THE Guyana Girls Under-15 National Team secured a hard-earned victory yesterday, defeating Guadeloupe 1-0 in their ongoing campaign at the 2024 CONCACAF Girls’ Under-15 Championship.
The game was a display of tenacity and teamwork, as both teams vied for dominance on the field. However, the Junior Lady Jaguars were able to command the match, with the decisive goal being scored by Sydney Glean, who found the back of the net before halftime.
With this victory, the Junior Lady Jaguars have shown that their training and preparation are paying off as they build momentum in the competition, and have highlighted their potential and determination to succeed on the international stage.
On Wednesday, the team secured a resounding 3-0 victory against St. Vincent and the Grenadines in their second match.
Glean led the charge for Guyana, netting two goals, while Sabana Simon added another, ensuring a decisive win for the team. This victory comes after a spirited but goalless draw against Anguilla in their opening match, where the young Jaguars demonstrated their resilience and skill despite the lack of goals.
Coach Gavin Fredericks praised his team’s performance, highlighting the importance of their hard work and preparation. “Yesterday [Wednesday]’s 3-0 victory over St. Vincent and the Grenadines is a testament to the relentless hard work and dedication of our players. Our administration’s unwavering support and strategic planning have been instrumental in positioning the girls’ team for success. We are optimistic about achieving favourable results in the future, and continuing to build on this momentum.”
The Junior Lady Jaguars have undergone intensive training in the past month, with the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) fully supporting their journey.
Today, the Junior Lady Jaguars face Guadeloupe in their third match of the tournament. Positioned in League C of the qualifiers, the team will close out the group stage against host nation, Aruba, at the Compleho Deportivo Guillermo Stadium in Oranjestad.
The 2024 CONCACAF Girls’ U-15 Championship is the largest in history, featuring 36 nations divided across three leagues. The Junior Lady Jaguars are competing in League C, which is being held in Aruba. The 18-member squad, a blend of local talent and standout players from the recently-concluded GFF-Blue Water Shipping Under-15 Girls’ National Secondary School Championship, is well-prepared to advance the nation’s hopes.
The GFF extends its best wishes to the team as they continue their campaign in the championship, and is confident in their ability to rise to the occasion in the matches ahead. We remain committed to nurturing these young athletes as they strive for excellence, both locally and internationally.
