There were no short­ages of goals as the T&T Foot­ball As­so­ci­a­tion (TTFA) G-League, the coun­try’s pre­mier de­vel­op­men­tal foot­ball com­pe­ti­tion for girls ages nine to 14, kicked off last week­end with match­es both in the Un­der-12 and U-14 Di­vi­sions.

In the U-14 age group, T-Hawks thrashed Pro Se­ries 10-1 in their North/East Zone match-up at the Uni­ver­si­ty of West In­dies St Au­gus­tine Ground.

Lead­ing the way for T-Hawks was Amaris Collins-Joseph with a beaver-trick in the fifth, eighth, 20th, and 46th min­utes, while Sara Roopc­hand added a hat-trick in the 15th, 25th, and 28th.

The trio of Christi­na Har­ra­gin (3rd), Anya Lon­don (10th), and Akeila Mar­ryshow (60th) al­so net­ted for T-Hawks, while Pro Se­ries got its lone re­ply off the boot of She­ma­iah Tou­s­saint in the 34th.

In the oth­er North/East match played, Le­gion Cadets got hat-tricks from Kyra Yee Loy (10th, 30th, 42nd) and Xaria John (21st, 32nd, 35th) in an 8-0 blowout of Trend­set­ters.

Khy­la De Couteau con­ced­ed an own goal in the 19th, and Sap­phire God­dard al­so found the tar­get for Le­gion Cadets in the lop­sided win in the 40th.

Over in To­ba­go, Jew­els SC, in­spired by a hat-trick from Kay­lah O’Neil (7th, 20th, 58th), blanked Com­bined Ballerz 6-0.

Ker­riscia Hurst added a dou­ble for Jew­els SC in the 34th and 60th min­utes, while Kcey Reid al­so net­ted for the win­ners in the 59th.

And in the oth­er match in To­ba­go, To­ba­go Chi­cas got a lone item from Tyara McKen­na in the 32nd minute to edge past Black Pan­thers 1-0.

In the sev­en-a-side Un­der-12 com­pe­ti­tion, Pro Se­ries stormed to a 6-0 de­feat of Le­gions Scouts in the North/East, with Sophia Orr (2nd, 24th) and Cataina Phillips (5th, 16th) scor­ing two goals each, and Is­la Tom (7th) and Lay­la Teix­eira (8th) scor­ing one each.

Moru­ga PYC got a strike from Meya Mitchell in the 26th minute to eke out a 1-0 win over Gas­par­il­lo Youths in the South-Cen­tral Zone, while in To­ba­go, Jew­els beat Com­bined Ballerz 1-0 be­hind Az­izi Clarke’s 25th-minute strike, and Black Pan­thers scraped past To­ba­go Chi­cas cour­tesy of Kier­ra Mur­ray’s 20th-minute win­ner.

Ac­cord­ing to Jinelle James, Di­rec­tor of Women’s Foot­ball at the TTFA, the G-League con­tin­ues to play a cru­cial role in the T&TFA’s Women’s Foot­ball Strat­e­gy — cre­at­ing ac­cess, eq­ui­ty, and op­por­tu­ni­ty for young fe­male foot­ballers across the coun­try.

James said the two di­vi­sions are de­signed to match the play­ers’ de­vel­op­men­tal needs while prepar­ing them for the com­pet­i­tive stan­dards of re­gion­al and in­ter­na­tion­al youth tour­na­ments.

She added, “The G-League is more than just match­es — it’s a move­ment. It cre­ates a fun, safe, and com­pet­i­tive en­vi­ron­ment that in­spires girls to fall in love with the game while help­ing us iden­ti­fy the next gen­er­a­tion of na­tion­al play­ers.”

The 2025 com­pe­ti­tion has an in­crease in par­tic­i­pa­tion, with teams from across mul­ti­ple zones in T&T. Match­es will be played on week­ends from May to Ju­ly, with an em­pha­sis on de­vel­op­ment, team­work, and con­fi­dence-build­ing both on and off the field.
