So­ca Princess­es cap­tain Anique Walk­er re­turned from her one-match sus­pen­sion with a veg­eance as she net­ted sev­en times in her team's 17-0 maul­ing of St Kitts/Nevis in their fi­nal Caribbean Foot­ball Union Group B qual­i­fi­er at the Ato Boldon Sta­di­um, Cou­va on Wednes­day. It was the sec­ond dou­ble-dig­it vic­to­ry for the So­ca Princess­es over the hap­less Kit­tians in­side four days, af­ter an 11-0 thrash­ing in their first en­counter at the Warn­er Park Sport­ing Com­plex, Bas­seterre on Sun­day night which sealed a spot in the CFU sec­ond round qual­i­fy­ing se­ries with Ja­maica, Ba­hamas and Guyana. De­spite be­ing as­sured of a CFU sec­ond round spot from which three will qual­i­fy for the Con­ca­caf tour­na­ment, Walk­er and her team-mates showed lit­tle pity on the vis­i­tors as the cap­tain hur­ried her team in­to a 4-0 lead in­side the first 15 min­utes with goals as ear­ly as the third, fourth, 12th and 14th min­utes be­fore she added sec­ond-half items in the 51st, 59th and 76th min­utes to take her tal­ly to ten from three match­es.

How­ev­er, she is five goals shy of team-mate and pro­lif­ic strik­er Kha­didra Debe­sette for the cam­paign af­ter she banged in a hat-trick in the 17th, 22nd and 44th to fol­low up on her beaver-trick from Sun­day.

There were al­so braces for Zoe Swift (31st, 85th) and Kha­didra's twin-sis­ter, Khadisha Debe­sette (37th,, 48th) while Rhon­da Guisep­pi (19th) and Zoe's big sis­ter, Vic­to­ria Swift (68th). An own-goal from Kit­t­ian Kate­lyn Forbes, four min­utes in­to the sec­ond half, added to the on­slaught as T&T end­ed with max­i­mum 12 points, and 48 goals scored with none against. The So­ca Princess­es, coached by Stephan De Four, al­so blast­ed Do­mini­ca 13-0 on Sep­tem­ber 14, while they won against the same op­po­nents 5-0 away.

Mean­while, the Do­mini­cans two vic­to­ries came against St Kitts/Nevis 5-0 and 2-0. 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.

Speak­ing af­ter Wednes­day's match, De Four said he was very sat­is­fied with the team's progress.

"At the be­gin­ning of the qual­i­fiers we set our­selves cer­tain goals and so far we have achieved them.

"We now have the sec­ond phase where we have to step up our prepa­ra­tions." With re­gards to prepa­ra­tions for the sec­ond round card­ed for next month at a venue yet to be de­ter­mine, De Four said he will be hop­ing to have all his over­seas play­ers avail­able. "I ex­pect to have last year's FI­FA Un­der-17 World Cup duo Liana Hinds and Di­ar­ra Sim­mons join the team along with new­com­er Donika Ed­wards."

De Four al­so not­ed that when the team re­sumes train­ing in the next few days the fo­cus will be gym work and main­tain­ing fit­ness as ma­jor­i­ty of the play­ers will be miss­ing due to du­ties with oth­er teams.
