In sports, Dominica’s senior women’s football team suffered a heavy 5–0 defeat to St. Lucia in the WIFA Women’s Championship on Tuesday. St. Lucia struck twice in the 20th and 21st minutes, unsettling Dominica early before adding three more goals in the second half. Coach Ronnie Gustav acknowledged the gulf in quality, noting St. Lucia’s superior organization, technical ability, and the inclusion of foreign-based players. He stressed that Dominica is still in a rebuilding phase and that building a competitive team takes time. Despite the loss, Gustav praised standout performances, particularly from Dymond, who has shown significant progress since debuting two years ago, and newcomer Anessa Laurent, who impressed on her first outing.
