Jul 24, 2010 Sports

Following their come from behind 2-2 draw with the Netherlands Antilles and their resounding 5-0 win over hosts Dominica, the Junior Jaguars will be going all out for another big win against Aruba when the Caribbean Football Union’s Under-17 World Cup qualifying competition, Group C ends this today in Dominica.
The Guyanese lead the group on goal difference after their rivals Netherlands Antilles defeated Aruba 3-0 in the first game of a double header on Thursday afternoon in Roseau, Dominica. Conscious of the fact that only the group winner will advance to the next stage, the young Guyanese under the guidance of Head Coach Sampson Gilbert and Guyana Football Federation Technical Development Officer, Lyndon France, will be pulling out all the stops as they aim for a big win this afternoon in their game which will kick off at 15:00hrs.
Dominica and the Netherlands Antilles will square off in the final game of the group but the Guyanese will be seeking to put great pressure of the Netherlands with a massive win against Aruba. Unlike previous years, the scoring has been much more efficient and what has been encouraging is the fact that the midfield (engine room) has been producing even more than the forwards accounting for 4 of Guyana’s 7 goals to date; 2 have come via own goals, one in each game to date.
Elsewhere, in Group D action, Suriname after hammering St. Vincent & the Grenadines 8-0 were held to a 1-1 draw by Grenada who lost their opening game to Barbados 6-0. Barbados who leads the group took care of St. Vincent 3-0 and are on 6 points from their two games.
The Bajans will be going all out for a win when they oppose home team Suriname in their final game from 16:00hrs today, a draw will be enough to see them through to the second stage.
In Group B play, Antigua and Barbuda drew their first game with St. Kitts & Nevis 2-2 while Saint Martin defeated Anguilla 4-1in their opening encounter.
Trinidad & Tobago, Cuba, Jamaica and Haiti are the seeded teams who are already through to the second stage.
