Williams Hat Trick Sinks Grenada, SKN Go Top
Tiquanny Williams scored a hat trick as the Sugar Boyz defeated Grenada 3-0 on Monday at the SKNFA Technical Center, moving the hosts to six points from two matches in League B, Group C of the 2026/27 CONCACAF Nations League.
Williams opened the scoring in the 11th minute and doubled the lead six minutes later, in the 17th. He completed his hat trick from the penalty spot in the 78th minute to put the result beyond doubt. Goalkeeper Julian Archibald was called into action repeatedly at the other end, making saves in the 35th, 39th, 61st, 66th and 94th minutes to preserve the clean sheet.
St. Kitts and Nevis controlled the match, holding 56% of possession to Grenada’s 44% and outshooting the visitors on goal attempts, seven to four. The hosts committed 13 fouls to Grenada’s 11, and both sides were shown two yellow cards apiece. No red cards were issued.
The win follows a 2-1 victory over Bonaire in the group opener on Friday, in which Williams also scored twice. He now has five goals through two matches in the competition.
Williams is on fire having scored six goals in his last match for Old Road in the Premier League. Williams enters the window as the reigning Premier League golden boot winner.
St. Kitts-Nevis and Cuba both sit atop Group C with six points after two matches apiece.
Cuba defeated Bonaire 2-0 on Monday, adding to its 3-0 win over Grenada on Friday. Grenada and Bonaire remain winless through two matches.
The group now shifts venues for its next round of fixtures, both at Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, where St. Kitts and Nevis faces Cuba on Friday, October 2, and again on Monday, October 5.
The CONCACAF Nations League is an international men’s association football tournament for the 41 member national teams of Concacaf (representing North America, Central America, and the Caribbean).
The Nations League draw, held Thursday, July 23, in Miami, placed St. Kitts and Nevis in League B, Group C alongside Cuba, Grenada and Bonaire. The four-team group is part of a 16-nation League B field split into four groups, with every team playing home-and-away matches against each group opponent across the September-October and November FIFA match windows — six matches per team in total before the four group winners advance to a centralized League B Championship.
The September-October window is the first of three that will decide the 2026/27 CONCACAF Nations League, continuing in November 2026 before culminating in March 2027. For League B specifically, the four group winners advance to a centralized League B Championship to determine the league’s champion — a new format for this edition. The overall competition also doubles as a qualifying pathway toward the 2027 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
