Twenty three players were selected by national coach Jamaal Shabazz for a week-long camp, ahead of the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Under-20 Women’s Final Round qualifiers here in Trinidad.
The camp will be held at Frederick Settlement, Caroni and runs from Sunday until the start of the CFU contest on November 13.
According to Shabazz, the technical staff will take a look at the 23 players during the course of next week, before narrowing the squad to 18 on November 11.
The players will test their readiness for the series when they oppose the national senior squad in a practice match from 4 pm on Sunday at the Larry Gomes Stadium, Arima.
Under the captaincy of Aveann Douglas, the Under-20 unit includes a number of experienced players, including the American-based trio of Katrina Meyer, fellow defender Kia Rigsby and striker Maylee Attin-Johnson.
Other senior players on the training squad are goalkeeper Gail-Ann Thomas, defenders Ayanna Russell, Christine Rose and Anastasia Prescott, playmaker Dernelle Mascall, winger Jamilia Mathlin and pint-sized forward Kennya Cordner.
Completing the team are goalkeepers Kamica Forbes and Tricia Lawrence, defenders Patrice Superville, Tamar Watson and Kenya Charles, midfielders Karen Forbes, Janine Francois and Stephanie Barrow, and strikers Janeil Nivet, Candice Edwards and the lanky Bianca Walker.
The CFU tournament, featuring Jamaica, Suriname and Haiti kicks off on November 13 with a double-header at the Larry Gomes Stadium, with Haiti opposing Suriname and TT meeting Jamaica. Two days later, Jamaica will face Suriname and the national team hosts Haiti while, on November 17, the Jamaicans square off against Haiti while the TT lasses meet Suriname.
The top three teams will advance to the CONCACAF Final Round Qualification in Mexico, following which three teams will progress to the 2006 FIFA Women’s Under-20 World Championships in Russia.

Our women team could be so much better, than it is. But we do not support them as we should and as a result we allow anything to happen with the team. Just look at the coaching staff.

[baby face]

i think if ttfa adverise the female football teams and let the public about the uncoming game by advertising on tv it would help.

Beaten Women U-20s look to rebound.
Kern De Freitas (Express).[/size]

The Trinidad and Tobago women's Under-20 team stumbled in their quest to qualify for the CONCACAF round of qualifying for the World Youth Championships when they were beaten 1-0 by Jamaica in Caribbean Football Union qualifying on Sunday night.
A lone item provided by Shanique Mitchell after a goalkeeping blunder by T&T's Trisha Lawrence, left the young female "Warriors" without a point in their first match of the series, at the Larry Gomes Stadium, in Arima. Haiti and Suriname are also involved.
In the first half, T&T could have gone ahead on several occasions, but the finishing lacked the aggression necessary to counteract the physical play of the Jamaicans.
The hosts kept the pressure up, backed by a vocal crowd at the Malabar Stadium, and had several near misses in the first half, the best of which came from T&T's US-based striker Maylee Attin-Johnson.
She was sent through by Anastasia Prescott on the left flank, but lost out on approaching goal in a one-on-one with Jamaican defender Yolanda Hamilton.
Attin-Johnson's striking partner, the diminutive, tricky Kennya Cordner also missed out on a great ball a few minutes later, as she was slow to react, allowing the Jamaican defence to clear.
The Jamaicans were consigned to shooting from outside the box for most of the half, as the back four of Prescott, Kia Rigsby, Ayana Russell and Katrina Meyer held the backline well on a wet and slippery surface.
Just before the interval, T&T skipper Aveann Douglas had a crack at goal, but her chip went awry.
The two teams started slow for after the break, with T&T settling first. But although they exhibited better passing skill than their counterparts, the Jamaicans made good use of their physical power and superior speed in defence.
They were given an opening in the 62nd, but Venicia Reid missed the far post with Lawrence committed to a dive.
In the 66th, Douglas headed a Dernell Mascall left-side corner into the side netting. From the ensuing Jamaican attack, the ball was played into space beyond the 18-metre area. Russell and Lawrence ran to intercept, but the latter's weak clearance dropped at the feet of Mitchell, who raced into the box and deposited in the far corner.
The goal gave the Jamaicans impetus to press forward, but they made little use of their speed. At the other end, T&T were desperate for the equaliser, but Attin-Johnson and company could not find the net when it counted.
In the earlier match of the double-header, Suriname also had a win over Haiti, Aisha Smit finding the net in the 48th and 68th minutes to seal a 2-1 victory over Haiti.
T&T next face the Haitians today in a double-header at the same venue from 7 p.m. Before that, the Jamaicans tackle Suriname in the first match, at 5 p.m.

