Somerset Trojans have secured the First Division title on a dramatic weekend of Bermudian football that also saw Young Men’s Social Club relegated from the Premier Division.
PREMIER DIVISION
North Village Rams 5 Young Men Social Club 2
The top flight provided equal measures of heartbreak and hope. At Bernard Park, Young Men’s Social Club saw their relegation officially confirmed following a 5-2 drubbing at the hands of North Village Rams.
The Rams were ruthless, racing into a lead through Jai Bean and Che’Kai Caisey. Despite a spirited second-half effort from the Social Club, including goals from Z’Chai Jennings-Barnett and Ryan Parris, the North Village attack proved too potent. Jalen Harvey, Jonte Smith, and Tah-ki Tucker all found the net to send the home side down.

PHC Zebras refused to blink, keeping the pressure on the Hornets with a narrow 1-0 win over Paget Lions.

Dandy Town Hornets 2 X-Road’s 0
Dandy Town Hornets maintained their grip on first place with a professional 2-0 win over X-Road’s at White Hill Field.

Robin Hood 0 Somerset Trojans 2
The Trojans reached the promised land at the PHC Stadium with a clinical 2-0 victory over Robin Hood. After a tense, goalless first half, Leo Burgess took centre stage.
Burgess broke the deadlock from the penalty spot in the 50th minute before pouncing on a misplaced backpass twenty minutes later to double the lead and spark championship celebrations.
