I missed it but I hear veteran newsman Bryan Darby bowed out of the local media in style last week. Signing off, he assured VSB listeners that Bermuda’s soccer team were out of the World Cup, having drawn 0-0 in Cayman. Unfortunately, Bryan had been taking the news from the ESPN site which didn’t update the score until the end of the game. Bermuda won 3-1 to win 4-2 on aggregate and earn a tie with the Soca Warriors of Trinidad & Tobago.

Enjoy your retirement in Canada, Darbs – we will miss you. The last of a generation of legendary journo rogues and gentleman.
