A busy day for Bermudian footballers in the English non-league system saw a high-scoring victory, a frustrating defeat, and a derby draw featuring two national team veterans.
The standout fixture saw two Bermudian international veterans clash in the Pitching In Southern League Premier Central match at Arden Garages Stadium, where Stratford Town FC (featuring goalkeeper Dale Eve) hosted Needham Market FC (with veteran Reggie Lambe).
The two teams fought out an entertaining 2-2 draw, ultimately sharing the points. Both Bermudians played key roles for their respective sides in the tightly contested match, ensuring neither side was able to claim bragging rights on the day.
A challenging result came for the Bermudian trio of Deniche Hill, Keziah Martin, and their Buxton United FC teammates. They went down 2-1 to a side featuring compatriot Ne-Jai Tucker at the Tarmac Silverlands Stadium.
Tucker’s Southport Football Club secured the crucial victory, handing a defeat to the Buxton side. The result marks a valuable three points for Southport but will be a frustrating result for Hill and Martin's side as they look to climb the table.
In the North West Counties Football League, striker Joshua Joseph and his Cheadle Heath Nomads teammates delivered a devastating attacking performance, thrashing Haughmond FC 7-0.
Joseph, who recently opened his goal-scoring account for the Nomads, was part of an unstoppable offensive unit that ran rampant against Haughmond, securing a huge victory that significantly boosts the team's goal difference and moves them up the standings.
