Trinidad and Tobago Women U-20 win final warm up in Santo Domingo
TTFA Media


Trinidad and Tobago’s Under 20 Women completed their slate of warm-up matches ahead of the CONCACAF U-20 Women’s championship with a 3-1 victory over Dominican Republic Women’s Club team Abril LDF on Wednesday at the San Cristobal Training Centre.

Cayla McFarlane of Polytechnic put T&T ahead 1-0 in the 37th minute and Maria Frances Serrant regained the lead for T&T in the 53rd minute after the hosts had equalised. The in-form Afiyah Cornwall of Waterloo Institute then struck her fifth goal in three matches to seal the win for the Richard Hood-coached team. She came off the bench to net in the 69th minute.

“This was another good performance by us. The opposition provide a different type of challenge and the exercise served our purpose. It’s good to have another win under our belts heading into the competition but we will ensure that there is no complacency as the major assignments are still ahead of us. The focus now is on our next opponent which is St Kitts/Nevis on Sunday,” Hood told TTFA Media.

Hood told Wired868 that" “[Attin-Johnson] has been instrumental in talking to the girls about that passion and fight we need to see from them when they are wearing red, white and black,” said Hood. “[…] She is a good influence on the players because she was a fighter. She told them that ‘if we can’t beat them tactically or technically, we have to [outfight them]’—and that is what we are asking them to do.”

(Team x Abril LDF)

Trinidad and Tobago Women’s U-20: K’lil Keshwar (GK); Chrissy Mitchell, Latifha Pascall, Tsai-Anne Fernandez, Arnelle Douglas; Megan Rampersad, Sarah De Gannes; Sydni Greaves, Alexcia Ali, Tori Paul; Cayla McFarlane.

Substitutes: Chelsea Ramnauth (GK), Nathifa Hackshaw, Shalisha King, Aaliyah Prince, Aaliyah Pascall, Sydney Boisselle, Maria-Frances Serrant, Afiyah Cornwall, Roshun Williams.

Coach: Richard Hood

Hood was forced to make two changes to his 20-player roster this week, as North America-based defenders Shalisha King and Sydney Boisselle were ‘replaced for medical reasons’. Signal Hill Secondary and Jewels FC forward Celine Loraine and El Dorado East Secondary and Trinity Nationals midfielder Moenesa Mejias were called up to take their places.

Under head coach Stephen De Four, the last time T&T played St Kitts they won 4-1 in T&T at senior level which eliminated T&T from the Tokyo 2020 Olympic qualifying series. St Kitts are coached by American Jené Baclawski.

(Trinidad and Tobago Team)

Goalkeepers: K’lil Keshwar (St Francis College—USA), Chelsea Ramnauth (Fyzabad Secondary);

Defenders: Chrissy Mitchell, Latifha Pascall, Tsai-Anne Fernandez (all Pleasantville Secondary), Arnelle Douglas (Brock University—USA), Nathifa Hackshaw (Rangers FC), Roshun Williams (Waterloo Institute);

Midfielders: Sarah De Gannes (Internazionale—Canada), Megan Rampersad (Wellington Wave—USA), Moenesa Mejias (El Dorado East Secondary), Aaliyah Pascall (Pleasantville Secondary);

Attacking midfielders: Aaliyah Prince (Northeast Texas Community College—USA), Maria-Frances Serrant (Diego Martin Central), Cayla McFarlane (Polytechnic School—USA), Alexcia Ali (Pleasantville Secondary), Tori Paul (Charlotte Independence—USA), Sydni Greaves (Cedar Stars Monmouth Longwood University—USA);

Forwards: Afiyah Cornwall (Waterloo Institute), Cecile Loraine (Signal Hill Secondary).

Coach: Richard Hood

Excerpt from Wired868 regarding the call up:

Quote
“I saw [Celine Loraine] only twice but I saw enough to see that she had something,” said Hood. “The problem was we couldn’t bring her over on a regular basis, so she could challenge for one of the available spots… She has a good shot on her and she can hold up the ball. She’s not a bad player at all.”

Better must be done. The net effect is inequality for Tobago and it's the player(s) who suffer(s).

Trinidad and Tobago U-20 Women start qualifying campaign against St Kitts and Nevis
TTFA Media


Trinidad and Tobago’s Under 20 Women’s Team will kick off their quest for World Cup qualification when they face St Kitts/Nevis from 1pm TT time on Sunday in their opening Group F fixture at the Estadio Panamericano in San Cristobal, Dominican Republic.

