The Lady Jaguars played to a 2-2 stalemate with Turks and Caicos in their opening League B match of the Concacaf U15 Girls Championship yesterday at the Hillsborough County Sportsplex Field in Tampa Bay, Florida.
This was disclosed by an official release from the Guyana Football Federation (GFF).
Bryan Joseph, GFF Assistant Technical Director, said, “We are happy for the opportunity to have our next generation of female players participate in this Concacaf development tournament. The staff have been working hard at getting the team ready both here and in North America.”
According to Joseph, “The ongoing Blue Water U15 tournament really afforded us the opportunity to scout new talent into the national set-up and we are very excited by what we’ve been able to find. We want to be able to manage the expectations of this group of young ladies especially since they are at the beginning of their international careers, but we also want to see good performances from the entire group over the course of the competition.”
The 17 member squad features nine domestic players and is coached by Delon Williams. The assistant coach is Kayla DeSouza with Natalie Nedd serving as the Goalkeeper Coach. The release did not disclose the goal scorers or the starting XI for the match.
Guyana will face-off with Cayman Islands today at the same venue, before concluding their campaign against Nicaragua on Wednesday. The winner of each group and the best runner-up will progress to the semi-final stage of League B.
