Guyana’s National Women’s football team, commonly known as the ‘Lady Jags’, have begun their Caribbean Football Union (CFU) women’s challenge campaign with a goalless draw against Grenada on Wednesday evening.

Consisting of nine newcomers to the international scene, the team had an impressive showing, breaking down Granada’s defense on multiple occasions. Unfortunately, the Guyanese ladies were unable to reach the back of the net.
“We were able to break down their backline several times, but we didn’t quite have the composure to finish those chances,” Head Coach Dr. Ivan Joseph stated.
However, Joseph was particularly pleased with the team’s performance, highlighting their strong offensive plays.
The Lady Jags are in Group E of the series, and will come up against Guyana’s eastern neighbours, Suriname, today at 16hrs. In their next match, the women will face home team Trinidad and Tobago on Sunday at 17.30hrs. All matches are being played at the Ato Boldon stadium in the twin island republic.
The national team will use the CFU series as a preparatory tournament for the CONCACAF qualifiers that are coming up in May of this year.
“We were able to break down their backline several times, but we didn’t quite have the composure to finish those chances,” Head Coach Dr. Ivan Joseph stated.
