Nassau, Bahamas - Soccer fans and those just seeking a fun afternoon with the family whilst aiding a good cause turned out in droves this passed Sunday for the Soccer for Haiti fundraiser at the Thomas A Robinson Stadium in Nassau. The event was organised and hosted by the Bahamas Football Association's Senior League member clubs and their junior teams. Teams used to battling one another instead pulled together to provide sporting, musical and other entertainment for over 1500 spectators. In the first of two soccer matches, the Jamaican XI drew 1-1 with the Rest of the World XI. This was followed by The Bahamas XI versus the Haiti XI match, which ended 0-0 in normal time. Haiti then edged the Bahamas 5-4 in a thrilling penalty shootout. Despite the loss for The Bahamas, everyone emerged a winner as the event was estimated to have raised thousands of dollars for earthquake relief and rebuilding efforts in Haiti... Photos by Tim Aylen
