Pro­lif­ic scor­er Kha­didra Debe­sette reg­is­tered a sec­ond in­ter­na­tion­al beaver-trick in three match­es and 11th goal of the cam­paign as the So­ca Princess­es slammed St Kitts/Nevis in their penul­ti­mate Caribbean Foot­ball Union Group B qual­i­fi­er at the Warn­er Park Sport­ing Com­plex, Bas­seterre on Sun­day night. Go­ing in­to the clash, the Stephan De Four-coached So­ca Princess­es which was mi­nus cap­tain Anique Walk­er due to sus­pen­sion need­ed on­ly a point to ce­ment top spot in the three-team group and qual­i­fy for the sec­ond round qual­i­fiers. And with­in a minute of the kick-off, strik­er Jonelle Wor­rick, who was draft­ed in­to the squad for Walk­er got the So­ca Princess­es off to the per­fect start by net­ting the open­er. Four min­utes lat­er de­fend­er Marlique As­soon dou­bled the lead to 2-0 while Wor­rick added an­oth­er in the 19th minute. Zoe Swift, the sis­ter of stand-in cap­tain Vic­to­ria Swift got her first in the 23rd minute for a 4-0 cush­ion in­side the first half-an-hour as an em­bar­rass­ing drub­bing loomed for the host coun­try.

The So­ca Princess­es con­tin­ued to dom­i­nate the match but wast­ed a num­ber of chances be­fore the old­er of the Swift sis­ters, Vic­to­ria joined in on the scor­ing in the 42nd minute for a 5-0 lead at the in­ter­val. With­ing four min­utes of the restart Zoe Swift fired in her sec­ond and T&T's sixth item while Debe­sette got her first in the 55th minute to push the tal­ly to 7-0 against the hap­less Kit­tians. Swift then com­plet­ed her hat-trick in the 66th minute be­fore the nip­py Debe­sette, play­ing along­side her twin-sis­ter Khadisha took over the scor­ing in the 73rd fol­lowed by two penal­ties in the 75th and 86th minute to com­plete her team's sec­ond dou­ble-dig­it win in three match­es. The So­ca Princess­es who will host St Kitts/Nevis on to­mor­row at the Ato Boldon Sta­di­um, Cou­va from 6pm al­so slammed Do­mini­ca 13-0 on Sep­tem­ber 14 while they won against the same op­po­nents 5-0 away for max­i­mum nine points from three match­es, three more than the Do­mini­cans who have com­plet­ed group play.

The Do­mini­cans two vic­to­ries came against St Kitts/Nevis 5-0 and 2-0. Speak­ing af­ter the win, De Four said he was sat­is­fied with the ef­fort of his play­ers who ex­e­cut­ed the team plan very well. "We played very well as a team. The score could have been re­al­ly worst if we had put away our chances but I'm hap­py the girls are fir­ing on all cylin­ders. "This is just the first phase and we know we have a long way to go if we are to qual­i­fy for Azer­bai­jan be­cause the next phase of the tour­na­ment with Ja­maica, Ba­hamas and Guyana will no doubt be tougher. With one match left to play to­mor­row, De Four said he will will give some new play­ers a run out but does not see it as low­er­ing the team lev­el as all the girls in the group are very ca­pa­ble. "There will be a cou­ple new starters on Wednes­day (to­mor­row) in ad­di­tion to Walk­er com­ing back in­to the team from sus­pen­sion.

A cer­tain ab­sen­tee for the match will be mid­field­er Naomie Guerre who picked up a knee in­jury on Sun­day.

From the sec­ond round se­ries the top three teams will ad­vance to the Con­ca­caf fi­nals, the fi­nal round of qual­i­fi­ca­tion for next year's FI­FA Un­der-17 Women's World Cup in Azer­bai­jan. T&T is seek­ing to qual­i­fy for its sec­ond straight FI­FA Un­der-17 Women's World Cup hav­ing host­ed the 2010 edi­tion.
