MIAMI, Florida, (CMC )– Guyana notched their first win and Grenada their second to remain unbeaten, as both teams registered comprehensive victories in the CONCACAF Women’s Gold Cup qualification.

Playing in Group A of League B, Guyana thrashed Dominica 5-0, while in Group C of League C, Grenada smashed The Bahamas 4-1.
In other results on Sunday, Guatemala won 3-2 away to Panama, Antigua and Barbuda suffered a 1-0 defeat to Suriname in Paramaribo, while French Caribbean side Martinique were subjected to a 9-1 annihilation at the hands of El Salvador in Santa Tecla.

At the neutral venue of the Wildey Turf Stadium in Barbados, Jalade Trim netted a first-half double while Otesha Charles scored a goal in either half, as Guyana dominated the Dominicans from start to finish.

Trim opened the scoring for Guyana in the fifth minute before sending her side 3-0 up in the 25th, after Brianne Desa had added a second in the eighth minute.
Charles’s first goal on the half-hour mark gave Guyana 4-0 half-time lead and her second in the 64th capped off a fine performance.

At the Kirani James Stadium in St George’s, meanwhile, Nia Thompson lashed a hat-trick to propel the hosts to a really dominant performance over The Bahamians.
Fresh from a brace in Grenada’s 6-1 thrashing of The Bahamas in the first leg in Nassau last Wednesday, Thompson scored in the 11th, 55th and 72nd minutes, while Melania Fullerton netted in the 47th minute to put the hosts 2-1 up just after the break.

Janeka Edey briefly made the game interesting when she levelled for The Bahamas in the 42nd minute before their challenge fizzled out.
