Bermudian footballer Jamin Hodgkins and his UBCOB Ravens squad endured their inaugural defeat of the British Columbia Men’s Premier League season after a 52‑33 loss to Westshore at Juan de Fuca. The game, played on Canadian soil, marked the first time the Ravens entered a home‑away fixture without a win. Hodgkins, who has been a standout talent for Bermuda’s football community, was among a strong line‑up that had already secured three consecutive victories.

Westshore dominated early, carving out a 38‑14 advantage at the break. The Canadian side maintained control through the second half, ultimately outscoring Bermuda’s attackers and preserving the lead. Hodgkins and his teammates showed resilience, but the experience proved a hard lesson in the competitiveness of the league.

The loss is a reminder of the challenges faced by Bermudian players abroad, where differences in playing style, travel fatigue and climate can influence performance. Hodgkins’ participation in the league continues to bring visibility to Bermuda’s football talent on the international stage. The Ravens will regroup for their next outing, aiming to regain momentum and demonstrate the quality of Bermudian football.

For the local sporting community, Hodgkins’ journey underscores the growing reach of Bermudian athletes and the importance of supporting players who compete overseas.
