Following their crushing 6-0 win over Montserrat in their Group ‘A’ opener, the Golden Jaguars will battle Saint Vincent and the Grenadines this evening at 18:30hrs in the CONCACAF Men’s U20 Football Championship Qualifiers at the Nicaragua National Football Stadium.

The Guyanese romped to the win led by a hat-trick from Captain Nicolas MacArthur alongside solitary goals from Omari Glasgow, Dorwin George and Ravon Bailey respectively. Guyana are currently second in the group, behind hosts Nicaragua on goal differential after the latter mauled US Virgin Islands 8-0 in their first match.

A win will move Guyana one step close to qualification, as only the group winner will progress to the elimination round. Guyana’s playing roster consists of Goalkeepers Shawn Adonis, Defenders Nicholai Andrews, Kemule Batson, Joseph DeFreitas, Keanu Lawrence, Eric Moore, Marcus Wilson, Midfielders Bailey, Jamar Harrigon, Hutson Hazlewood (overseas), Darron Niles, Threvon Pluck, Forwards Glasgow, George, McArthur and Osafa Simpson.

Upon the conclusion of the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines encounter, Guyana will battle US Virgin Islands on the 21st from 20:30hrs before ending their campaign against the host nation on the 23rd.
