Season ends with whimper for Bermuda pair

On the bench: Lambe scored five goals for Mansfield this season

Reggie Lambe and Rai Simons were both unused substitutes as the curtain came down on their English football seasons at the weekend.

Simons played no part in Chesterfield’s 2-0 defeat away to Bradford City in the Sky Bet League One.

The 19-year-old striker enjoyed a promising start to the season, scoring five goals by January 2, bagging a brace at home to Shrewsbury in manager Danny Wilson’s second game in charge after replacing Dean Saunders.

Simons, however, fell out of favour during the second-half of the season, featuring in only four more games.

He made 22 appearances in his first full season in English football and will hope to have done enough to have earned a new contract at the Proact Stadium.

Chesterfield finished eighteenth in the table, seven points clear of the relegation zone.

Lambe was also an unused substitute in Mansfield Town’s 0-0 draw at home to Cambridge United in League Two.

The 25-year-old midfielder scored five goals in 39 appearances this season, with Mansfield finishing twelfth in the table, 11 points adrift of the play-offs.

Freddy Hall, the Bermuda goalkeeper, kept a clean sheet as Limerick made it ten wins out of ten with a 3-0 win away to Cobh Ramblers in the SSE Aircity League First Division on Friday night.

Limerick, who suffered relegation last season, are already 22 points clear at the top of the table.

All three players are expected to be available for Bermuda’s second-round Caribbean Cup matches against French Guiana and Dominican Republic next month.

Bermuda take on French Guiana on June 1 at the Stade Municipal Dr Edmard Lame in Cayenne before returning to the island to face Dominican Republic at the National Stadium three days later.
