Jamaica's under-17 defeated Trinidad and Tobago 1-0 in their international friendly at the Anthony Spaulding Sports Complex this afternoon.
Orane Watson scored the winner in the 77th minute, clipping the ball past Trinidadian goalkeeper Ailan Panton.
The match was the first of a two-game series between the two countries in preparation for the Concacaf Under-17 Championships, which begins on February 11. The top four will qualify for the FIFA Under-17 World Cup that takes place in Peru from November 10-December 2.
The young Reggae Boyz will face Trinidad and Tobago again on Tuesday at St Elizabeth Technical High School, starting at 4:00 pm.
