Irish Duo Come Out On Top In The Caribbean

Last updated : 07 June 2004 By Brian Cartlidge

A near sell out crowd turned up to see the international comeback of Blackburn striker Dwight Yorke at the stadium which bears his name but Lawrie Sanchez's side spoilt the party with a 3-0 success to remain unbeaten in their three game Caribbean adventure.

Just four minutes had gne when David Helay put the Irish one up then Stuart Elliott made it 2-0, the Preston striker the provider on this occasion.

Just past the hour mark keeper Maik Taylor denied Blues team mate Stern John with a superb save and moments later Ireland sealed victory with a third goal. Healy again on the mark with his second of the game.

With Ireland completely in control Taylor was substituted with nine minutes remaining.
