Jamaica opened their defense of the Digicel Cup with an unconvincing 4-0 win over St Lucia at the National Stadium last night.
Comprised mostly of local-based players, The Reggae Boyz got goals from Kevin Lamey, Wilfred Smith and Demar Phillips to take joint leadership of Group B with Haiti on three points.
In a scrappy performance against a very weak St. Lucia team, Jamaica scored all the goals in the first half and looked lost for ideas in the second.
Seba's Wilfred Smith got the Boyz off to a good start in the third minute when he scored from inside the box after goalie Giovanni Veterville failed to hold onto a Fabian Davis left-footer. In the 22nd minute Kevin Lamey got his long awaited international goal when he buried a pass from Waterhouse club mate Demar Phillip. Eight minutes later Phillips got the third when he scored a header from a left-sided corner. Lamey completed his brace by scoring again six minutes later.
In the curtain-raiser, a hot Haitian team crushed St. Vincent and the Grenadines 4-0 with goals from Josue Mayard. Jean Baptiste Fritzson, Jean Jascques and Herold Gracien.
The competition continues tomorrow at the same venue with Haiti vs St Lucia at 5:00 pm and Jamaica vs SVG at 7:00. Read more in the Forum
