All not lost for Team Bahamas
Team Bahamas gave host Barbados a run for their money during the second round of the CONCACAF/Digicel Gold Cup Caribbean Zone Qualifier this weekend. However, our 'Rake and Scrape Boys' fell 2-1, and were set to play Bermuda yesterday evening at 6 pm. The result from that match was unavailable up to press time. Team Bahamas is in Group G along with second round host Barbados, Bermuda, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines."It was a very close game end-to-end," said senior men's National Team Head Coach Gary White. "We had a lapse in our concentration between the 40th minute and half-time, because it was still nil-nil up to the 40th minute," he further explained, speaking about the loss from his hotel room in Barbados yesterday.
Considering that the higher ranked Barbados team only beat them by one goal, White was asked if this was a match that our 'Rake and Scrape Boys' could've won.
