Trinidad and Tobago’s under-20 women’s footballers advanced to the next stage of qualifying for the 2008 CONCACAF Under-20 Women’s Football Competition following a comprehensive 11-0 victory over the US Virgin Islands (USVI), yesterday, at the Marvin Lee Stadium, Macoya.
The visitors (US Virgin Islands) were never in the match and conceded their first goal as early as the fourth minute when Mariah Shade put the “Soca Princesses” ahead. Mariah Shade went on to complete a hat-trick, getting her goals in the fourth, 16th and 39th minutes.
The United States-based Kennya Cordner also struck a hat-trick, getting her goals in the eighth, 38th, and 77th minutes. Five other T&T players got on the scoresheet. Bianca Walker got T&T’s fourth goal in the 26th, Candice Edwards scored in the 50th, Avenelle Issac in the 53rd, Arielle Tu Quesnay in the 71st, and Karyn Forbes hit a bullet past Deneque Phillip, the capable USVI goalkeeper, to get T&T’s final goal in the 85th minute.
Although T&T totally dominated their USVI opponents, they looked slow and not very good themselves. They will have to improve significantly if they are to get past the next round of qualification.

Former Coaching Schooler, and newly added Soca Warrior Keon Daniel, is seeing the chance to compete in the Gold Cup as a major stepping stone.
Trinidad and Tobago open their campaign in the four-nation Digicel Shield tomorrow against 2007 Caribbean Champions Haiti at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo.
Fresh in his mind is his experience at the “Theatre of Dreams” while training with Manchester United at Old Trafford two years ago.
And he relishes the opportunity to wear the Soca Warriors national shirt which he has been anxiously awaiting for so long.
“As a young player coming up I always wanted to make the team. I am so glad for this call up. I have been encouraged to work harder and that’s exactly what I’m doing. This is a different level,” Daniel said.
“The experience at Man U was great one because it took me out into the world of football. Bertille St Clair made the arrangements and I had two weeks working in the Academy and I was able experience the works.
“Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney were at the club from that time as well. That exposure showed me how fast the game is and it taught me what is needed to really make it on the big stage.
“I think I have worked on my aggression since then and hopefully I can get a chance to show some of it on a stage with the national team,” added the former TT Under-20 and current Petrotrin player.
He will continue training with the team this weekend leading up to tomorrow’s match with the Haitians.

Trinidad & Tobago striker Dwight Yorke, who now plays for Sunderland AFC, has retired from international football.
Yorke, now 35, played at the 2006 World Cup and has 59 official caps, but has decided to concentrate on the Black Cats’ Premiership promotion campaign.
The former Coaching Schooler and Soca Warriors skipper said: “The time is now right for me to concentrate on my career at Sunderland. It’s been a great personal and professional honour to play and captain Trinidad and Tobago over the years.”
Dwight initially retired from international football in 2001 after a dispute with the Trinidad and Tobago football’s management.
However, he returned to the fray for the 2006 World Cup qualifying campaign after being encouraged by Coach Bertille St. Clair, who was the national coach at the time. Yorke assisted the Soca Warriors in securing their qualification with victory over Bahrain.

Dwight Yorke and Stern John “added some Caribbean class” to Sunderland AFC’s performance as they beat West Brom 2 to 1, and boosted the team’s chances for promotion to the Premiership today. The Trinidad and Tobago pair scored a goal apiece in a combative game at the Hawthorns.
According to Sunderland’s website, Yorke opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, finishing off a good move. After a good run, full-back Danny Simpson fed John on the edge of the box and with a first-time pass he found Yorke. The former Manchester United marksman steered a shot into the corner to stun the home crowd.
Stern finished off scoring in the second half with a header on Dean Whitehead’s corner.
