High drama for Bermudian footballers in the UK

Goalkeeper Nathan Trott and his Cardiff City teammates survived a frantic League One match to secure a 4-3 victory over Leyton Orient FC. Trott’s early-season clean-sheet record took a hit, but the win ensures Cardiff collected crucial points in the promotion race.
