ON THE U-23 FRONT

Both Cuba and Haiti have qualified for the final round of CONCACAF qualifying for the 2008 Olympic Games, each winning their group in the second round of Caribbean Zone qualifying. In Group G, Cuba surprised host Trinidad and Tobago with a 3-0 win in their first match, then beat Grenada, 3-2, to advance.

In Port-au-Prince, Haiti shellacked the Bahamas, 6-0, before sending the stunned Jamaicans home after downing the Reggae Boyz in a 2-1 victory.

The first round of Central American Zone qualifying kicks off next month, with Panama hosting El Salvador and Honduras in one triangular, and Guatemala welcoming Costa Rica and Nicaragua in the other.