Fellow Group F rivals Haiti and Cayman Islands will clash at 4pm.

On the back of two successive wins in their training matches including a 3-0 win over Puerto Rico, T&T will be aiming to start on a winning note to stake an early claim for qualification into the knockout stage. The top three teams from the group advances.

“For the most part the players are fit and raring to go and they are looking forward to getting on the pitch and hopefully achieving our goal which is to get a victory,” Richard Hood told TTFA Media.

“We have been working really hard and we had a much deserved day off on Thursday. We have seen with each passing day that the confidence is growing within the squad. We are passing the ball better and there is much better understanding of their roles and functions and it’s been a joy in seeing the positive development in the players. We are looking forward to a good start and solid showing in the tournament,” Hood added.

There have been two changes to the squad with defender Shalisha King and Sydney Boiselle departing due to medical reasons and Celine Lorraine of Jewels FC and Moenesa Mejias of Trinity Nationals joining the contingent.

Afiyah Cornwall is expected to be T&T’s main weapon in attack, scoring five goals in three matches during the build up. She came off the bench in the closing 15 minutes to score in the 3-1 win on Wednesday over local club Abril LDF which included six members of Dominican Republic’s Senior Women’s Team.

Cornwall leads T&T to an impressive 6-0 drumming of St Kitts.
By Inshan Mohammed.


U-20 Women's team captain Afiyah Cornwall led her team by example after scoring a whopping four (4) goals as T&T devours St Kitts 6-0 to start off it's CONCACAF U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifiers on a positive note today at the Estadio Panamericano in San Cristobal, Dominican Republic.

Cornwall started her rout of St Kitts as early as the 3rd minute. Maria-Frances Serrant robbed the opponent's left-back Iyanla Bailey-Williams off the ball and squared it for the lurking Cornwall to hit a one time shot into the far corner of the net for the game opener.

Cornwall was just getting warmed up and added two more items. One in the 24th minute when Sarah De Gannes lifted an accurate pass over the Kittians' defence for Cornwall to latch onto and made no mistake from 30 yards out beating the St Kitts' custodian Quinn Josiah to her left and into the back of her net.

The inform striker's confidence was growing and on the stroke of halftime, Cornwall literally ran through the entire St Kitts defence and shoot one pass the stranded Quinn Josiah, who could only look on in frustration as the ball entered into the net.

With goal number three on the board, the Young Soca Princesses' headed into their locker room with all smiles and a comfortable three goal advantage.

First-half substitute, on for the injured Tori Paul, who had to be taken off because of an ankle injury. Striker Aaliyah Prince of Northeast Texas Community College started off where Cornwall had left off and got things rolling as early as the first minute of the second half. Getting on the end of a right-side cross by Chrissy Mitchell, Prince made no mistake as she hit a one time shot pass Josiah.

Three first half goals and 3 second half goals were destined for T&T. By then T&T were sailing 4-0 but had two more goals left in their chamber.

The first, came from Diego Martin Central FC midfielder Maria-Frances Serrant who compounded to St Kitts' misery in minute 58 when she took advantage of an errant pass by defender Eve Richards. Serrant picked up the loose ball, keep her composure, had to beat the advancing goalkeeper before slotting home item number 4.

St Kitts did not offered much of a contest for T&T apart from one shot on goal by attacker Jahzara Claxton that hit the outside of T&T's goalkeeper Klil Keshwar’s upright in the 50th minute. The Sugar Girls were outmatched in every department. Then cramps start­ed to take its toll on them as sev­er­al players went down and had to be stretched off the field by team­mates and med­ical staff.

For T&T however, the best was yet to come from Cornwall who showed flashes of brilliance and silky skills even in the dying minutes of the game, there were obviously no fatigue in the number 9 legs. The T&T captain wasn't done with St Kitts just yet and was thirsty for more goals and eventually got what she desired in the 90th minute.

An unselfish pass from Pleasantville Secondary striker Alexcia Ali, who squared it for her captain and, with no better person to give the ball too, Cornwall did not let her teammate down. The T&T captain collected the pass and raffled home a thunderous shot from the top of the penalty box that sizzled pass over the head of substitute goalkeeper Craivecia Sutton for probably the goal of the game.

