Bermuda Book World Cup Date with Trinidad

by Shaun Fuentes - The Bahamas slipped past the British Virgin Islands on Sunday to reach the second round of CONCACAF qualifying, where they will be joined by Bermuda who comfortably beat the Cayman Islands on the same day.

And next up –  Trinidad and Tobago will host Bermuda at home on June 15 followed by the away leg on June 22 in its second round tie to commence its South Africa 2010 qualifying campaign.

Recently appointed Bermuda Technical Director Derek Broadley, former Crystal Palace technical staff  member was in Kingston to witness T&T’s 2-2 draw with Jamaica on Wednesday and met up with the local staff at the Airport the following day. Francisco Maturana and Anton Corneal later made the trip to Cayman to view Sunday’s encounter.

"We saw the game and we thought it was important to be here. We know what we have to come up against and what we have to prepare for. We've played these two teams before so knew what to expect from them but in saying that... no game is the same we have to treat each team and each game with the respect it deserves," Corneal said

Sunday's second contest saw Bermuda make easy meat of an improved, but still outgunned, Cayman Island side, according to fifa.com

 After the first leg last month finished in a 1-1 draw, a fortified Bermudan outfit, complete with USA-based Khano Smith, made the trip to Grand Cayman looking to leave nothing to doubt.

Devaun DeGraff, one of eight Bermuda Hogges club players in the side, scored a brace in the first half. Kwame Steed, scorer of Bermuda's goal in the first leg, added another in the 52nd minute, rendering Marshall Forbes strike from the spot mere consolation for the Caymanians.

The 3-1 result on the night (4-2 on aggregate) sees Bermuda move on to the second round of CONCACAF qualifying where they will meet Germany 2006 finalists Trinidad and Tobago over two legs.

Nine other Caribbean and Central American sides booked passage to the second round last week, and they will join up with the Bahamas and Bermuda this summer as qualifying action in the region heats up. (March 31, 2008)
