Women Warriors left to rue missed chances
PLAYERS GUTTED
AHKEELA MOLLON was unable to breathe and was rushed away by ambulance, while goalkeeper Kimika Forbes sobbed uncontrollably after conceding the goal which ended Trinidad and Tobago’s dreams of qualifying for the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Reflecting on a courageous campaign
When that seemingly innocuous free kick was redirected into an empty waiting net, I knew at that exact moment that a dream was about to die.

At the final whistle I felt a roller coaster of emotions. Part of me was infuriated at the wasted chances – Ecuador themselves would eagerly admit that they were inferior, however, I also felt deep regret for these girls, I really did.
