The young Tridents were defeated 4-3 on penalties by Suriname in their Division 2 final of the CONCACAF Under-15 Championships in Florida yesterday.
It was an even affair with the score locked 1-1 after full and extra time at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, with Andre Applewhaite scoring in the first half for Barbados.
