RUSTINESS showed but there were glimmers of positivity when the Trinidad and Tobago women’s football team returned to action after a two-year hiatus and drew goalless against Panama in a welcome international friendly match, at Ato Boldon Stadium, in Couva, on Thursday.
Under cloudy skies and a thick cover of Sahara dust, the Women Warriors braved the elements to churn out a fair result. Panama looked better composed in the opening 45 minutes but the TT team bounced back to deliver a more dominant display in the second period.
After the match, newly appointed women’s interim head coach Kenwyne Jones was pleased with the team’s performance. Although there were a couple of individual and tactical errors during the match, Jones commended his players for showing resilience against a tough Panama unit.
“After not being an active team for two years, I think the team performed really well. Of course, there are instances in the game where Panama caused us a few problems but I thought that the team was very resilient and dealt with it well.
“It’s the first game for such a long time and we have a long way to go. I think from here we can only expect a lot of progression,” said Jones on his national coaching debut.
In the first half, the visitors came close to scoring when striker Marta Cox struck the top left of the crossbar. Luckily, the ball fell within reach of TT custodian Kimika Forbes.
Forwards Kennya ‘Yaya’ Cordner and Raenah Campbell had few attempts in the opening half and midfielder Maylee-Attin Johnson tried valiantly to champion the midfield.
The national team showed some threat at times but ended the first period without a shot on target.
In the second half, TT looked better and were able to string together more passes and generate more chances in front of goal. Defenders Rhea Belgrave and Lauryn Hutchinson had to work overtime as Panama also pressed for the opening goal.
They were almost rewarded twice courtesy of substitute Yamileth Palacio but Forbes came up big on both occasions.
Attin-Johnson, winger Liana Hinds and Cordner linked up on three occasions to produce goal-threatening attempts but neither chance created found a finishing touch to beat Panama goalkeeper Farissa Cordoba.
A defensive error by Victoria Swift in the last 15 minutes saw Panama come close to scoring but again, Forbes was there to clean up.
However, the Women Warriors would survive a late charge for their Panamanian counterparts and now recover and recharge for Monday’s second friendly match against the Central Americans.
Jones commended Forbes and the entire team on an improved performance in the second half.
“She’s (Forbes) has been a really strong presence for the team. When she makes saves as she does and commands the box like she does it gives the team the impetus to keep going. You can see the energy passing on from her to the defenders onto the midfield.
“Today we fought really hard. We dug in. The surface was really heavy. Amidst the situation of players coming in late, travel situations I think we

Soca singer, songwriter and producer, Kerwin Du Bois is excited about the potential of his latest song and video release - an infectious dancehall/soca collaboration with Jamaica sensation Shenseea (Chinsea Lee) titled Can You Feel It.
The song was commissioned and executive-produced by the Carib Brewery as part of its rebranding, international thrust and 70th-anniversary celebrations.
The music video includes a notable intro and outro cameo from American hip-hop DJ and producer, Khaled \"DJ Khaled\" Mohamed Khaled, and was filmed and edited by award-winning, US director Gil Green.
Since its world premiere and release at a watch party held at the Carib Brewery, USA and 311 Lime House in Cape Canaveral on October 15, the video has received thousands of positive comments and feedback online from soca, dancehall, Carib beer and Caribbean fans and diaspora descendants worldwide, said a media release from Overtime Media. Many have even suggested the catchy, upbeat song could be used as a World Cup Football or similar sporting event theme-song or anthem, the release said.
Speaking at the launch of the video, Du Bois (who co-wrote the song with Shenseea and co-produced the music alongside Chris \"Jillionaire\" Leacock of Major Lazer fame) said he was proud and happy to represent such a strong Caribbean brand.
\"I feel proud to be from the Caribbean at a moment like this and I hope that we can all support and stand by Carib - as we all should do with everything Caribbean...,\" he said in the release.
\"Just now when ah see it, tears come to muh eyes because is really a blessing and ah honour to represent a brand such as Carib, but also to represent a brand such as soca, standing alongside dancehall in the form and the name of Shenseea - and hip-hop at the same time with DJ Khaled!
\"So its an honour to be a part of this completely and words cyah express how I feel really at this moment. Ah hope is a good look for de industry, for soca music - to let them know that we are capable and we are good enough to do anything and we have to be able to feel that we have what it takes... We have to believe in ourselves and know that this song and video is not just it - we have to do more!\"
Carib Brewery USA's marketing director, Asa P Sealy explained that the song and video are just part of the company's international marketing thrust, which seeks to invigorate and inspire regional pride.
In an interview with OvertimeTT immediately after the launch, he said: \"We wanted to use this opportunity to inject a measure of national and regional pride throughout the Diaspora and to bring the region together under the common umbrellas of our cultural exports, expertise and excellence. Here at the brewery, we have initiated a measure of innovation, which continues to inform and attract new consumers and interests within the beverage industry.\"
Du Bois expressed contentment with the finished product, which remained a closely-guarded secret even to him until the actual world premiere on Friday night.
