Antigua and Barbuda secured their first victory in League B, Group E of the ongoing 2025 Concacaf Boys Under-15 Championship in Aruba, triumphing over Barbados with a commanding 3-0 scoreline at the Stadion Centro Deportivo José Wever in Savaneta on Wednesday.
Jamil Thomas put Antigua and Barbuda on the scoreboard first, followed by Robert Jeffrey, who doubled the lead.
Kharique Joseph capped off the scoring by converting a penalty, propelling the young Benna Boys to four points from three matches in the tournament.
Just a day before, Antigua and Barbuda suffered a 2-0 defeat to Trinidad and Tobago and played to a goalless draw against Bermuda in their first match.
Well done, young Benna Boys! A solid 3-0 win shows the talent and potential we’ve got. Keep fighting—this is just the beginning!
This proves we have the skill. Now it’s about mental toughness and preparation. Our youth teams need more exposure to high-level competition regularly.
Congratulations young men. We are indeed proud of your accomplishments. When you do good we should applaud you
After a tough start to the tournament, this 3-0 win shows the resilience and fighting spirit of our young cricketers. They didn’t give up and fought hard for this result. This is a great lesson in sportsmanship and perseverance. Well done to the entire squad!
