The Bermuda Under-14 boys’ side

The Bermuda Under-14 side are one win away from clinching the Caribbean Football Union Boys’ Challemge Series in Cayman Islands with Sincere Hall scoring twice in a 4-0 win over the host nation last night.

Both teams came into the match looking to remain undefeated after winning their opening encounters.

Bermuda pressed early and had the better exchanges early in the match and were rewarded for their impressive start when Sincere Hall scored in the seventh minute following one of his mazing runs into the box. Hall raced down the left side of the box before beating three defenders and rounding the goalkeeper to slot the ball into an empty net.

Bermuda would go up 2-0 in the 27th through an own goal. Captain Eijaz Shakir floated a free kick deep into the box and the Cayman defender could only manage to head the ball past his own goalkeeper.

Hall made it 3-0 in the 52nd from the penalty spot. He went on another impressive run and was felled by a defender before he could shoot. Hall picked himself up and and easily coverted his spot kick.

Substitute Ahtaio Burgess rounded out the scoring in the 65th minute. Keyni Mills crossed into the box and the clearance fell to the feet of Burgess who calmly rounded his defender and slammed the ball home from the edge of the area.

Bermuda will face the US Virgin Islands on Wednesday with a victory sealing the championship for Bermuda.
