Jamaica's Reggae Boyz rule the Caribbean

Luton Shelton fired in two penalties in both halves to repay the industry of Eric Vernan who was cut down on both occasions in the box, as Jamaica topped the Digicel Caribbean Championship with a 2-0 victory over Grenada in the final at the National Stadium last night.

"I'm delighted. I've to give full credit to the players because all I could do is give instructions and we tried to carry out the instructions to the best of our ability," said Jamaica's head coach John Barnes, rubbing shoulders right at the end of the game with his assistant, Theodore 'Tappa' Whitmore.

Shelton's penalties were scored in the 16th and 69th minutes and handed Jamaica their fourth lien on the regional title, following previous successes in 1991, 1998 and 2005. Jamaica also played in the 1993 finals at the National Stadium, but lost out to Martinique on penalties.
