On behalf of North Village Community Club and Devonshire Colts Football Club, we extend our sincerest apologies to everyone impacted by the events that took place following Friday evening’s match.
This game was intended to be a historic and celebratory occasion—the first league football match under the lights at Bernard Park. It was also an opportunity to showcase the passion and tradition of two clubs with deep roots in Bermudian football and our wider community. Unfortunately, what should have been a proud moment was marred by incidents after the final whistle that escalated into physical altercations.
Both North Village and Devonshire Colts share a rich history of developing players, supporting families, and serving as pillars in our community. Together, we want to be clear: neither club will tolerate behavior that compromises the safety and wellbeing of anyone attending or participating in our events. This commitment extends beyond football. It speaks to the responsibility we hold as community institutions.
We will be conducting a full investigation into the events of Friday night. Violence has no place in our sport or our society, and we are determined to ensure that our clubs remain spaces where respect, unity, and community pride are upheld.
North Village Community Club and Devonshire Colts Football Club remain united in our mission to provide a safe, welcoming, and positive environment for all, and to ensure that future occasions are remembered for the right reasons.
– North Village Community Club & Devonshire Colts Football Club.
