X-Roads Squads Head to US for Virginia Cup Test
|
Bermuda youth club X-Roads Warriors have travelled to the United States this weekend to test themselves at the Virginia Cup, one of the premier junior tournaments on the American East Coast.
The club has entered teams in both the Under-11 and Under-17 age divisions, marking a significant developmental step on the international circuit.
For the majority of the young Bermudian players making the trip, the tournament will provide their first taste of competitive football outside Bermuda as they come up against elite academy and travel sides from across Virginia and the wider mid-Atlantic region.
The weekend showcase offers both age groups valuable exposure to foreign opposition, testing tactical discipline, physicality, and technical ability across multi-game schedules as the club continues to broaden its youth development pathways abroad.

Watson & West Virginia State Battle to Thrilling 2-2 Draw
|
Bermudian defender Danni Watson and her West Virginia State University teammates shared the spoils in an entertaining 2-2 draw against Kutztown University at Lakin-Ray Field at Dickerson Stadium.
The hard-fought nonconference encounter moves the Yellow Jackets to 0-1-1 on the season, while the visiting Golden Bears stand at 1-0-1.
Following a competitive first half where goalkeepers held sway, the contest erupted after the interval with four goals packed into a frantic second period.
The opening 45 minutes saw chances at both ends, with Kutztown creating the game's first clear opening in the 25th minute, only for WVSU goalkeeper Celina Seggelmann to turn the effort away. Just before the break, Maria Alejandra Hernandez Diaz came close to breaking the deadlock for the hosts, but her effort drifted narrowly high.
The Yellow Jackets seized the initiative straight after the restart:
Fast Start: Just three minutes into the second half, Leila Karam found the target to register her first goal of the season and put WVSU 1-0 ahead.
Instant Exchange: Kutztown responded seven minutes later to level at 1-1, but the hosts hit back immediately. Just seconds after the restart, Sharon Freire Omonigho pounced on a rebound to claim her first goal of the campaign and restore WVSU’s lead at 2-1.
Late Drama: The Golden Bears forced their second equalizer in the 76th minute when Giavanna Marciano broke through on a counter to make it 2-2.
Kutztown pushed hard for a late decider, striking the right post in the 88th minute, while a final WVSU attempt in the dying seconds sailed just over the crossbar.
Seggelmann anchored the Yellow Jackets' defensive effort alongside Watson, finishing the afternoon with a career-high four saves in net to secure the point.

Brunson Features as QPR Under-21s Fall to Defeat
|
Bermudian youth international Kalen Brunson and his Queens Park Rangers Under-21 teammates suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Huddersfield Town in their latest Professional Development League outing.
The West London side’s development squad found themselves on the back foot against a clinical Terriers outfit that capitalised on their chances to take all three points.
Despite Rangers battling to establish control through midfield and carving out opportunities in the final third, Huddersfield proved more decisive in key moments to pull away and seal the victory.
The fixture marks another test against seasoned academy opposition for the 17-year-old Bermudian winger, who continues his progression through the Loftus Road ranks after penning a scholarship deal with the Championship club.
