Well done ladies, well done!!! That was close and a real experience. Wish we could see it and share the joy with you.
Was really praying for this team to get through and pick up more development and international exposure to supply us with the next generation of Ahkeelas amd Maylees, Cordners and Mascalls. I am sure these same girls are their heroes and the feeder groups must be nourished to fluorish

U-20 women book CONCACAF spot.
By Nigel Simon (Guardian).

T&T Under-20 Women Soca Warriors booked a spot in the CONCACAF finals after beating Puerto Rico 4-3 on sudden-death penalty-kicks following a 1-1 draw at the end of regulation and extra-time in their Caribbean Football Union third place playoff in Port-au-Prince, Haiti on Friday.

Playing in the penultimate match of the seven-team tournament at the Sylvio Cator Stadium, both T&T and Puerto Rico were faced with a must-win situation to qualify after host Haiti and defending champion Jamaica won their semifinal matches on Wednesday to secure two of the three available Concacaf places.

T&T, with Celeste Thomas back in the team after missing the 2-0 loss to Haiti in the semifinal due to suspension, started brightly and dominated the midfield early, but it was the Puerto Ricans who grabbed the early goal in the sixth minute from the penalty-spot via Andriana Font.

The Renee Mike-captained U-20 Women’s Soca Warriors then had to change gears a bit and get back in the game, which they eventually did, when Chevonne John latched onto a Kedie Johnson cross to head home for a 1-1 score in the 24th minute, after which both teams failed to add to their tally in the first half.

The second half saw both teams going at each other with opportunities at both ends and this carried through until the final whistle in regulation time. In the extra-time period, the T&T women looked the stronger of both teams but failed to make their superiority count, which saw the match going into the dreaded penalty-kicks shoot-out.

In the penalties, T&T did not get off to the best of starts as Swasha Woznuk saw her attempt pushed onto the upright while Puerto Rico also missed.

Johnson then converted for T&T before vice-captain Naomie Guerrea’s attempt was saved followed by successful strikes from team-mates Kelsey Henry and Shaunalee Govia for a 3-3 score at the end of the first five attempts from each team. T&T goalkeeper Rebecca Almondoz saved Puerto Rico’s final kick, which would have seen the spanish-speaking squad advance.

John then stepped up and scored T&T’s first effort in sudden-death, while Puerto Rico hit the post to hand T&T victory and a place in the CONCACAF Finals to be held in Honduras, December 3-13. In the CFU U-20 final, host Haiti blanked Jamaica 2-0 with a goal in the 19th minute from Batcheba Louis and a second-half strike from captain Kensia Destinvil.

Three teams from the Concacaf eight-team finals will advance to the 2016 Fifa Under-20 Women’s World Cup in Papua New Guinea.

Spence wants better prep for U-20 Women
By Nigel Simon (T&T Guardian)

Jason Spence, coach of the T&T Under-20 Women Soca Warriors, which booked a spot in the eight-team Concacaf Finals last Sunday in Port-au-Prince, Haiti is calling for more support for the team ahead of the next phase of qualifiers in December.

The T&T Renee Mike-captained Under-20 women got the better of Puerto Rico 4-3 on penalty-kicks following a 1-1 draw at the end of regulation and extra-time in their Caribbean Football Union third place playoff at the Sylvio Cator Stadium.

With the win, the Under-20 Women Soca Warriors joined eventual champions, Haiti and runner-up Jamaica as the CFU qualifiers for the December 3-13 Concacaf eight-team tournament from which three teams will advance to the 2016 Fifa Under-20 Women’s World Cup in Papua New Guinea.

Prior to the win over Puerto Rico in the playoff, the T&T Under-20 women, minus eight regulars from their first round series in St Vincent and The Grenadines due to injuries and schools commitments, whipped Curacao 4-1 and then drew with both St Vincent and The Grenadines (1-1) and Jamaica (2-2) for the second spot in the group behind the “Reggae Girlz”, before a 2-0 semifinal loss to Haiti.

Speaking after his team’s final match on Friday last, Spence said: “The girls have certainly showed their character with the limited resources and certainly deserved the qualification spot.”

In the CFU First Round Group Four qualifiers, T&T had wins over St Vincent and The Grenadines (2-0) and Dominica (6-0), but for the next phase in Haiti Spence had to do without the services of Zoe Swift, Chelcy Ralph, Corel Carmichael, Eden Charles, Ranae Ward and USA-based Amaya Ellis, the daughter of former Queen’s Royal College standout Mark Ellis due to injury or school commitments.

In their place, Spence drafted in Kedie Johnson, Jaasiel Forde, Shenieka Paul, Ranelle Pascall, Jordan Van Reeken and Demeisha Bailey and looking ahead, the T&T coach says he expects the team to get stronger.

“We now have a wider pool of players to choose from as the players who were involved in the CFU first round qualifiers in St Vincent and The Grenadines in July, and missed this phase will be coming back with the team when training resumes.

“We will have a couple days off and get back on the training pitch on October 31, to begin our preparations for the finals in Honduras which of course is going to be a tougher phase.

