It was a day of dramatic finishes and mixed fortunes for Bermudian footballers across the English leagues, highlighted by a moment of late devastation for Nathan Trott in the Championship.
Goalkeeper Nathan Trott and his Cardiff City teammates suffered late heartbreak on Saturday afternoon as hosts Bolton Wanderers snatched all three points. Just when it seemed the match was heading for a draw, winger Amario Cozier-Duberry produced a moment of magic from distance two minutes into stoppage time to secure the decisive 1-0 win for the hosts.
In the higher tiers, Nahki Wells and his Luton Town teammates edged out Northampton 1-0 on the road, securing a crucial victory.
In the lower leagues, the day brought both resounding success and cup disappointment:
Buxton United FC, featuring Deniche Hill and Keziah Martin, delivered a sensational performance, dismantling Alfreton Town Football Club with a comprehensive 6-0 victory at Tarmac Silverlands Stadium.
Willie Clemons and his Leiston FC teammates bowed out of the Isuzu FA Trophy, falling 2-1 to AFC Sudbury.
Elsewhere, other Bermudian players saw varied results:
Coleridge Fubler started for Binfield FC in their Isthmian Football League match, which ended in a 3-1 defeat to Hanworth Villa. Aunde Todd and Qur'an Raynor were unused substitutes.
Justin Donawa was an unused substitute as Brackley Town suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Southend United FC.
Kane Crichlow and his Sutton United FC teammates went down 4-2 to Cheltenham Town FC.
Reggie Lambe and his Needham Market FC teammates secured a key win in their Southern League Premier Central battle, defeating Kettering Town.
Roger Lee and his Heanor Town teammates were defeated 2-0 by Deeping Rangers FC in their United Counties League matchup.
