Shantel Bailey scored a brilliant hat-trick to lead Jamaica's young Reggae Girlz to an impressive 5-0 win over Guyana in their Under-17 women's Caribbean Football Union (CFU) World Cup final-round encounter yesterday and into the final stage of qualifiers for next year's World Cup at the Anthony Spaulding Sports Complex.

Bailey's goals came in the 35th, 81st and 85th minutes. The other goals came by way of Tiffany Robinson (43rd) and Nichole Broderick (73rd).

Trinidad and Tobago also booked their place in the CONCACAF final round of qualifiers after defeating The Bahamas 3-0. Jonelle Warrick (fourth and 90+2) scored twice for the twin-island republic, with Khadidra Debesette (13th) netting the third.

The Bahamas and Guyana, both without a point and yet to score a goal, will do battle in the final round of games on Saturday, at the same venue, for the right to complete the Caribbean trio that will progress.

Trinidad and Tobago, who had on Tuesday defeated Guyana 8-0, lead the group by virtue of goal difference, as they have a perfect six points, the same as Jamaica, who had on Tuesday triumphed over The Bahamas 2-0. The two rivals will jostle for group honours when they meet at the same venue on Saturday.

Jamaica could have improved their goal difference, but their captain and goalkeeper Chris-Ann Chambers saw her 90th-minute penalty kick rebound off the right upright. The penalty was awarded after Guyana's vice-captain Sara Vaughan upended Bailey in the area. Vaughan was red carded for the infringement.

All three of Bailey's goals are contenders for goal of the tournament, but her opening strike is worthy of special mention. She went on a sublime solo run, getting by four Guyanese players, before letting fly from 25 yards.

Despite the flattering scoreline, Jamaica's coach Vin Blaine was not satisfied with the team's overall showing.

"I am glad for the win, but I think we still have some work to do ... we have to start playing more like a team, a lot of individual play has taken over and we have to correct that very quickly," Blaine said.

"I don't think we executed too well, five goals in a game is always a good amount of goals, but hopefully we can come out with a little more discipline against Trinidad, because we definitely will need that," he added.

Guyana's coach, Lydon France, was pleased with his team's performance despite the hefty defeat.

"It seemed a different team from the first game, so it means the girls, on their first trip abroad and first time playing in a tournament like this, have overcome the nerves and have been able to play much better," France said. "And I can tell you they still have more in them to give," he added.

The Caribbean representatives will be joined by Canada, the United States of America, Mexico, Panama or Costa Rica and hosts Guatemala in the final round, which will see three teams advancing to next year's FIFA Women's Under-17 World Cup Finals to be staged in Azerbaijan in November.
