Jamaica's U17 team wrapped up their preparation for the Concacaf World Cup qualifiers following their second 1-0 win over their Trinidad and Tobago counterparts at the St Elizabeth High School today.

The young Reggae Boyz got the lone goal in the fourth minute when Adrian Reid converted a penalty after Nahshon Bolt Barrett was brought down in the area.

For the second time running both teams took part in a penalty shoot-out with the Jamaicans coming out on top 4-2.

The Jamaicans are set to fly out of Montego Bay on Thursday en route to Guatemala for their first match in the qualifiers against Cuba on Sunday.