Mind you, Alexcia Ali could have opted to shoot on goal instead of making the pass to her captain as the attacker is no stranger to scoring goals herself.

The diminutive and talented Ali racked up 35 goals for Penal Secondary in 2017 and repeated her goalscoring form for Pleasantville Secondary during the 2018 SSFL season with another 35 goals and possibly, a national record. With both schools, Ali was instrumental in helping them win the Intercol and Zonal Secondary School Football League (SSFL) titles.

Alexcia Ali attained many awards including; the 2018 and 2019 SSFL female player of the year (MVP). Made the 2018 and 2019 SSFL all star teams respectively and, the top 5 girls of the 2018 and 2019 SSFL season, alongside none other than, Afiyah Cornwall.

Cornwall meanwhile, the real star of the show, had now completed her 4-goal haul and played a pivotal role in guiding her Country to victory and a productive start to the tournament.

The beaver-trick added Cornwall's name into the local archives by surpassing T&T's Laurelle Theodore who once hold the record for her hattrick in a 5-2 win over Honduras in a third-place play off match in the 2014 Under-15 Championship. To take it a bit further, it was Trinidad and Tobago’s largest ever victory in a Concacaf tournament and eclipsed their 5-1 win over Guyana on the 16th of February 2016 in the Olympic qualifying tournament.

Up next for T&T is a date with the Cayman Islands on February 25th and then possibly T&T's strongest opponent to come, Haiti on February 27th.

Cornwall’s four leads T&T to opening win in CONCACAF U-20s
TTFA Media.


Trinidad and Tobago’s Under 20 Women, powered by a four-goal performance by captain Afiyah Cornwall made a perfect start to the CONCACAF U-20 Women’s Championship Group F campaign with a 6-0 shut out of St Kitts/Nevis at the Estadio Panamericano in San Cristobal on Sunday.

Playing in blistering hot conditions following kick off just after midday, T&T didn’t take long before settling and seizing control of the game. Cornwall turned home a low right footed effort into the left corner on three minutes to put Richard Hood’s team in front. Maria Frances Serrant pressed on the right of the box to win possession before playing inside for the skipper to do the rest

It would take another 23 minutes before T&T doubled their advantage with Cornall again, this time collecting a ball played over the top before calmly slotting a low right footer past the goalkeeper. Cornwall would complete her hattrick in added on time, weaving her way past three St Kitts players before directing a right footed shot into the left corner of the net for a T&T 3-0 lead at the break.

Substitute Aaliyah Prince pushed T&T 4-0 ahead with an item early in the first half and Serrant got in on the scoring when she picked up a through ball and rounded the advancing custodian before hitting home on 58 minutes. Cornwall left her best for last. Receiving the ball from Prince before rifling a right footer from the top of the box into the roof of the net. St Kitts managed a couple tries on goal, one which came hit the woodwork in the second half but hardly tested a solid T&T back-line.

Cornwall was delighted with the start made by her side.

“It’s an amazing feeling to come away with a win in our first match. The girls did what the coaches taught us to do and I hope we can continue this form for the remainder of the tournament,” Cornwall told TTFA Media after the win.

“I’m proud of my performance. I’m just happy to have played my part in getting the three points. The last goal was amazing and it couldn’t have come at a better time to cap off the win for us. Like I said, the important thing for us was to get the win and hopefully we can keep on growing as the tournament goes on,” Cornwall stated.

Coach Hood emphasised the importance of starting with a win ahead of the remaining group games against Cayman Islands on Tuesday and Haiti on Thursday.

“I think it was important for us to get off to a good start. The girls started a bit nervously which is expected. However they settled down well and we started the move the ball the way we wanted to, we started to press the way we wanted to. And we scored an early goal which I think we really helped to calm the nerves,” Hood told TTFA Media.

“The girls had in mind the last time St Kitts beat our senior team and they wanted to have that bit of a revenge today so they were motivated to play this game. It was important to keep a clean sheet. We gave up a couple chances but it was good to keep the clean sheet. We don’t want to concede any goals and we work harder on defence than on attack.

“Afiyah is a monster for us right now and she can’t seem to do any wrong. She is leading the line and leading the team well. She is motivating players around her and working hard offensively and defensively. I couldn’t ask more of her today and I’m really proud and happy for her getting the four goals today,” Hood added.

“Our defensive shape can improve. We have some work to do on the back four. We will get better with every game but the most part I was satisfied with the organisation and communication,” he ended.

