MEXICO v CAYMAN ISLANDS: NACRA Champ., North

11.04.2015

Venue: Grand Cayman

Referee: Sherry Trumbull (Canada)

Preview
Canadian female referee Sherry Trumbull will take charge of this vital Caribbean Championship North game in Cayman Islands.

For the first time since the tournament was restructured the USA South team will not be in the final. Mexico and Caymans will play this match to determine who the North champion is. The winner will play either Guyana or Trinidad Tobago who also play this weekend.

Cayman’s effort to win in Atlanta must be respected. So must Mexico’s run away win against USA South in Mexico. This could be very close.
