Jimenez on target as Hibs edged out by Annan Athletic
|
Bermudian international Logan Jimenez found the net late on, but it was not enough to prevent Hibernian Development Squad slipping to a narrow 2-1 defeat against Annan Athletic in the KDM Evolution Trophy.
First-half strikes from Charlie Maxwell and Corey O’Donnell handed the hosts a commanding cushion at Galabank, leaving the young Hibees with too much ground to make up despite a determined second-half push.
Following a balanced opening spell, Annan drew first blood on 23 minutes. A teasing corner caused indecision in the Hibernian penalty area, allowing Maxwell to react quickest and dispatch an emphatic first-time volley into the far corner.
The hosts doubled their lead in the 37th minute through a relentless, direct surge. Maxwell forced his way through a cluster of green shirts before the ball fell kindly to O’Donnell, who stabbed a low finish beneath Hibs goalkeeper Mallon from close range.
Hibs responded with greater attacking urgency after the break and were rewarded with six minutes remaining.
MacDonald floated a deep corner towards the back post, where Buckley rose highest to direct a firm header towards goal. The effort deflected decisively off the well-positioned Jimenez and into the net to set up a tense finish, but Annan held firm through the closing minutes to secure their victory.

BFA Gregory Grimes Under 13 Tournament Kicks Off
|
The Bermuda Football Association youth season kicked off in dramatic fashion as the Under 13 Gregory Grimes Tournament served up high drama, penalty shootouts and a remarkable 21-goal display in the opening round.
At Shelly Bay, FC Bascome Gold held their nerve from the penalty spot to eliminate Dandy Town following a pulsating 1-1 draw in regulation time.
The contest came alive late in the second half when Gebre Vickers broke the deadlock for Dandy Town in the 67th minute. Bascome responded instantly, with Eli Oduntan finding a dramatic equaliser on the 70-minute mark to send the tie straight to penalties.
Oduntan then joined Savio Goater, Declan O’Sullivan and Trevor Mills in converting from twelve yards, securing a 4-2 shootout victory despite successful kicks from Dandy Town duo Vickers and Royal Fubler-Tucker.
Over at Warwick Academy, Warwick FA Boca Juniors produced a stunning attacking clinic, brushing aside Vasco da Gama Red with an emphatic 21-0 triumph.
Ajani Trott stole the headlines with a sensational seven-goal haul, finding the net in the 14th, 31st, 33rd, 35th, 37th, 42nd and 43rd minutes. Makee Simmons set the tempo immediately with two goals inside the opening two minutes before adding two more in the second half to complete a four-goal display. Braces from Lenox Brown, Archie Astwood-Simmons, Owen Foster and Henry Mohs, alongside strikes from Will Leman and Eoin Muirhead, rounded out an extraordinary afternoon.
Warwick Academy also staged a thrilling encounter between Warwick FA River Plate and Vasco da Gama Green, where the visitors mounted an impressive comeback to prevail 3-2.
River Plate seized an early two-goal cushion courtesy of quickfire finishes from Maximillion Norton after eight minutes and Billy Brogden a minute later. Vasco answered back through King Phillips, who struck twice in ten minutes either side of a 17th-minute effort from Vasco Borges to turn the match on its head and seal a memorable fightback.
Elsewhere, Bernard Park witnessed a tough double header for North Village. Devonshire Colts proved clinical against NVCC Rams Red, securing a 3-0 away win with goals from Quaid Johnson, Thalion Pogson and Deaz Tear.
On the adjacent pitch, Somerset Trojans were equally dominant against NVCC Rams Whites, cruising to a 5-0 victory. Ryan Medeiros Tavares opened the scoring in the third minute before Reilly Williams struck twice in quick succession mid-way through the half. A 29th-minute finish from Zyare Ray and an unfortunate own goal shortly after the interval sealed Somerset’s passage into the next round.

Madeiros Stars as St. Andrew's College Stun US Powerhouse
|
Bermudian defender Michael Madeiros enjoyed a standout weekend at both ends of the pitch, scoring in back-to-back matches to help St. Andrew’s College (SAC) secure a statement upset over nationally ranked US side Northfield Mount Hermon.
Madeiros, serving as vice-captain in his senior year, anchored the Saints' back line while demonstrating his expanding offensive repertoire with a goal in each fixture.
The highlight of the weekend came against Massachusetts-based Northfield Mount Hermon (NMH), who entered the clash ranked seventh in the United States by Sports Illustrated’s High School On SI Prep Soccer rankings. The Canadian side produced a disciplined, high-intensity performance to down their heavily favoured American opponents—a David-versus-Goliath triumph that caught the attention of mainstream media across the border, earning coverage on Toronto rock station Q107.
Madeiros was joined in the squad by fellow Bermudian senior Jah’Zion Taylor and Bermuda resident Heris Ziai, maintaining a prominent island presence in SAC's first team. Ziai made an immediate impact in the weekend's opening match, while Taylor's pace and direct running from wide areas added consistent pressure on the counter-attack.
Primarily celebrated for his calm reading of the game and tactical discipline at centre-back, Madeiros proved equally decisive inside the opposition penalty area, using his aerial prowess from set pieces to register two crucial strikes.
The results provide early momentum for a St. Andrew's side chasing history in 2026. Having captured both the Conference of Independent Schools Athletic Association (CISAA) regional title and the Canadian Accredited Independent Schools (CAIS) national crown in each of the past two seasons—a feat dubbed the "Double Double"—SAC are aiming for an unprecedented "three-peat" of both trophies.
With their senior Bermuda core firing, the Ontario-based school has laid down a marker against top-tier North American opposition as their campaign gets under way.
