Bermudian Trio Shine as Westtown School seal Quarter-Final Spot
|
Bermudian prospects Malik Paynter, Amori Simons and Amir Weller played starring roles as Westtown School Boys' Varsity soccer team advanced to the quarter-finals of the Pennsylvania Independent Schools Athletic Association (PAISAA) Tournament.
Westtown secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over rivals Hill School in a tense first-round encounter to keep their post-season campaign firmly on track.
The trio, who recently helped Westtown capture the Friends Schools League (FSL) title with a 2-0 win over Shipley School, were once again at the heart of their team's success, displaying the grit and technical quality that has made them standout performers this season.
A single goal proved enough to separate the sides in a fiercely contested match, with Westtown's resilient defence—anchored by tireless performances from their international talent—holding firm to preserve another crucial clean sheet.
Paynter (Class of 2028), Simons (2030) and Weller (2029) have been instrumental for the Pennsylvania-based outfit, and their collaborative triumph on the big stage once again highlights the growing influence of Bermudian talent in US boarding school soccer.
The victory sees Westtown take one step closer to a coveted state title as they march into the PAISAA quarter-finals.

Warwick Clinch Leonard DeRosa-Holder Under-15 Title
|
Warwick Football Academy produced an impressive second-half display to defeat FC Bascome 2-0 and claim the Leonard DeRosa-Holder Under-15 Championship at Wellington Oval.
After a closely contested and scoreless first half, two unanswered goals after the interval proved enough for Warwick to secure the prestigious youth title.
The match burst into life in the second period, with FC Bascome initially dominating the early exchanges. Only a brilliant point-blank block by Warwick goalkeeper Maximus Rayner denied Adaj O’Brien and kept the scores level.
However, Warwick broke the deadlock against the run of play in the 51st minute. A superb individual run down the left flank by Cillian McGlynn saw him bypass the advancing Bascome goalkeeper Tayte Browne, before squaring the ball for Charlie Smith to tap into an empty net.
Despite sustained pressure from a resilient Bascome side, inspired by MVP Quinn Farnsworth, Warwick’s defence—anchored by MVP Ray Richardson—held firm.
Warwick sealed the championship four minutes from time when Caleb Mello's 76th-minute header deflected off the upright and into the net, sparking joyous celebrations as they secured the coveted trophy.
