Young Boyz Tops T&T In CONCACAF Under 20's Play Off

Two goals by Joel Grant sent Jamaica to a 2-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) in their first-leg of the CONCACAF Under-20 Final Round play-off at the Harbour View Mini-Stadium yesterday.

Grant, who plays for English Premier League outfit Watford, opened the scoring in the 32nd after collecting a through pass from midfielder Micheal Binns and calmly slotted home around the advancing T&T goalkeeper.
