Jamaica defeat Cayman Islands in Rugby

Jamaica improved to 1-1 in the North America Caribbean Rugby Under-19 Cup Competition with a 24-18 win over the Cayman Islands on Thursday.

The Jamaicans used their pace to good effect, and scored two opportunistic tries in the first half. But the outgoing five-time champions would not go down without a fight, scoring a late try to inch within a conversion of surpassing Jamaica.

They were within 20-metres of scoring, but the Jamaicans forced a turnover and came away with the victory. Jamaica’s coach Sheldon Jackson said his team played to plan.

“We put in a lot of work after losing that game against Barbados,” Jackson reflected. “So we came up with a game plan, they stuck to it, and we came out with the victory,” Jackson said.

“It was not pretty, but the last time we played them, the beat us by a big score and we know they like to drive so all of our preparation was about stopping the tries,” Jackson continued.

Jamaica will now play the USA South in Saturday’s play-off for third place.
