The Bermuda Football Association's Premier Division returned with a bang over the weekend, delivering late drama, shared spoils, and four teams securing maximum points on matchday one.
Leading the pack after the opening round of fixtures are the North Village Rams, who sit atop the fledgling table by virtue of goal difference following a crisp two-goal victory.
Chasing closely behind are the Dandy Town Hornets, defending champions PHC Zebras, and St. George’s Colts, all of whom opened their accounts with hard-fought, one-goal margins of victory to join Village on three points.
Elsewhere, the points were shared in an entertaining draw, ensuring that six clubs got off the mark in what promises to be another fiercely contested campaign.
In the individual scoring stakes, two familiar marksmen have laid down an immediate marker in the hunt for the golden boot.
Jai Bean got off to a flying start for North Village Rams, bagging two goals to anchor his side's charge to the summit.
Matching Bean's opening-weekend haul was St. George’s Colts forward Jarazinho Bassett, whose two-goal salvo proved decisive in helping the East End outfit secure their opening three points in a five-goal thriller.
With just a single round in the books, the margins remain razor-thin at the top as the contenders prepare for next weekend's second slate of matches.
