Second-half goals from Cheyna Matthews and Chantelle Swaby led Jamaica to a 2-0 win over Sheffield United in a friendly at the King Power Stadium in Leicester on Easter Monday.
In a largely scrappy affair Jamaica were fairly fluent in build-up but poor final passes denied the Reggae Girls clear opportunities. Shaw had a shot on goal that was saved and on another was put through on goal but hit the shot wide of the upright from inside the box.
The Reggae Girlz opened the scoring in the second half when Swaby headed in from a corner.
Matthews added the second after Bunny Shaw beat an onrushing goalkeeper before cutting back to an open Matthews who tapped into an empty net.
Jamaica used the match as preparation for their upcoming FIFA World Cup campaign in Australia in the summer. Jamaica have been drawn in Group F alongside France, Panama and Brazil.
