The inclement weather once again had the final say, as Guyana’s league B encounter in the CONCACAF Nations League against the Bahamas, which was initially slated for Saturday at the Estadio Olímpico Félix Sánchez in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, was cancelled once again by CONCACAF yesterday.
This decision by the regional body was confirmed by the Guyana Football Federation, following a post on their official Facebook page. According to a source close to the team, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, torrential rainfall and flooding continued from Saturday and forced the decision to cancel the fixture once more.
The source further stated that a decision is yet to be made by CONCACAF officials as to whether the match will be staged at a later date. Guyana is slated to play Antigua and Barbuda tomorrow at the Estadio Olímpico Félix Sánchez. However, uncertainty looms as to whether the match will be hosted, given the current situation.
The Golden Jaguars only require a point in their final two matches to seal their maiden appearance in League A of the CONCACAF Nations League. Guyana has a perfect 4-0 record to sit atop the standings in Group D. The Guyanese defeated Antigua and Barbuda [5-1], the Bahamas [3-2], and Puerto Rico [3-1, 3-1].
Their 22-member squad reads: Goalkeepers: Quillan Roberts and Akel Clarke; Defenders: Curtez Kellman, Jalen Jones, Marcus Wilson, Colin Nelson, Leo Lovell, Raushan Ritch, Liam Gordon, Jonathan Grant, Amos Ramsay, and Marcus Simmons; Midfielders: Daniel Wilson, Stephen Duke-McKenna, Nathan Moriah-Welch, Darron Niles, and Ryan Hackett; and Forwards: Omari Glasgow, Kadel Daniels, Osaze DeRosario, Deon Moore, and Kelsey Benjamin.
