Guyana recorded their second consecutive win in League C of the CONCACAF Girl’s U-15 Championship following a 1-0 win over Guadeloupe yesterday at the Guillermo Prospero Trinidad Stadium in Oranjestad, Aruba.

Guyana’s starting XI comprised Jasmine Ross, Ella Yhip, Kimora Edwards, Veronica Chatta, Ayah Stewart, Allia Henry, Ellie Biffin, Sydney Glean, Mariah Woolford, Sabana Simon, and Lily Biffin. The contest was decided in the first half as Glean recorded the only conversion.

With the win, Guyana climbs on seven points with a record of two wins and a draw. The Guyanese will end their group campaign today against Aruba at Compleho Deportivo Guillermo Stadium in Oranjestad.

According to a CONCACAF release, “All three leagues will include a group stage and a direct elimination knockout stage, and each will crown its champion. The number of teams per league will be determined based on the Concacaf Women’s U-17 Rankings of March 2024 and the final number of participants.”

Guyana competed in League B of the 2022 edition, which was staged in Tampa Bay, Florida, USA. The Guyanese, who competed in the event with only 14 players due to travel issues, ended with a record of two losses [1-3 Cayman Islands, Nicaragua] and a draw [2-2 Turks and Caicos].
