St. Kitts and Nevis' Senior Men's team head coach, Francisco Molina, has unveiled his squad for the upcoming CONCACAF Nations League matches, as the Sugar Boyz prepare to take on the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands in crucial League C encounters.

The Sugar Boyz will play in two matches at the Truman Bodden Stadium in the Cayman Islands. On September 7, they face off against the Cayman Islands, followed by a clash against the British Virgin Islands on September 10. These matches are crucial for the team’s aspirations in the CONCACAF Nations League, and Coach Molina is confident that his squad has what it takes to rise to the challenge.

The squad, carefully selected for the task at hand, features a mix of seasoned players and emerging talent. In goal, the team will rely on the expertise of Julani Archibald, who will be supported by Kai Trotman and Joshua Warde.

In defence, the Sugar Boyz will look to Malique Roberts, Omarion Liburd, and Andre Burley to provide stability, while Marvin McSheen and Raheem Hanley add depth and versatility to the backline.

The midfield is anchored by the dynamic Tyquan Terrell, alongside Jahlyan Burt, Kyle Kelly, and Yohannes Mitchum, who bring a blend of creativity and tenacity. Nequan Browne and Mervin Lewis are expected to contribute their experience, while Theo Wharton offers an additional attacking option.

Upfront, the team boasts an array of attacking talent, with Tiquanny Williams and Javern Matthew leading the charge. They will be joined by Kimaree Rogers and Shevene Boston, whose speed and agility are sure to trouble opposing defences. De'quan Hamilton and Dionis Stephens add further firepower, while the promising G’vaune Amory rounds out the attacking lineup.

As St. Kitts and Nevis aim to make their mark in the competition, the nation will be eagerly watching, hopeful that the Sugar Boyz can deliver strong performances and bring home vital victories.

Trudi Carter and Khadijah Shaw each scored hat-tricks as Jamaica clobbered The Cayman Islands 9-0 on Saturday to set up a top-of-the-table showdown with the unbeaten Dominican Republic at Sabina Park on Tuesday.

Carter scored in the seventh, 16th and 17th minutes as Jamaica scored five in the first half against the home side playing at the Truman Bodden Stadium in Georgetown. Tamoy Phillips’ own goal in the 12th and Jody Brown’s goal in the 14th meant that Jamaica scored all five goals within the first 20 minutes of the match.

Miraculously, Jamaica failed to add to the scoreline in the remaining time before the interval.

The domination continued after the break as Shaw scored three within 11 minutes (54’, 56’, 65’) as Jamaica boosted their goal-difference advantage over the Dominican Republic which were only able to defeat Bermuda 1-0.

Kayla McCoy came on as a substitute for Shaw and added her name to the score sheet in the 88th minute to complete the rout.

The lopsided victory means Jamaica leads Group C with the maximum of nine points, the same as the Dominican Republic but Jamaica has scored 19 goals and conceded one in their three matches. The Dominican Republic has 14 from their three matches, which means that they need to defeat Jamaica on Tuesday to win the group and advance to the next round of competition.

A win or a draw for Jamaica means they advance.
