Bermuda Hogges kick off
It appears
Bermuda Hogges official site has ground to a halt, so
Chicago Addick living in Bermuda will now be your point of reference for all things Hogges! Well, in the words of one ex-Charlton manager.... p'raps, p'raps.
For those of you who have no clue what I am on about, the Bermuda Hogges are the island's very own semi-professional football team that compete in the
USL Second Division, the third tier of the American 'Soccer' Pyramid. The USL season has already kicked off and the Hogges' first game is away tonight at staunch rivals
Crystal Palarse Baltimore, the sister team of Croydon's finest, founded by the Orange one in 2006. Tickets are on sale on the night ($16!) so if you're in the
area, get your Addicks top and get down there!
With little or no apparent news on the Bermuda Hogges, I haven't therefore a clue how their pre-season went or who they have playing for them. I did read that the Hogges lost striker John Barry Nusum, one of their few full-time pros to Palarse Baltimore of all places but plan to sign Trinidad and Tobago's Marlon Rojas, a midfielder currently training on the island.
This is
a list of their league fixtures and I do plan to get across to the National Stadium this summer to see Bermuda's finest.
Update Friday 10.30pm: Hogges lose to Palarse 2-0 Pah.
