Freddie Jones etched his name into the annals of Bermudian football this weekend when the Ocean View F.C. squad secured a hard‑fought 2‑1 victory over St. George’s Colts at Corrie Brook. The 20‑year‑old striker netted both goals, the first arriving in the 22nd minute after a slick team move and the second a powerful header in the 73rd minute.
The match marked a milestone for Jones, who has been a mainstay of Ocean View’s attack since his promotion from the youth ranks last year. His performance earned him the club’s Player of the Match award and, more importantly, a new record: he became the first Ocean View player to score twice in a single Premier League fixture since the club’s inception in 1994.
Beyond the on‑field drama, Jones’s contribution has resonated with the local community. A resident of St. George’s, he has been actively involved in the club’s “Kick‑start” youth initiative, mentoring 10‑year‑olds in the area. Club president, Michael Blake, remarked, "Freddie’s talent is matched only by his commitment to giving back to the community.
The win positions Ocean View second in the league table, just three points behind leaders Hamilton Parish. With the season entering its final stretch, the club’s supporters are hopeful that Jones will continue to be a catalyst for success.
