It’s been a weekend of contrasting results for Bermudian footballers plying their trade overseas, with everything from hard-fought draws to season-opening wins and difficult defeats.
In the USL Championship, Khano Smith’s Rhode Island FC battled to a scoreless draw against Loudoun United FC. In a physical encounter, both sides had chances, but neither could find a breakthrough, with a pair of shots hitting the woodwork. The result sees Rhode Island take a point from the match.
Across the Atlantic, Remi Coddington and his Bracknell Town FC teammates have started their new season in the Pitching In Southern Football League with a positive result. They secured a 1-0 victory over Berkhamsted at the Glencar Community Stadium, a perfect way to kick off their campaign.
In the NWSL, Mia Fishel was on the road with Seattle Reign against rivals Portland. Despite a high-scoring affair, her team came up short, falling 4-2 in a tough contest.
Meanwhile, in Finland, Djair Parfitt and his FC Haka teammates suffered a defeat in a crucial match against FF Jaro. The home side secured all three points with a 2-1 victory, leaving Haka without the desired result.
Finally, looking ahead, Nia Christopher is preparing for her second season with Fort Lauderdale United FC. After a rookie year where she appeared in 13 matches, notching one assist and four shots on target, the 24-year-old forward will be looking to build on her experience as she heads into the new campaign.
