Late goal dashes Bodden Town hopes

(CIFA): An improved defensive effort by Bodden Town FC was undermined by a late goal which gave Unite Saint Rosienne a 1-0 victory on match day two of the Caribbean Football Union championship on Sunday. At the Estadio Juan Ramon Louriel, Ronaldo Barbosa scored a late goal (82nd) and lifted Unite Saint Rosienne past the Cayman Islands Champions. Bodden Town Head Coach Elbert Mclean kept a positive outlook despite the 0-2 record. “Our boys have nothing to be ashamed of, we have seen a great improvement,” Mclean told caymanfootball.com.

“They redeemed themselves after the first game (lost 5-0 to Bayamon) and gave a much better performance,” he added.

Mclean was buoyed by his team’s commitment after conceding the late goal. He said, “The way our boys lifted after the goalwas amazing.”

Bodden Town returns to the pitch on Tuesday against Curacao Centro Dominguito. Like Bodden Town Centro Dominguito will be in search of their first victory after holding Bayamon to a goalless draw on Sunday.
