BAHAMAS STUN JAMAIACA 1-0
The Bahamas Men's U-23 National Team stunned Jamaica 1-0 today in the CFU Group H Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. After losing heavily to Haiti on Tuesday, the team had it all to play for, and play they did. The team weathered Jamaica's onslaught in a first half that saw Jamaica outshoot the Bahamas considerably, somewhere around 35-2.
But the match certainly lived up to the catch phrase "A game of two halves". After a less than friendly half time talk, Technical Director Neider Dos Santos' boys came out and played the game of their lives. The Bahamas matched wits and ability with the Jamaican team, and truly deserving of the effort given, got the goal that mattered in the 80th minute. The "stunner" came in the 83rd minute from froward Lesley St. Fleur, who after some good interpassing found himself clear and coolly slotted home the match winner. The goal sent a wave of emotion through the entire Bahamian delegation in Haiti, and was rousingly cheered by the Haitian crowd in attendance.
The result will also send a shock wave through the entire Caribbean, and sound a warning that the Bahamas is on the move. Technical Director Neider Dos Santos' work ethics with the squad, and the effort put in by the entire technical staff and players shows just what the Bahamas is capable of. BFA President Anton Sealey was awash with emotions on learning the news of the result. "This is a fantastic result for Bahamian football and shows what we are capable of if we truly commit to the task at hand." Sealey and his team of executives took some strong and controversial decisions to put the Bahamas on its present track and feels that this result lends credibility to the work being put in at all levels. "This result is not something that has happened overnight, but rather as a result of decisions made to focus on youth some 10 years ago, to put much of the association's effort and attention into developing the game over that same period, and to the committed effort of many coaches, parents, administrators and players, buying into the idea and working along with it." Football in the Bahamas certainly still does have a long way to go, but today's result shows that the path currently trodden is the right one. The result of the U-23's in Haiti against such formidable opposition as Jamaica is a tremendous one and every coach, player and administrator involved deserved a hearty congratulations for a job well done. The team returns to the Bahamas on Friday, October 12, 2007 at 4:55 pm