TRINIDAD & TOBAGO: Trisha Lawrence; Katrina Meyer, Anastasia Prescott, Kia Rigsby (Jemilia Mathlin 58th), Ayanna Russell, Patrice Superville (Kermica Alexander 69th); Dernelle Mascall, Aveann Douglas (capt), Janine Francois (Karyn Forbes 53rd); Maylee Attin-Johnson, Kennya Cordner.

JAMAICA: Paula Jackson; Julie Fearon, Natanya Manyan, Stacy-Ann Johnson (capt), Yolanda Hamilton; Rochelle Bryan (Shereen Clarke 60th), Peta-Gaye Soman (Kenesha Reid 87th), Omolyn Davis (Shakira Duncan 73rd), Kimmia Parker; Venicia Reid, Shanique Mitchell.

U-20 women in Mexico finals.
By: Joel Bailey (Newsday).[/size]

Strikers Maylee Attin-Johnson and Kennya Cordner each scored twice to guide Trinidad and Tobago to a 4-0 trouncing of Suriname in the final match of the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Women’s Under-20 series at the Larry Gomes Stadium, Arima on Thursday night.
Attin-Johnson found the back of the net in the 14th and 35th minutes while Cordner was on target in the 22nd and 59th minutes.
In another match Jamaica completed their unbeaten run in the round-robin competition with a narrow 1-0 victory over Haiti, courtesy of a 77th minute strike from Venicia Reid.
Reid was later adjudged the "Most Valuable Player" while Cordner got the "Golden Boot" as the top goalscorer with four goals. The hosts were also recipients of the Fair Play Award while the Best Goalkeeper accolade went to Jamaican Paula Jackson.
Haiti, who were beaten in their three matches, were the odd ones out as Jamaica, TT and Suriname all advanced to the CONCACAF Under-20 Final Round qualifiers in Mexico in January.
Those three teams will join two Central American teams including Panama, Canada, the United States and the Mexicans in the eight-team competition, with three teams progressing to the 2006 FIFA Women’s Under-20 World Championships in Russia.
Following Thursday’s match, national coach Jamaal Shabazz noted: "I think we improved with every game and we were able to have a lot of questions answered in terms of who would be ready to play at the next level.
"The good thing is that we tried all 20 players (who) got a chance to play at least 30 minutes," he added. "We know we have a lot of work to do for the CONCACAF leg of the tournament."
"Generally we need to raise the level of our game but I think we’re going to emphasise more defensive organisation because of the fact that, in the CONCACAF region, we’ll be meeting opponents who’ll be superior to us," said Shabazz.
And he will be getting back into action very soon as the squad prepare for the Final Round phase.
"The good thing is that (during) the Christmas vacation we will have the availability of the foreign-based players so we will get a chance to do some work," he stated. "We’ll rest for a week and we’ll get back into action," he said.

CONCacaf Teams are so predictable. We continue to give away early goals.
 Oh well. I guess we will hear and be grateful that we only got 2 from Mexico. And that will be a plus to take away from this tournament.
 Then we will do like the men's team and bring in the foreign base.
 The more things change the more they remain the same. Trinidad has a monopoly on that saying.

[Mose]

I for one am not grateful that we only got 2 from Mexico. I was hoping/looking for us to possibly win that game and now I'm expecting us to beat Panama and I will be rather disappointed if we don't.

