IslandStats.com
Bermuda FIFA Assistant Referee Clinton Hayward was heavily involved in international action over the weekend, officiating the friendly match between Antigua and Barbuda and Guyana at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua and Barbuda.
The contest proved to be a thrilling affair from start to finish, with Guyana ultimately proving the more clinical side, running out convincing 4-1 winners.
Guyana's goals came from a combination of impressive attacking play. Stephen Duke-McKenna opened the scoring, followed by a strike from Osaze De Rosario. The star of the show for the visitors was Omari Glasgow, who netted a brace to secure a comprehensive victory.
Antigua and Barbuda managed to pull back a consolation goal through Quinton Griffith, but it was not enough to trouble the rampant Guyanese side.
Hayward's presence as a FIFA Assistant Referee in such fixtures highlights the high regard in which Bermudian match officials are held within the Concacaf region, providing him with valuable experience in international officiating.

Walking Footballers Head for Three-Match Tour
IslandStats.com
A group of Bermudian Walking Football enthusiasts are set to embark on an exciting three-match tour to the UK, where they will face the walking football teams representing some of England's most famous Premier League clubs—Liverpool, Everton, and Manchester City.
The tour offers a unique opportunity for the Bermudian contingent to test their skills against established sides and enjoy the camaraderie the fast-growing sport provides.
The team travelling from Bermuda is comprised of twelve committed players, showcasing a blend of experienced local footballers returning to the pitch and dedicated enthusiasts. The squad includes: John Miranda, Gordon Stewart, Elijah Lowe, George Butterfield, Chris Gibbons, Curly Joe Wilson, Michael Bean, Troy Lowe, David Chew, Andrew Griffith, Khomeni Talbot, and Johnny Robinson.
The sport they play, Walking Football, is a unique small-sided game created by John Croot in 2011. It has rapidly grown into a global phenomenon, primarily attracting players over the age of 50.
As the name suggests, the core rule is simple: no running is allowed. This modification significantly reduces the risk of injury and impact, allowing players to rediscover the game they love without the physical toll of traditional football.
The Bermuda players will rely on their tactical intelligence and technical skill—qualities that "come flooding back" when playing the familiar game in a new way.
The schedule pits the visitors against three powerhouse club foundations in the city of Liverpool, providing a memorable challenge:
A match against the Liverpool walking football team. A fixture against the community team representing Everton. A meeting with the side representing Manchester City.
The tour is expected to be a major highlight for the group, celebrating the spirit of sportsmanship and showing that the passion for the beautiful game never fades.
