TUF Presidential candidate applaud U-17 ‘Lady Jags’

Presidential candidate of The United Force, Valarie Garrido Lowe, has applauded the winning Under-17 Lady Jags, which just won their group of the Caribbean Football Union World Under-17 qualifying competition.
The young Guyanese defeated Anguilla 2-0 and came from behind to draw with Curacao 1-1 to win the group and advance to the second stage. Ms. Lowe, who watched the Guyanese defeat Anguilla, was so impressed with their performance that she treated the team to pizza and ice cream on Sunday night.

I am also proud of the fact that this is truly a national team with the Coaches travelling the length and breadth of Guyana to put together this winning unit of courageous young ladies drawn from the various Regions.”
Ms. Lowe promised the players that they will continue to get her support and that of the TUF as their journey to qualify for the FIFA Under-17 World Cup continues next month.
