TT aim for Youth Cup final spot

The teams will clash at the Larry Gomes Stadium, Malabar from 5 pm.

If Haiti, who are already assured of a place in either the third-place playoff or the final, defeat Trinidad and Tobago, then Barbados can sneak into the last four with a big victory over Suriname.

The Bajans will meet Suriname also at the Arima venue this afternoon from three o’clock.

Haiti were convincing winners over Suriname (7-1) on Monday and Barbados (5-0) in their earlier matches this week and will be no easy pushovers this evening.

In fact, looking at the way Trinidad and Tobago have struggled against Barbados (1-1) and Suriname (4-0), Haiti will be the early favourites to prevail in today’s match.

But Trinidad and Tobago are yet to lose a match during this competition, and the home support can prove crucial if the hosts are to prevail against the French-speaking players.

Jamaica are certain of a place in Sunday’s final round of matches, and will be looking to end their Group “B” campaign with a 100-percent record when they oppose Mexico from 5 pm at the Dwight Yorke Stadium, Bacolet.

Mexico need only a draw to progress but a loss to Jamaica can open the door for Panama to advance. Panama can keep their hopes alive with victory against the dethroned champs Canada at Bacolet from 3 pm.
