Match report

In the curtain raiser, Lenahan crossed twice in a tight first half, Jamaica leading 18-14 at the interval, prop Luke Elliott a stand out for the hosts. Brandon Gordon scored either side of the break to put them in control, speedy centre Tyreke Hutchinson also claiming a double and Oniel Williams finishing with 16 points.

“We are extremely grateful to Canada for coming out so that we could play this historic game,” said Jamaica U19s coach Oshane Edie. “They made a lot of good yards up the middle, but we worked hard on coming off our line and that paid off. Overall, we put in a good showing.”

Canada RL chair, John Cameron, noted: “It was great to have an U19s team on the pitch, a superb first experience for our boys, and a good launch pad for us moving forward. We look forward to hosting the young Warriors in a return game.“
