Dwayne (Streaker) Adams has ruled himself out of the Corona League this season after turning out for North Village in the Charity Cup on Saturday night.Now the Premier Division represents his only chance of competitive football this season, although the former Bermuda international insists his role will only be one of back-up to regular stopper Jason Williams.Adams’ first match for Village in several years only came about because Williams was unavailable and he was asked that same day to help out after playing in the Nelson Bascome charity match alongside Village coach Shaun Goater.“Jason had some other commitment the other night so I was just filling in,” said Adams, who at 39 is still younger than some goalkeepers playing professionally in England.“There’s no big commitment to turning up and playing every week but it is an added incentive to get back into football shape and support the club where it’s needed.“I’ve been playing in the Corona League with the Corona team so playing the other night kicked me out of the Corona League. But if I’m going to play it is going to be in that role of helping out where needed.”Adams just came off a season of playing cricket with Warwick, but football has always been his main sport, having made his senior debut for Bermuda at the age of 16 and playing a significant role in the national team over several years.He went back to Village as coach for a couple of years in 2005-06 and led the team to their first Triple Crown in 29 years in his first year. Village beat Dandy Town 4-1 in extra-time to wrap up the treble that year and it was against Town on Saturday night that Adams made his return as a player, beaten four times as Town romped to victory.“It was fun to be back out there but I know I wasn’t in any football shape to be out there and I kind of restricted myself to a few things,” he said.“At this point it’s a matter of getting myself back in football shape in case I get called on again. Shaun and I played in the Nelson Bascome Memorial earlier that day so it kind of filtered off that.”Village were missing several starters, including last year’s captain Sammy DeGraff who has retired, but Adams is confident that the only team in the Premier Division never to have been relegated will hold their own this season.“To be honest I haven’t been around, that was my first time around the team, it was really off the whim,” he admitted. “But Village have a lot of talent there, it’s just a matter of getting things back up and running.“I’ve always been a Village man, I’ve been to other clubs but my foundation of football comes through Village. If he (Williams) is going to have work commitments then I’ll be around to support.”Adams is confident the team can improve on the season-opening Charity Cup performance.“From what I saw they were still competitive and missed a few chances early, so I think they have nothing to worry about,” he said. “It was one-nothing up until the middle of the second half and then we went down to ten men (Tariq Jennings was off the pitch briefly after suffering an injury).“The third goal was totally my fault for not advancing and shutting down the angle.”Village open their league campaign on Sunday when they welcome newly-promoted Wolves to Bernard Park. Adams expects to be on the bench or watching from the sidelines.“I’m too old to compete,” says the keeper, who was with Devonshire Cougars about four years ago before moving to the Corona League.“You can never beat experience, you just need to get yourself in shape so that you can do the things that you used to be able to do. I’m not going to beat one of the youngsters to the ball but I can definitely get myself on an angle to make it difficult for them to score.”
