The young Reggae Boyz have extended their unbeaten run in the 2024 Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Boys’ U-14 Challenge Series last evening whipping host Trinidad and Tobago 2-0 in a crucial Tier I Group A clash at Dwight Yorke Stadium.

The goals came from Davion Clarke in the 28th minute and Corlando Morris in the 37th minute. This victory represents the third straight success for the young Reggae Boyz, who now sit atop the group on a maximum nine points, three ahead of Trinidad and Tobago with six points.

St Kitts and Aruba follow with each on one point in the development tournament, which sees games played over 70 minutes. The young Reggae Boyz dominated proceedings from the off as they bossed possession and were more threatening in open play. 

Jamaica breaks deadlock

They inevitably broke the deadlock when a Kyle Hussey pass found Clarke, who drove past Christian Tefler in goal for the twin-island Caribbean republic. Even though Jamaica continued to create chances, the young Reggae Boyz had to wait until the 37th to add to their tally, as Morris capitalised on a defensive error and slotted home early on the resumption.

With 10 goals to their tally so far, the Jamaicans, who are yet to concede, will be aiming to keep their perfect win record intact heading into the next round, when they face Aruba in the final group game next Tuesday at 5:30pm Jamaica time at the same venue. Trinidad and Tobago will face St Kitts and Nevis.

Meanwhile, Bermuda completed their Tier II Group C play with a 1-0 win over St. Lucia at the Ato Boldon Stadium, their fourth in as many games. This puts them atop the group on 12 points.