The win was the first for T&T in any form of competition under President William Wallace and the first at the CONCACAF U-20 Women championship level since a 4-0 win over Cayman Islands on January 12th, 2014.

There is an element of willful hype in the mix.

Last week he was discussing the NAAA's travel arrangements to the Bahamas and he was presented with a lucid rendition of Caribbean Airlines' position by Dionne Legoure ... yet he embarked on embracing the most unlikely interpretation of facts that were not in dispute, topped off by playing post-interview a recording of an ad for the show that while somewhat appropriate for airing before the interview ... was definitely inflammatory at best post-interview ... particularly in light of what had been fleshed out for any discerning listener.

He either didn't wish to be wrong, simply was more interested in the hype or just failed to absorb the distinctions with which he had been presented.

All of this was quite at odds with the reason he demonstrated while engaging Bajan cricket journalist, Ezra  Stuart, last week ... that is,  other than inartfully trying to protest a point that Stuart expressed. Protest=screaming.

If you're the interviewer, yuh really doh need to "go there" even if on the phone and even if the guest is marching on blindly voicing his opinion and can't be corralled in the manner one would employ in-studio.

Enthusiasm is no excuse. Hype and excitement of this nature detract from responsibility in delivery on the airwaves.

hey lefty, just here to thumbs up your post. I really can’t stand that bloke either. To think he endorsed DJW while campaigning against David Cameron was nothing short of shocking. He has an end of the year award (biggest boo boo in sports) but did not nominate DJW at least once, IMO that beyond shocking, yet had the nerve to nominate William wallace for the secondary school football president. that told me all I need to know about the worst sport commentator on the planet.

If an englishman from Yorkshire were to vacation in trinidad and tuned in to his commentary of the game, that englishman would think he was listening to the game in a different language. awful awful diction and very colloquial in his commentary. don’t know how he landed the gig TBH, the man has nothing going for him in that regard.

hey lefty, just here to thumbs up your post. I really can’t stand that bloke either. To think he endorsed DJW while campaigning against David Cameron was nothing short of shocking. He has an end of the year award (biggest boo boo in sports) but did not nominate DJW at least once, IMO that beyond shocking, yet had the nerve to nominate William wallace for the secondary school football president. that told me all I need to know about the worst sport commentator on the planet.

If an englishman from Yorkshire were to vacation in trinidad and tuned in to his commentary of the game, that englishman would think he was listening to the game in a different language. awful awful diction and very colloquial in his commentary. don’t know how he landed the gig TBH, the man has nothing going for him in that regard.

Spot on, no mixed up moods and attitudes.

Hmm. T&T teams could win competitive games yes. I almost forget what dat feel like
to hear andre baptiste tell it yuh would tink d house falling down dat selfish prick is no patriot

There is an element of willful hype in the mix.

Last week he was discussing the NAAA's travel arrangements to the Bahamas and he was presented with a lucid rendition of Caribbean Airlines' position by Dionne Legoure ... yet he embarked on embracing the most unlikely interpretation of facts that were not in dispute, topped off by playing post-interview a recording of an ad for the show that while somewhat appropriate for airing before the interview ... was definitely inflammatory at best post-interview ... particularly in light of what had been fleshed out for any discerning listener.

He either didn't wish to be wrong, simply was more interested in the hype or just failed to absorb the distinctions with which he had been presented.

All of this was quite at odds with the reason he demonstrated while engaging Bajan cricket journalist, Ezra  Stuart, last week ... that is,  other than inartfully trying to protest a point that Stuart expressed. Protest=screaming.

If you're the interviewer, yuh really doh need to "go there" even if on the phone and even if the guest is marching on blindly voicing his opinion and can't be corralled in the manner one would employ in-studio.

Under-20s face Caymans to advance.
T&T Guardian Reports.


T&T's Un­der-20 So­ca Princess­es will face the Cay­man Is­lands on Tues­day, in a match that could as­sure them a place in­to the knock-out phase of the tour­na­ment.

The match will be played at 1 pm at the Es­ta­dio Panamer­i­cano in San Cristo­bal, San­to Domin­go, Dominican Re­pub­lic and match officials are obliged to allow water breaks in mid-game, due to the sweltering heat. The T&T team got a per­fect start to their cam­paign, fol­low­ing their 6-0 thump­ing of St Kitts/Nevis on Sun­day, cour­tesy a beaver-trick (four goals) from Afiyah Corn­wall in the win.