The USA captured their first CONCACAF Women’s Under-20 Tournament Title after a 3:2 victory over Canada in the 2006 Final at the Estadio Luis Pirata Fuentes in Veracruz, Mexico on Friday. COMPLETE STANDINGS
With both teams already qualified to the 2006 FIFA Women’s U-20 World Championship in Russia, the stars & stripes took a 1:0 lead in the CONCACAF finale with a goal by Amy Rodriguez in the opening eight minutes, but Aysha Jamani tied it for the maple leafs in the 56th minute of the second half.
Jodi-Ann Robinson gave Canada the 2:1 advantage in the 60th minute-mark, but Jessica Rodstedt leveled the match for the USA 12 minutes later.
Lauren Cheney scored the game-winner for the stars & stripes in the 81st minute as it ended the maple leafs’ nine-game winning streak in CONCACAF Women’s Youth Qualification.
Earlier in the day, Mexico gained the final Confederation berth to the 2006 FIFA Women’s U-20 World Championship after defeating Jamaica 4:1 in the CONCACAF Tournament’s Third-Place game at the Estadio Luis Pirata Fuentes.
The tricolores opened the scoring in 19 minutes into the match with an own goal by the reggae girlz’ Christina Murray, but Venicia Reid tied it in the 33rd minute-mark.
Nancy Gandarilla gave Mexico a 2:1 lead two minutes into the second half and then Verónica Charlyn Corral scored in the 68th and 90th minutes, respectively, for the 4:1 final as it will be the tricolores second appearance in a FIFA Women’s Youth Tournament later this year in Russia.

2 surprising results in a sense but good for the women's game overall.

nah dem results ent so surprising. the rest of the world ketch up with them us women, some time ago, even on senior level, so doh talk about youth level.

China always been very strong and Korea been showing some real good stuff since.

Brazil reaching the semifinals is actually more surprising than the us not reaching the finals. Doh feel is because is brazil that mean they good in football. Mostly years now the brazilian women playing crap, they just tend to have one or two extremely gifted players who carry the whole team (like Marta in the olympics), but overall they tended to be weaker than the american, german/sweden and chinese (and now korean) counterparts

T&T girls gear up for U20 football qualifiers.
By: Shaun Fuentes (TTFF).

Trinidad and Tobago’s National Under 20 Women’s team captain Alana Lum York believes that her team is progressing at the right pace ahead of their Caribbean Football Union leg of World Cup qualifying games set to kick off here next month.
The T&T team, coached by Izler Browne and managed by Ricarda Nelson returned home from Curacao on Monday after coming away victorious in a four-nation warm –up tournament hosted by the Netherlands Antilles.
The young girls defeated Aruba 1-0 with Candace Edwards scoring the lone item and then came from a goal down to get the better of Suriname 3-1 in the final on Sunday. Natana Thomas, Karyn Forbes and Moriah Shade were the ones on target in the closing fixture.
Lum York, a current Real Dimension member and past student/ player with 2005 Girls Intercol Champions Providence Girls, was not getting carried away by the back to back wins but added that the wins were a boost for her charges.
“It was maybe everyone’s first international except for a couple girls because the average age is 17.  But we have been working hard for the past few months and it showed up in the tournament because we were able to run past those girls. Even in the final when we were down 1-0 early on but we showed good character to come back and win the game,” Lum York told TTFF Media.
She recalled the pre-match jitters for the players before their first international away from home.
“We were all very nervous but also anxious for the first game. The anthem as well as a significant moment. We have a wonderful coaching staff and they have worked really well with us. They are always behind us. I think we have done well so far but we still have work to do to get ourselves really up for the challenges ahead,” Lum York added.
Nelson, a past national player appeared excited about the future prospects for the team.
“Some of these girls can go straight into the senior team set up. We have one player in particular Avanell Isaacs who can start training with the senior team at this stage. She comes from Moruga and was with us before at a young age but didn’t make the first team. She disappeared from the scene for a while but she’s back again and she was a standout in Curacao.. We have some girls here who can definitely move on to the next level. We saw weaknesses and strengths to build on in those two matches. The girls all  have a good attitude towards hard and a lot of heart so it’s just a matter of continuing the preparations towards the tournament in August and beyond.
T&T will host the CFU first round group at the Marvin Lee Stadium on August 5, 7 and 9 with US Virgin Islands/British Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic and Grenada contesting for the one place available in the CONCACA Final round. The one winner from that group along with two other CFU group winners will join Canada, Costa Rica, Mexico, Nicaragua and United States in the CONCACAF Women’s U-20 Final Round, with venue and dates to be announced in due course, from which the top three nations will advance to the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, Chile in 2008.

T&T U20 Women’s Team:

Kenya Charles, Patrice Bideshi, Jerneil Nivet, Crystal Sobers, Avanell Isaac, Denisha O’Brien, Chrystal-Anne Taylor-Lewis, Annalis Cummings, Kelly-May Christopher, Natana James, Avalon White, Bianca Walker, Moriah Shade, Julienn McDougall, Karyn Forbes, Candace Edwards, Chanelle Young, Alana Lum York.
