SAN CRISTOBAL, Dominican Republic - The Virgin Islands (VI) returned to the field of play on Tuesday, November 9, 2021, in the 2022 Concacaf Men’s Under-20 Championship Qualifying in the Dominican Republic but suffered a 0-4 defeat at the feet of Grenada.

A release from the BVI Football Association today, November 10, 2021, indicated that the 'Spice Boys' found their scoring stride with four different players finding the back of the net in the victory, which lifted them to first place in the group.

Keishon Clarke (27’), Aquil Lawlite (33’), Ogiste Lemoud (45+2’) and Benjamin Ettienne (67’) netted the goals.

Pleasing effort

According to Virgin Islands' coach Clinton Percival aka 'Tinnie', “The boys played well compared to our last game. They worked hard as a unit, but made a few individual errors that cost us the four goals.“

Percival also noted that he had seen a vast improvement in the way the team defended and attacked. “I must say that I am pleased, not with the result, but with the effort and desire that was displayed in the game,” he said.