“The girls know it’s lots of hard work ahead to prepare for the Concacaf finals and they are certainly up to it.”

The T&T coach also praised All Sports Promotions, boss Anthony Harford who he said was very instrumental in helping the team to get to Haiti.

“As a team we have stepped up and shown our appreciation to Harford by qualifying for the Concacaf finals and for the next phase we will take a lot more, so I really hope that the powers that be will step in and insure we are given what’s needed to really compete at the next level.

“This includes, weekend camps, easy access to quality training venues, bus transport to and from the sessions as well as meals, and certainly quality practice matches,” ended Spence.

Matouk says U-20 Women will get it right
By Shaun Fuentes (TTFA)

National Under-20 women’s player Maya Matouk rated this country’s third place finish at the recent Caribbean Football Union Final Round Women’s U-20 championship as satisfactory.

Matouk, who scored in T&T’s opening win over Curacao, said: “Personally, I felt deep satisfaction when we placed third. It was crucial that we won this game against Puerto Rico. Although we entered the tournament with expectations of winning the final we were content securing a slot in the Concacaf round. As a team we were overjoyed to achieve this as we left our blood, sweat and tears out on the field.”

T&T defeated Puerto Rico 4-3 on penalty kicks to win the third place playoff after both teams played to a 1-1 draw after extra time.

Looking ahead to the tournament in Honduras which will pit T&T against the likes of United States, Mexico and Costa Rica, the University of Tampa student said, “As a team we know we have rigorous training sessions ahead and we are already prepared to make sacrifices towards our journey to Honduras. About five of our players including myself reside abroad and will continue to train with our respective schools in order to be at our prime for the next round.

“I must say that the entire management team is always in contact with us and encourage us to keep on track with our training programme. We know we will face tougher teams but without a doubt Coach Jason Spence and the entire staff will continue to strengthen us on and off the field. We have an outstanding team that continues to grow and build and we will make Trinidad and Tobago proud.”

Three teams from CONCACAF will qualify for the 2016 FIFA Under 20 Women’s World Cup in Papua New Guinea.

Spence unhappy with women preparation.
By Nigel Simon (Guardian).

Six days before this country’s Under-20 Women Soca Warriors start the final phase of qualification towards the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup Papua New Guinea 2016, coach Jason Spence and his technical are uncertain about the team’s involvement.

Contacted yesterday, Spence said the team was still awaiting confirmation from team manager, Jamiyla Muhammad on the securing of the plane tickets for the 28-member team, 20 of whom are players to head to San Pedro Sula, Honduras.

The Under-20 T&T women booked their spot in the eight-team Concacaf Finals after getting the better of Puerto Rico 4-3 on penalty-kicks following a 1-1 draw at the end of regulation and extra-time in the Caribbean Football Union third place playoff at the end of October, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

Following the team’s qualification from the CFU qualifiers, Spence said he hoped that the powers that be will step in and insure the team got what’s needed to really compete at the next level.”

His request included, weekend camps, easy access to quality training venues, bus transport to and from the sessions as well as meals, and quality practice matches.

However, none of the request made by Spence was lived up too by the T&TFA and speaking yesterday, the frustrated coach said over the past couple of days he has had to do double training sessions to make up for time lost.

He added, “Some of the players on the team were also part of the Under-17 team that only returned from their CFU tournament on Tuesday, while one of the overseas players is still to arrive.”

“The reality is that I had ten players for the most at some of the sessions, so this weekend sessions are actually the first I will be having with the entire squad since we last played in Haiti and I will be doing all that I can do in the time we have before we depart.

With regards to the departure of the team, Muhammad said she was still awaiting word from National Teams Operations Manager, William Williams on the request for the more than US30,000 to secure the tickets. She explained, “Concacaf is taking care of accommodation for all teams, and as soon as we returned from Haiti, we sourced invoices for flights to Honduras because Concacaf requested all teams arrival by December 1.”

“But as we speak, we are yet to get the money for tickets and it now looks like we will not be able to get a flight as well on December 1.

“Our departure now looks like December 2 and then we have to open our campaign against Canada, the following day, so it will be tough going.

Today, the Rene Mike-captained Under-20 Women’s Soca Warriors will continue their preparations with a training session at St Mary’s College Ground, Serpentine Road, St Clair.

A few players who missed the last tournament in Haiti, but competed in the previous round in St Vincent and The Grenadines, Zoe Swift, Chelcy Ralph, Corel Carmichael, Eden Charles, Ranae Ward and USA-based Amaya Ellis, the daughter of former Queen’s Royal College standout Mark Ellis are expected to be in the final roster.

When is this madness going to stop regarding the women's programs. Just another reason for those who have votes tomorrow not to vote RTK back in. Spence you keep speaking out as its time our coaches who are fighting for what's right for our players get the resources they need to ensure our teams preparations for tournaments are proper.

It is totally unacceptable that the TTFA cannot get the team into its destination when Concacaf requires. It's not like they have not been advised about the date far in advance. I said it in the presedential elect thread which nobody has answered. Which candidate has put it his platform in writing as to his support of our women's programs. Anybody can answer that question ??

Spence you keep fighting the fight
We support you
