BVI fall to St Kitts & Nevis in opening game of WC Qualifiers
Having fallen into a 3-0 hole after a fast paced first half, the BVI rebuilt, corrected a few errors and put up a tremendous second half performance, to not only keep the hosts goalless, but also created many opportunities to score for themselves.
However, it was not until into the last five minutes that reward for endeavour was gained when Lilly Pierce was brought down in the penalty box and the BVI were awarded a penalty.
Katie Lowery took the responsibility and calmly slotted home to make it 3-1.
There would be no further scoring at either end though and St Kitts took all three points.
After the game, the BVI Coach, Katie Rowson, was very upbeat at the team’s performance.
“I’m so proud of the team, the whole idea of the game was to better our performance from twelve months ago and we did that. I’m very happy, we were organised how we wanted to be, but not happy about conceding the three goals. At half time we spoke about correcting a few individual things and had a much better second half.”
The Girls had Sunday off and will be playing against Trinidad and Tobago at 5.30pm tonight.
T&T whip Dominica 4-0
In the other game in the Group, Trinidad and Tobago had to put up with a fight from their opponents, Dominica, as both teams were locked 0-0 at half time.
Kaydeen Jack would eventually put T&T ahead in the 66th minute and three more goals would follow in quick succession for a 4-0 victory.
Head coach for T&T Rajesh Latchoo, though pleased with the opening win, said he didn’t feel his team played to its full potential.
