Gibbons and Cabral clinch title for Bermuda
- Details
Adia Gibbons and Emily Cabral were Bermuda’s dynamic duo as Bermuda clinched the Concacaf Girls’ Under-15 Championship Division Two title with a 2-1 win over Grenada at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, today.
Cabral set up Gibbons’s opener with virtually the last kick of the first half, before Nyah Hood equalised from a Melania Fullerton corner in the 48th minute.
Cabral then finished off a beautiful give-and-go with Gibbons in the 57th minute to give Bermuda the title.
