Providenciales, Turks and Caicos – A comprehensive 3-0 victory in their final match brought little joy to the Cayman Islands national women’s team who missed a spot in the final round of CFU qualifiers.

A double strike from Shenel Gall (45th, 68th) and Shanelle Frederick (89th) gave Cayman their first win of the tournament but didn’t fulfill the ultimate goal.

CIFA President Jeffrey Webb, applauded the ladies on their effort.

“Congratulations to the ladies team for their brave, hard fought effort. CIFA will continue to support the continued development of women’s football, with an eye towards the future and greater success at the regional level.”

The national team ended their time in Turks with a 1-1-1 record and return home keen to rebuild and maintain their young side for the future. Ten of the national team players contested the CONCACAF Under 20 Championship back in January and several were making their debuts on the senior national team.

Cayman needed to win by six clear goals and needed St Kitts and Nevis to defeat Bermuda. Neither instance happened. Bermuda upset the pre match favourites with a decisive 3-1 victory.
