Seven of the Island's most promising players will further their education overseas as part of Bermuda Football Association's (BFA) Legends Scholarships Awards programme.

The fourth edition of the annual presentation at the National Sports Centre's cricket pavilion earlier this week saw Jalen Harvey, William White, Reiko Trott, Shakeem Albouy, Jair Minors, Ryan Purnell and Kascia White receive grants ranging from $5,000 to $15,000.

National academy defender William White, who was honoured with the Charles Marshall Scholarship valued at $5,000 per year, said: "I will show the world why Bermuda should be known as not just having great footballers but having all rounded young men that are academic and have great social skills."
