Two prominent Bermuda National team players, despite their absence from the recent Concacaf World Cup Qualifying squad, have now turned their focus back to crucial domestic action after learning their opponents in the Emirates FA Cup Second Round.
Striker Nahki Wells and his Luton Town teammates have been handed an away tie, drawing Fleetwood Town. Wells, who has been a consistent goal threat for Luton, will travel to Highbury Stadium for the match, which is scheduled to be played around the weekend of Saturday, December 6th, 2025.
Meanwhile, winger Justin Donawa and his Brackley Town side, who successfully navigated the qualifying rounds, have been rewarded with a high-profile home fixture. They will host Burton Albion FC at St James Park. This tie is also set to be played on the same weekend of December 6, offering Donawa a chance to shine on home turf against Football League opposition.
Both players will be eager to progress to the Third Round, where clubs from the Premier League and EFL Championship enter the prestigious competition.

Bermudian forward Joshua Joseph has opened his goal-scoring account for his new English club, Cheadle Heath Nomads, scoring in his first start to help secure a vital 3–2 victory over New Mills FC.
Joseph, who recently signed for the North West Counties League Division One North side, made an instant impact after being given a starting role for the crucial fixture.
The 25-year-old found the net moments after the restart, scoring the Nomads' second goal of the match just 46 minutes into the contest. The goal, which followed a first-half strike from Harry St Romaine, put Cheadle Heath Nomads temporarily ahead at 2-1 in a closely fought encounter.
Although New Mills FC fought back to level the score from the penalty spot, Omogbolahan Solarin secured the eventual winner for Cheadle Heath Nomads in the 77th minute.
Joseph's first goal for the club is a significant milestone, marking a successful breakthrough into the starting lineup and confirming his quality after making the transition to the English semi-professional circuit.
