Bermuda girls finish with a flourish
Bermuda 2 Cuba 0
Bermuda recorded a huge victory over Cuba to secure fifth position in League B at the Concacaf Girls Under-15 Championship in Trinidad & Tobago this morning.
In a clash the between the best two runners-up from the four groups, Nila Samuels opened the scoring in the seventeenth minute, before Milan Gibbons-Thomas added the second with a brilliant turn and shot ten minutes into the second half.
It was a massive victory for Bermuda since Cuba entered the match unbeaten from three outings in group E. The Cubans finished with seven points but lost out on goal difference to Honduras, with the two having played to a 2-2 draw.
Bermuda’s win is a huge morale-booster for Don Vickers’s side after suffering their only loss of the tournament less than 24 hours earlier in group F — 3-0 to Dominican Republic — which shattered their dreams of making it to the semi-finals.
