A gifted young Bermuda select team showcased their promise by finishing runners-up in the Schwan's USA Cup Weekend in Minnesota last Sunday.

The Gombey Warriors, who are using the tournament as preparation for their upcoming Under-17 World Cup qualifiers, lost to Canadian team The Oakville Gunners 1-0 after extra-time.

En route to the final Bermuda beat Norway's KFUM-S, the Texas Lightning Back, Albion CS as well as earning a draw against the Oakville Gunners.

The Gombey Warriors are now competing in a separate event, the week-long Schwan's USA Cup.

Under-17s coach Mark Wade has remained on the Island to work with those players who were not selected for the trip, while his assistant Ray Jones and Bermuda technical director Derek Broadley have travelled with the team.

The side were due to play against Mayfield Sefton FC yesterday, and will be in action again today when they face Futura Juventus.
