GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Island (CMC) —There were contrasting results for Caribbean football teams on Friday in the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) Under-15 tournament.

Bermuda helped break Group A open with a 3-0 win over previously undefeated Cayman Islands at a packed Truman Bodden Stadium. Onego Lowe scored just before the stroke of half-time, and Osagi Bascome added a second just minutes into the second half, as the visitors put off a strong rally from the hosts despite the support of a standing-room- only crowd for the third straight night at the National Stadium.

Aruba also remained undefeated in Group A, as Jean Pierre Van Der Linden scored six of the 10 goals in a 10-0 win over US Virgin Islands. The goal haul puts Van Der Linden atop the scoring charts for the time being at the Championship, with nine goals, one ahead of Cayman’s Leighton Thomas Jr.

In the other Group A fixture of the evening, the Bahamas recorded their first win of the tournament with an impressive 8-0 result over St Maarten, featuring seven different goal scorers.

Guatemala rolled to the top of Group B with a 5-1 win over St Lucia, as man of the match Esteban Garcia added three goals to help the Central Americans coast to the win. Ekiel Greenidge added the goal of honour for St Lucia.

In perhaps the surprise result of the evening, Belize powered past Jamaica, 3-1, at Truman Bodden. Alvin Sifontes and man of the match Randy Augustine had the Central Americans up two after just seven minutes, a lead they never looked in danger of losing.
