 The Berkeley Institute Gold side has been crowned champions of the Bermuda School Sports Federation’s Under 16 Six-A-Side Tournament, securing the title after coming from behind to defeat Mount Saint Agnes Academy (MSA) 3-1 in the final held at the Berkeley Institute.
MSA took a narrow 1-0 lead into the half-time break courtesy of a strike from Jaylen Medeiros. However, Berkeley came roaring back in the second half with a dominant offensive display. The comeback was fuelled by a brilliant double from Jeon Wolfe and a single goal from Cais Rogers, sealing the 3-1 victory and the championship trophy.
Berkeley’s route to the final demonstrated their attacking depth. They comfortably defeated Saltus Grammar School 5-0 in the Semi-Final, with five different players finding the back of the net: Amir Weller, Ibraheem Talbot, Cade Thompson, Wolfe, and Rogers were all on target for the eventual champions.
The other half of the bracket saw high drama decided by penalty shootouts. MSA reached the final after defeating Berkeley Green in a penalty shootout following a scoreless game.
Saltus also needed penalties to advance past the quarter-final stage, defeating CedarBridge Academy after the game ended in a 2-2 draw. Saltus scorers were Shiloh Anderson and Zaiyon Mirambeaux-Simmons, while Amai Harvey and Nazhi Anderson were on target for CedarBridge. MSA’s semi-final spot was also secured via a shootout win after drawing 1-1 with Somersfield Academy, with Medeiros and Amari Bean scoring the regulation goals for their respective sides.
