Coach of Jamaica's Under-15 Girls team Xavier Gilbert.

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands (CMC):

Jamaica predictably booked their spot in the quarter-finals or the CONCACAF Girls Under-15 Championship when they played to a 0-0 stalemate with Costa Rica here Monday.

Playing in their final preliminary round contest, Jamaica failed to find the scoresheet against fellow Group C heavyweights, who entered the contest also unbeaten.

first game

The result was surprising as both teams had scored heavily in their previous games, with Jamaica amassing 14 goals and Costa Rica 12.

Jamaica will now take on Haiti at the TE McField Sports Centre this evening while Costa Rica will do battle with Canada in the first game at the same venue.

Haiti finished second in Group D after drawing 1-1 with Canada on Monday after both teams entered their final preliminary game with two wins each.

Both Haiti and Canada finished level on seven points, with the North Americans adjudged group winners on virtue of goal difference.

In the other Group C preliminary game on Monday, Anguilla and Belize drew 1-1 to pick up their first points of the competition. Both teams suffered heavy defeats to Jamaica and Costa Rica in their earlier games.

Trinidad and Tobago also qualified for the next round following their 2-0 victory over Honduras on Sunday, which left them top of Group B on seven points.

They will now come up against The Bahamas at the Truman Bodden Complex after the Bahamians drew 0-0 with The British Virgin Islands in their final Group A game on Sunday to finish second to hosts Cayman Islands.

In the other quarter-final, Cayman Islands face Honduras.
