Midfielders Kydan Brown, Joshua Joseph, Zeiko Seymour, Zico Saltus-Seymour, Mikiel Thomas, Malachi Trott, La Zai Outerbridge
The BFA has made the matches free entry, urging local fans to pack the stands to support the league select. Match 1: Thursday, February 5th – 7:00 PM Match 2: Sunday, February 8th – 2:00 PM
While the domestic squad gears up at home, Bermuda’s international stars have been making waves across the Atlantic in the English non-league circuit.
Needham Market’s Reggie Lambe continued his scintillating form at Bloomfields. With the score tied at 1–1 against AFC Sudbury, Lambe produced a moment of pure magic in the 15th minute. Picking up the ball 30 yards out, he unleashed a curling "screamer" into the top far corner—his second stunner in three home appearances—to set the foundation for a 4–2 victory.
In the same division, Willie Clemons and Leiston FC endured a grittier afternoon on the road. Despite a hard-fought battle at Bury Town FC, they were forced to settle for a point in a 1–1 draw.
Young defender Harry Twite also enjoyed a successful outing at the Loughborough University Grounds. His Loughborough Students side secured a comfortable 3–1 win over Coleshill Town FC in their NPL Midlands Division One clash.
Zhani Burgess and his Quorn Football Club teammates defeated Stamford AFC 2 - 0 at the Stotto Stadium.
