Young Girlz to face Nicaragua

Jamaica's national under-20 women's team will look to end their World Cup qualification series in Mexico on a high when they take on Nicaragua Saturday in their final group ‘B' match. The Reggae Girlz went down to identical 3-1 defeats to Costa Rica and Canada respectively and will be playing for pride when they meet fellow win less team Nicaragua. Shakira Duncan scored both of Jamaica's goals and has come in for praise from Coach Xavier Gilbert.

"She did well for our team ... she was our main weapon and we're pleased with her two goals. It's unfortunate that she didn't get anymore but she created some good opportunities and gave the Canadians trouble up front," he said.
Coach Gilbert said they will be going all out for a win in their final game. "We just want to leave the competition on a high note ... make the Jamaica, parents and all the supporters of Jamaica's female programme happy and of course the Girlz are upbeat and looking forward to giving their best in the game on Saturday," he said.
