
After celebrating her team’s triumph, Thompson video-called her mother in Bermuda.
“It’s been a long journey for me – I left my home at 11 years old,” Thompson said.
“I don’t usually get to have my family with me, but, you know, it’s part of the job.
“It’s something I’ve had to sacrifice, and they’ve had to sacrifice.
“It’s something they keep pushing me to do. I owe everything to them, every step of the way.”
