Williams’ hat-trick propels Girlz to victory
SHENIKA Williams scored a hat-trick to lead Jamaica’s Under-17 Reggae Girls to a 3-1 victory over the Cayman Islands at the TE McField Sports Centre on Friday night.
Williams opened her account after the Cayman Islands opened the score in the fifth minute through Chelsea Brown.
The speedy Jamaican striker levelled the score in the 10th minute, then put Jamaica ahead in the 37th minute to take her team to the interval 2-1. Williams sealed the issue in the 79th minute. Both teams will meet again at the same venue at 3:00 pm today.
The Young Reggae Girlz are in the Cayman Island for a two-match tour in preparation for the final round of CONCACAF World Cup Finals scheduled for Costa Rica from March 10 through 20.
The Girls will have another tour to Trinidad and Tobago next week where they are expected to continue preparations against stiffer opposition.
