Friday, 21 November 2008
Jamaica's under 20 footballers began their Group H Caribbean second round world cup qualifying campaign with a convincing 4-1 defeat of Antigua and Barbuda in Aruba Thursday night.
Davion Thorpe, Dever Orgill, Romario Campbell and Andre Campbell were the scorers.
The young Reggae Boyz will next face Aruba in their second and final game tomorrow before returning home on Sunday.
Boyz turn attention to Caribbean Cup
Meanwhile, following Jamaica's disappointing exit from the Concacaf world cup qualifying series, President of the Jamaica Football Federation Captain Horace Burrell says he wants positive results from the Digicel Caribbean Cup to be held here in December.
President Burrell recently defended his decision to appoint another overseas based head coach in John Barnes but says he will not accept playing second fiddle at the Caribbean Cup finals to be staged here from December 3 to 14.
Defending champions Haiti, arch rivals Trinidad and Tobago, Guadeloupe, Grenada, Cuba, Barbados and Antigua and Barbuda are the other teams down to compete.
Jamaica is grouped alongside Trinidad and Tobago, Grenada and Barbados in the tournament.
And in the aftermath of Jamaica's disappointing exit a number of players are expected to retire from the national team including ace midfielder Andy Williams.
Williams, 31, who made his debut for Jamaica, in 1996 has played 83 times for the national sides scoring 12 goals.
However, Williams who was called up for the
world cup qualifier game against Canadian did not play and has not ruled out playing for the national side including at the Digicel Caribbean cup next month.
Ian Goodison 35, Tyrone Marshall, 34, and Donovan Ricketts, 31, are some of the other players who could be making their exit from the national team following Jamaica's failure at another world cup attempt.
