Head Coach Albert Titre, in an interview after the match, said there are lots of positives that can be taken from the game.
“We all know that we are playing a 3 o’clock game at the stadium so we just use that opportunity this morning because we might meet that same weather. There were lots of positive, the ladies maintained their stamina in the sun and we saw them controlling and keeping possession which is one of the key things that we want against Turks,” he stated.
Titre said the women were also positive in their communications with each other through open play but admitted that there’s still more work to be done.
“There’s a lot more to be done but as of now, we are seeing them putting in the efforts and showing a lot of interest into the game,” he added.
The Head Coach also expressed confidence in the team’s ability to take all three points in the match against Turks & Caicos in Dominica.
“As previously stated, I always have confidence in the team. We saw what they did even against Trinidad. But going into the [Turks and Caicos] game, we know we must have a lot of patience and possession and that’s what we have been working on for the past time.”
Dominica is currently in fourth place in group F with Turks and Caicos at the bottom. Both teams are yet to register a single point in the group stage.

Can some body tell me what’s the name of that forest the lady’s playing that football game? You have a national team playing in that condition what a shame. Don’t there a national stadium for national players to play in or it’s for one set of people i cannot believe that, that’s the reason when the national teams travel to the other country when they see the playing condition they get dotish and end up getting beaten all the time. What a shame. A few years ago i saw the men’s team play in Canada when they saw the field the light’s in the stadium they forget what end they were picking too this guy’s look foolish.