The win came af­ter the Richard Hood-coached team de­feat­ed Puer­to Ri­co 3-0 in a warm-up match, and al­so clob­bered a Dominican Re­pub­lic Club in an­oth­er prac­tice match last week. Hood was yes­ter­day high in praise for his girls, say­ing it was an amaz­ing feat to win their open­ing game of the tour­na­ment. But he, how­ev­er, told the me­dia that he hopes the girls can con­tin­ue with good per­for­mances throughout the tour­ney.

Yes­ter­day the Cay­man Is­lands were at the end of a heavy 8-0 rout by the re­gion's emerg­ing pow­er­hous­es Haiti and will be there­fore be hop­ing to re­bound against the T&T team this af­ter­noon if they are to have any chance of pro­gress­ing.

A win over the Cayman Islands would guarantee T&T a place in the Round of 16 and mean they enter their final group outing against Haiti with a chance to top Group F.

Three teams from the group will ad­vance to the win-and-out stage, which Hood told the me­dia more than a month ago, will be the pe­ri­od that could go in any di­rec­tion for T&T, as they will be set to face some of the pow­er­hous­es in the CON­CA­CAF re­gion.

Trinidad and Tobago Women U-20 advance to the knockout stage of the 2020 Concacaf Women's U-20 Championship with a 2-0 win over Cayman Islands. Goals by Maria-Frances Serrant and Afiyah Cornwall did the trick.

U20 Women advances to the knockout stage with 2-0 win over Cayman.
By Inshan Mohammed.


T&T National U20 Women's team was made to work hard by a stubborn Cayman Islands side, but managed to pull off a 2-0 victory over their opponent and a guaranteed spot in the knockout stage with only Haiti standing in their way, if, they are to finish as group winners.

As the CONCACAF U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifiers continues at the Estadio Panamericano in San Cristobal in the Dominican Republic. Trinidad and Tobago couldn't have asked for a better start in this year's tournament but had to dig deep to accomplish that, especially from a team playing with five defenders at times.

Infact, Cayman Islands were the first to attack and almost scored in the first 11 seconds of the game. Thankfully for a fine block by Trinidad and Tobago custodian K’lil Keshwar on their star player Molly Kehoe, T&T survived the scare.

With nothing much to report on in the first half. T&T did managed a few shots on goal including a rocket left-footed shot from Cayla Mc Farlane that crashed off the woodwork. The Cayman Islands goalkeeper Satiah Miller was beaten by Mc Farlane's shot only to be relieved that the goal post (goalkeeper's best friend) showed up and came to her rescue.

Cayman Islands meanwhile, was having a very good game compared to the heavy 8-0 defeat they received from Haiti in their tournament opening game. Today, they came out a different team and looked much more organised, having a Trinidadian-born coach (Stephan De Four) that knew the T&T players very well aided to his team's strategy.

Their defence held strong and they did not make it easy as Soca Princesses had to wait until the 78 minute to break the deadlock.

Maria-Frances Serrant of Diego Martin Central gave T&T the one goal lead and some much needed breathing space. Her well taken goal came when Sarah De Gannes initial shot was not properly cleared and the loose ball fell into the path of Serrant who got to it first and hammered her shot into the roof off the net leaving Satiah Miller with no chance, one up T&T!

The second goal came and with seconds counting down on the clock, T&T's attacker, none other than team captain, Afiyah Cornwall, also got one the scoresheet. The prolific striker just cannot stop scoring at the moment and added another goal to her name on the stroke of full time and into injury time, her 94th minute goal sealed the slender but, hard fought 2-0 victory for the Women Warriors.

Second half substitute Tori Paul, back from injury, was having an amazing game since she came on and provided a pinpoint leftside cross for Cornwall to latch onto, which she probably would have. However, Cayman Islands defender Lauren Scott got to the ball first but couldn't fully connect and her clearance hit the feet of Cornwall and was guided into the net.

But I'm sure Cornwall wouldn't mind which ever way she gets the goal, once her name is on the scoresheet is all that matters and required, from a striker, job done.

Since arriving in the Dominican Republic, Cornwall has bagged 9 goals to date, including a hat-trick against Puerto Rico in a friendly match and her 4-goal haul versus St Kitts & Nevis in the tournament opener. So far, Cornwall has scored 2 hat-tricks before the half-time whistle was blown and nine times from her last four appearances.

