from college in two weeks' time to help Bermuda restore some pride in their remaining World Cup qualifying round tie against Canada.

Although the December 6 fixture is regarded as a match of no real significance for his team who are at the bottom of their group after such a promising start, Adams said he feels that they can still salvage some respectability with a good result from this last game.

The 19-year-old who is majoring in Physical Education at High Point University in North Carolina, has interrupted three weekends at school in order to join the Bermuda team for matches in El Salvador, Jamaica and Canada -- and yesterday revealed a burning desire to follow through with a commitment to turn out for the home game against Canada.

Yesterday, speaking from North Carolina, he endorsed the remarks of the Bermuda professionals playing in England who indicated a strong desire to remain here and help their country through to the end of the World Cup campaign.

"I'm happy to hear that our professionals want to see things through to the end, I'm definitely with them, especially since they feel their pro careers will not be jeopardised by staying on. I had every intention of coming home for this last game, there will be nothing to prevent me from coming back,'' said Adams.

"The arrangements have long been made with my school and it is only right that one would want to see this competition through right to the end. Although we are out of it I still feel that every game is just as important, and we should all view it this way.'' Adams said that once Bermuda are able to field their strongest team for this final match it will show true unity and only help pave the way for a brighter future for the overall national programme.

He added: "If we are going to build on the experience from this competition then it is vital that we continue to do our best to the very end. This is why I feel that we should pull together as a unit and a country and aim for nothing short of a positive result.'' But he made it no secret that he will be on a personal mission as Bermuda head into this final fixture, claiming that the fact that he conceded 11 goals from their last three games has been mindboggling.

The goalkeeper admitted that there were times during the away series when the opposing forwards were free and able to have clear shots on goal.

"But I am not making excuses, the number I let in has frustrated me quite a bit. I am very disappointed on how some of them went in, never in my career have I given up so many goals within a short span.

"In fact the record will show that during past seasons in Bermuda I haven't conceded no more than 12 or 13 goals, so you can see how letting in this many concerns me,'' explained Adams.

He noted that while the away results were a big letdown the experience that all of the players have gained from the World Cup run has been extraordinary.

"It's been very helpful to me in particular. I've enjoyed it and I am satisfied that I have done my best. Everybody has given a good effort for that matter.'' DWAYNE ADAMS -- Worried about number of away gols that Bermuda conceded.
