Dominica suffers 4-0 defeat to Guyana in CONCACAF Women’s Qualifiers

Dominica women’s team after arriving in Guyana

Dominica suffered a 4-nil defeat to Guyana on Wednesday evening in their first match of The Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) Women’s Qualifiers in Guyana.

The Dominica team were on the back foot from the start of the game as the home team came out firing on all cylinders.

By the end of the first half, Dominica had conceded three goals.

However, Dominica had a much better second half despite conceding a fourth goal.

Two young talents, Alianne George and China Tulloch, made their international debuts as members of the Dominica team.

Coach of the Senior Women’s Team, Albert Titre, said despite the loss, there were positives to be taken from the match.

Below is an interview with Coach Titre conducted by media liaison for the women’s team, Alyan Christopher.

    What, despite having more than half of our team comprising foreign hirelings. I suspect they just want to continue milking fifa so they can travel overseas. Man a joke this is. Develop our sports properly ourselves first and don’t embarrass us. Please.

      Foreign players don’t necessarily make the National Football Team better. Football is a team sport. The players have to practise together for a reasonable period of time to ‘gel’ ( co-ordinate well) with each other.

      Also, too many of you have this false notion that foreign is always better than local. Is this the Skerrit Syndrome?

      Better sporting facilities and structure should be put in place. Don’t blame the ladies. Those in authority are to be blame for the poor showing.

    Jamaicans do well in sports. It didn’t happen by chance. Their government has invested heavily in terms of money, programs and time. They have the right framework in place – the training facilities, coaches, many local competitions, etc.

    In Dominica, the opposite prevails. Mr. Skerrit and his cabinet of clowns and buffoons have no interest in the development and wellbeing of native Dominicans. They see Dominicans only as votes around election time.

    Our net ballers and footballers are being embarrassed. Let me hasten to add that this is no fault of their own. The other countries have superior facilities, competitions and resources.

    My conclusion is simply this. Dominica was a sport powerhouse. Roosevelt Skerrit and his diehard enablers have battered, bloodied and maimed Dominica. Dominica is just barely existing.

    Dominicans, the longer Skerrit stays in power, the bleaker and more desolate life will become for the masses. AWAKE Dominicans! STOP sleeping!

      My conclusion is simply this. Dominica was a sport powerhouse. Please explain and back up this statement before you go casting blame. While the government has an integral part to play in the development of sports, the development starts at the school level and then what? The different associations must have structured programs, must propose, develop and implement programs to build upon the skills learned at the sports division level, and invite qualified individuals to coach and prepare the teams for such level of play. You can’t paint a pig sty pretty pink and expect it to stay that way. It won’t because it is a pig sty occupied by pigs. We need to stop talking about government support when we as parents, stakeholders, the public won’t even volunteer our time to help coach our own kids at their academy. Stop the nonsense. Government alone will not and cannot make sports better in Dominica. Not political, just experienced.

        So Righteous, explain then what we have a Mister of sports for? Just come clean and say that public must organise this themselves without the help of government. Maybe we should ask Melissa Skerrit, who seems to have more influence over sport developments than appointed officials.

        Who is responsible to put the requisite physical infrastructure in place? Who can use their influence to get scholarships for these young sportsmen and women in the discipline of their choice?

        Yes, the entire community can and should assist. P

        Those who are paid to manage the affairs of the country should not be exonerated from the colossal mess we have found ourselves in.

        This government is expertly good at stealing elections but grossly inept at anything constructive. This government is not a participatory administration. In fact, it’s a government of exclusion. Do you see any serious consultations taking place when critical and crucial decisions are made?

        Let me disabuse you of this fallacious notion about government not to be blamed in this specific instance. If the footballers were to win all their games and return with the winning trophy, who would be at the ajrport, on the radio and social media hogging the glory? The leaders of this photo-op government.

      Jamaica’s population is almost 42 times that of Dominica (Not counting overseas residents), so all things being equal, you can’t expect the smaller countries to do as well as the much larger countries. That does not mean that the smaller countries will not have a few excellent performers but a full team, with spare – be reasonable.
