It was a busy midweek fixture night for seven Bermudian footballers across the English football pyramid, yielding a mix of cup progression, league victories, and late heartbreak.
In cup action, Justin Donawa and his Brackley Town teammates faced Everton U21's in a National League Cup fixture. The match ended level at 1-1 after normal time, but unfortunately for Donawa's side, it was Everton who advanced, winning 4-2 on kicks from the penalty mark.
Meanwhile, Coleridge Fubler and Aunde Todd both celebrated victory as their Binfield FC teammates advanced in the Velocity Cup, securing a convincing 3-0 win away to Carshalton Athletic FC at Colston Avenue.
In the league pyramid, there were mixed fortunes for the Bermudian players:
Willie Clemons featured for Leiston FC in their Southern League match against AFC Sudbury at Flannery Stadium. Clemons and his teammates came away with a decisive 3-1 victory, earning crucial league points.
Milan Butterfield and his Halesowen Town side were denied a hard-earned three points in dramatic fashion during their match against Quorn in Leicestershire. After battling into the final moments, Quorn scored in the fifth minute of stoppage time to salvage a 2-2 draw.
In the Enterprise National League North, Deniche Hill and Keziah Martin were both unused substitutes, but they watched their Buxton FC teammates edge Peterborough Sports with a tight 2-1 victory.
Finally, Jutorre Burgess and his Harborough Town teammates were involved in a defensive battle against Stratford Town FC at The Bee Hive, sharing the points in a 0-0 draw in Southern Football League action.
