Bermuda have several overseas-based players returning for tomorrow’s friendly match with Canada at the National Stadium.

Reggie Lambe, of Carlisle United, and Bristol City youth player Osagi Bascome have flown in for the match, as have defender Danté Leverock, formerly of Harrisburg City Islanders in the United States but now seeking an opportunity in England.

Also back from England are goalkeeper Jahquil Hill and defender Roger Lee. College students Killian Elkinson, Rai Sampson, Willie Clemons and Oneko Lowe, who helped Dandy Town win the recent Player Development League Festive Tournament, will also be involved.

Locally-based players are getting an opportunity to represent their country, along with under-20 team members, with goalkeeper Ajai Daniels of Dandy Town included along with Azende Furbert of North Village and BAA youngster Jahkari Furbert.

Zeiko White, the Devonshire Cougars captain, is included along with team-mate Mikiel Thomas as well as Shayne Hollis of North Village.

Teenager Keishon Bean of PHC also gets a call-up, although fellow Zebras midfielder, Marco Warren, who has had an outstanding season, is reportedly injured.

Lambe, who captained Bermuda in their last international in the absence of Nahki Wells, is likely to captain the team.

Gates open at 1.30pm for the 3pm kick-off and fans can purchase tickets today at the BFA office from 1-5pm and tomorrow from 10am to game time.

n Bermuda team: Jahquil Hill, Ajai Daniels, Roger Lee, Jalen Harvey, Danté Leverock, Zeiko White, William White, Killian Elkinson, Reggie Lambe, Osagi Bascome, Shayne Hollis, Azende Furbert, Willie Clemons, Oneko Lowe, Lejuan Simmons, Rai Sampson, Zenawi Bowen, Mikiel Thomas, Jahkari Furbert, Keishon Bean.

n Devonshire Colts will play Somerset Eagles tomorrow at Police Field at 12.30pm in their rescheduled Premier Division match, postponed on January 8.

Colts, knocked out of the FA Cup by First Division X-Roads last weekend, are bottom of the Premier Division, tied on four points with Dandy Town.

However, victory for the home side would see them move off the bottom and ahead of Eagles in eighth place.

Colts and Eagles played to a 2-2 draw in their first meeting at White Hill Field when Colts threw away a 2-0 lead.
