Barbados’ hopes of reaching the Olympic Games are just about over after a 7-0 defeat to Jamaica last night in the CONCACAF Women’s Olympic Caribbean Qualifying Tournament at the National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica.

Cheyna Matthews and Trudi Carter both scored a brace, while Chinyelu Asher and Khadija Shaw added one apiece.

Barbadian defender Tia Brigg-Thompson also conceded an own goal in the sixth minute of play.

Only the winner of the tournament will advance to the final.
