CONCACAF U15 GIRLS CHAMPIONSHIP… Team represented well despite injuries sustained
Guyana U14 starting line-up vs St. Lucia at the Concacaf U15 Girls’ Championship.
The National U15 Girls’ team had a creditable start to their campaign in the Concacaf U15 Girls Championship today when they went down to St. Lucia by a 3–1margin at the IMG Academy, Florida, USA.
Guyana’s lone goal was an own goal created when Shacaylah Williams was pressing the defence resulting in an error on the part of the St. Lucians.
Guyana Football Federation’s Women’s International Coordinator, Paul Beresford, said that while injuries were sustained among some players, the team played well. “We played well in the first half for a team that was playing their first match together. However, the team grew a bit tired in the second half in 92-degree heat and humidity. Guyana led 1 – 0 at the half and dominated play. Injuries to two of our players resulted in St. Lucia tying the game. They scored two additional goals in the second half to win the match.”
Guyana’s squad consists of both international and Guyana-based players including two Goalkeepers, six Defenders, five Midfielders and five Forwards.
The international-based players were selected following the hosting of Talent Identification Camps in the United States and Canada.
The starting lineup of today’s match, captained by Samantha Banfield, was as follows: Ludesha
Reynolds (GK), Hasha Holder, Jenea Knoght, Ashaya Doobay, Allianna Holder, Jaida Brooks,
Samantha Banfield (C), Shacaylah Williams, Anastasia Salvadore, Kersti Thomas and Anaya
Willabus.
Guyana’s next match is scheduled for today, August 7 at 09:00hrs against Cayman Islands followed by the Bahamas on August 9 at 11:00hrs. The playoff will begin on August 10, following the group qualifiers, with the finals set for August 13 at 11:00hrs.
