“This one is tough,” cried St George’s College’s Head Coach Neville Bell as he reacted to news that his captain Dominic James had died.

18-year-old James was recently invited to Jamaica’s Under-20 team. He collapsed roughly two minutes into the game returning to his team’s side after an offensive attack by his school. He remained motionless on the field for a few minutes and was attended to by two medical doctors before being rushed to the hospital.

“I thanked the referees for calling the game off. I don’t know if we could have handled it. I don’t know if the Excelsior team could have handled it because they were so very concerned,” said Bell.
