Bermuda girls impress in Goombay Cup
Bermuda finished as runners-up at the inaugural Under-15 Girls Goombay Cup in the Bahamas, where they suffered only one defeat in five matches.
Under the guidance of former Bermuda defender Taznae Fubler and led by Riley Khan, the Lady Gombey Warriors started off the round-robin event with a 2-2 draw against US Virgin Islands on Friday.
Saturday featured Bermuda defeating Grenada 7-0 before they drew 0-0 with Turks & Caicos. On Sunday, the final day of the competition, the girls recorded a 4-1 triumph over the host nation, but the tournament ended with a heartbreaking 1-0 loss to Cayman Islands, who went on to be crowned champions.
From the five matches, Bermuda scored 13 goals and conceded four times. Kierra Broadley-Samuels, who was awarded tournament MVP, finished with three goals, the same number as Priya Dill.
The girls returned home to a warm reception at LF Wade International on Monday night.