The second highest goal scorer  for T&T is midfielder Maria-Frances Ser­rant, who've scored three goals thus far. Both players scored again today and continue on course to finish as T&T's top goal scorers in 2020.

Speak­ing af­ter the match, coach Richard Hood said he was pleased with the team’s over­all per­for­mance, not­ing that they had achieved their first ob­jec­tive of qual­i­fy­ing for the next phase. How­ev­er, he ad­mit­ted he was not hap­py with how many goals the team threw away and some as­pects of their de­fence and at­tack.

“Over­all, I’m pleased with the ef­fort from the girls to­day. I thought they worked hard in some re­al­ly dif­fi­cult con­di­tions and I’m hap­py mov­ing in­to the sec­ond round, so we’ll do our re­cov­ery work and see what to­mor­row brings in train­ing and pre­pare for the game against Haiti.”

Up next for T&T is a date against group favorites, Haiti, this Thursday (February 27th), game starts at 3:00pm.

T&T will have to keep close eyes on captain Melchie Daëlle Dumornay who, took over where their last U20 star player Nerilia Mondesir left off. Only 16, Dumornay has already played and scored for all four Haitian Women teams including the; U-17, U20, U-23, and their senior women's team. Dumornay also became the youngest player at 14, to play in a FIFA World Cup (2018) at the under-20 level.

Dumornay had a Golden Ball performance at the 2018 Concacaf Women’s Under-17 Championship, scoring five goals as Haiti finished in fourth place. While Mondesir made history at the Under-20 World Cup in 2018 when she became Haiti’s first goal-scorer at a Women’s World Cup.

The last time both teams met at this level was in 2018 in which Haiti came out victorious. The talented Nerilia Mondesir tormented T&T defence the entire game and got a hat-trick for diligence, that helped Haiti come-from-behind to defeat the home team 3-2 at the Ato Boldon Stadium. The Jamaal Shabazz coached team blew a two goal lead to a well organised Haitian side. Current players; Klil Keshwar, Megan Ram­per­sad and Aaliyah Prince were all part of the Haitian defeat.

Meanwhile, as previously mentioned, former T&T Women’s U17 and U20 head and assistant coach Stephan De Four is currently the head coach of the Cayman Islands Women teams and also is in-charge their Women’s Football program. De Four was in charge of the Soca Princesses up until December 2019 before being relieved off his duties for Police FC head coach, Richard Hood.

Ironically, the Trinidadian-born coach has coached all three teams in T&T's group as he was also in charged of the Haitian Football Association Women’s Program, where he served as head coach of the senior women's and youth teams respectively.

Tournament History.

This competition began in 2002 as the CONCACAF U-19 Women’s Championship, serving as a qualifier for the first-ever U-19 Women’s World Cup. The inaugural tournament was played in Trinidad and Tobago as the USA and Mexico won their groups and advanced to the World Cup in Canada.

North American squads have dominated the biennial tournament - the USA, Canada or Mexico have finished as finalists at all nine previous editions. In 2018, Haiti became just the second non-North American team to qualify for the U-20 World Cup with its third-place finish. Costa Rica is the only other Central American or Caribbean nation to qualify, finishing third in 2004, 2010 and 2014.

Looked at these games and I noted a few tings dat made me happy
-Defending from the front, attackers actually trying to surpress counter-attacks.
-Compactness- Our centre backs  on or close to the halfline in attack and the keeper looked to also be in position to sweep if necessary. AND said defenders were passing well and displaying calm and composure on and off the ball
- Passing, movement and positioning looked great, it was nice to see our girls not looking like toddlers on the ball and being able to handle and display physicality

Apart from some more physical conditioning they looked good for the most part onto Haiti

Dumornay is in fact Haiti's best player at 16, she played and scored for all 4 Haitian women teams (U-17, U20, U-23, and the senior team) and not to mention she has already played in the U-20 world cup as a 14 year old in 2018. the youngest player to start at 14 in the 2018 WC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yFXJpGFrsw, She replaced Nerilia Mondesir in the u-20 Squad who's the Carribean all times scoring leader at the U-20 level.. ( Nerilia Mondesir in action the all times Caribbean scoring leader in action, one of her many Hat tricks : (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsoMEDHtgf0)
