Lady Jags to face defending Digicel School football champions today
Guyana’s flagship senior female team, the Lady Jags
The Guyana senior National women’s football team – the Lady Jags – will play their final match today, from 17:00hrs at the Leonora Track & Field and Football facility against three-time defending champions of the Digicel School’s Football championship, Christianburg/ Wismar Secondary School of Linden.
The team under Head Coach Mark Rodrigues is winding down their week-long camp ahead of next month’s Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Olympic Qualifiers in the Dominican Republic.
In the absence of an International friendly as was proposed and announced by Rodrigues, the Lady Jags Head Coach resorted to first facing a Georgetown Under-17 boy’s team in a scrimmage at the same venue on Wednesday last, losing 4-2 after Ashlee Savona and Donna Joseph had given them the early lead. But Rodrgues said that he wanted tougher opposition; one that will force his players to play the type of football that got them to the 2010 Gold Cup and believes that the nation’s top school’s football team would suffice. Coach of the Christianburg/ Wismar team, Anthony Stephens said that he’s happy for the opportunity to face the National female team, adding that the game will give his troops the perfect opportunity to put what was being taught in their practice sessions into action.
The defending champions and the most successful school in the country’s most prestigious tournament, will be playing Annandale Secondary on Sunday at home in Linden and Stephens said that his players understands what’s at stake and as such, will be taking today’s game seriously.
Stephens said that he warned his players about being lackadaisical against the ‘Lady Jags’, since the team didn’t get the title of being Guyana’s most successful football team at all levels by luck.
The Lady Jags he said are a physical bunch and should his players think that they are playing the ‘regular girls’ a rude awakening is on the horizon. Game time is 17:00hrs.
