|
The Bull Bay Football Club emerged as a Cinderella story in local football within the past four years. In 1998 Mr. Barrington Cobra Gaynor, a former national representative, was appointed Technical Director supported by a newly formed management team. The management team, along with disciplined players exhibiting an increased level of professionalism, has secured consecutive championship seasons and a second place finish in the 2001-2002 National A-League Competition.
The Club historically went undefeated in winning the Syd Bartlett (Division Two) championship in the 1999-2000 season and Barrington Gaynor was voted Kingston and St. Andrew Football Associations (KSAFA) Coach of the year. The Club also captured the Most Valuable Player and Leading Goal Scorer awards. We then continued our momentum of success by winning the KSAFA Major League (Division One) Competition, the following season. The Club concurrently went to the quarterfinals in the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) National Federation Cup competition and semi-finals in the KSAFA Knockout Competition in 2000-2001, earning the nickname Giant Killers by the local media, because of victory over several National Premier and A-League teams in the competition. During the 2001-2002 National A-League Competition, Bull Bay team went undefeated for nineteen consecutive games, before eventually losing a game in the final, finishing second in the competition. The Club recorded the most wins in the competition and our vice captain, Milton Griffiths, was the competitions Leading Goal Scorer.
The Club's under 20 team had its most successful season, when they finished second in the KSAFA Alliance Capital Under 20 Competition in the 2000-2001 season. The development of young players was evident throughout the season.
The talented Under 12 team made it to the quarter-final in the KSAFA run competition and was voted the most disciplined team.
The Club also developed a scholarship program based on its connection with overseas colleges. Presently, Luke Hamilton and Kirk Williams are attending William Carey College, while Mahlon Sullivan and Derron Cornwall are attending Meridian Community College in Mississippi. Three other players will be going off to college for the 2002 Fall Semester.
