TT hit Bajans for six in Beach Soccer

Dominic McDougall and Chad Appoo each scored a double with Shallun Bobb and Shane Hospedales grabbing a goal each to give TT their second straight win in the tournament after opening with a 5-2 defeat of Guyana on Friday. TT are currently preparing for the CONCACAF Beach Soccer Championship and World Cup qualifiers in Bahamas later this month.

They kick off against Antigua/Barbuda on February 19 at the Malcolm Beach Soccer Facility.

The TT Beach Soccer team dedicated their win to the late Abiela Adams who was found murdered in Tobago on Saturday morning.

Adams was a national Under-15 women’s team player and had also participated in a national Beach Soccer coaching clinic with members of the TT Beach Soccer team recently.

At Saturday’s game game the squad members wore tapes on their arms with her name written on it.

Coach Benny Astorga indicated in his post-game comments that he was satisfied with the results but wants to see the team off to a better start in the matches and paying more attention to ball possession.

“It’s another win under our belt which is always good for the team morale. As coach, I thought we could have done a lot better, We were off again to another slow start.

‘These are things we have to work on which is why we are see in this camp and competing in this tournament so that we can make sure that we have a seamless game plan and deliver it when it comes to the qualifiers.”
