INTERNATIONAL WATCH
Dover’s trio of Ricky Modeste, Anthony Jeffrey and Kadell Daniel all featured as CONCACAF Nations League qualifying reached an end this weekend.
Daniel and Jeffrey both started for Guyana as the Golden Jaguars created history by qualifying for the Gold Cup for a first ever time, beating Belize 2-1 on Saturday evening.
Modeste played 90 minutes for Grenada as the Spice Boys won 2-0 in Puerto Rico, though the win was not enough for his side to participate in this summer’s tournament.
Dover are in National League action this week as they travel to Dagenham & Redbridge on Tuesday 26th March, kick off 7:45pm.
DOVER TRIO AIMING FOR GOLD
Qualification for the Gold Cup is on the agenda this weekend for Athletic’s trio of Kadell Daniel, Anthony Jeffrey and Ricky Modeste as the CONCACAF Nations League qualifiers reach their climax.
Daniel and the uncapped Jeffrey will be aiming to help Guyana qualify for their first-ever Gold Cup when the Golden Jaguars host Belize at 10:30pm GMT on Saturday 23rd March.
Guyana started their Nations League qualifying campaign with a 2-2 draw home draw against Barbados but were later awarded a 3-0 win after FIFA ruled the visitors had fielded two ineligible players.
Daniel, on course to make a fourth international appearance, was on the scoresheet in Guyana’s next match – an 8-0 rout of Turks and Caicos, but was unable to prevent his side going down 2-1 at French Guiana in their following game.
Modeste will also be hoping his side can seal their place in the tournament later this year when Grenada travel to Puerto Rico for an 8 pm GMT kick off on Sunday 24th March.
Grenada lost their first two qualifying matches 10-0 and 2-0 to Curacao and Cuba respectively, however, have given themselves hope of a second Gold Cup appearance with a 5-2 win against Saint Martin.
Dover’s winger has netted twice in three appearances for the Spice Boys.
The international call-ups mean our National League clash at Dagenham & Redbridge, originally scheduled for Saturday 23rd March, has now been rescheduled for Tuesday 26th March, Kick off 7:45 pm.
Good luck Anthony, Kadell and Ricky!
