With the top two play­ers ad­vanc­ing from the group, she will need to win again Sun­day when she goes up against Sofia Acu­ra. The main draw is set to be­gin on Mon­day

In fact, the mul­ti-tal­ent­ed Camp­bell-Smith who on­ly re­cent­ly helped her school St Joseph’s Con­vent to the Sec­ondary Schools Foot­ball League (SS­FL) Un­der-15 ti­tle, is ex­pect­ed to ad­vance as one of two play­ers from the group, if Acu­ra pre­vails over Bolanos

Camp­bell-Smith is the lone T&T play­er in the tour­na­ment and hav­ing worked her way up to the sec­ond po­si­tion, she is ex­pect­ed to at least make it to the quar­ter­fi­nal round of the tour­na­ment
