Shakira Collymore, Head Coach of Grenada although disappointed with the loss, thought her players were up against it as their opportunities were charged up by the home support. We started off well, but we had a lot of errors, including our passing and Dominica capitalized on it…They basically blocked everything and when we overpassed, they penalized us… Also, when we defended, Dominica was hustling us”, Collymore recounted. Match nine is next, between Saba and St Vincent and the Grenadines. |
