Both teams battled fiercely throughout the match, with early chances setting the tone for a competitive contest. Cayman’s Trey Ebanks fired an early warning shot in the 21st minute, but BVI goalkeeper Frankie Beckles made a crucial save to keep the game level.

The British Virgin Islands continued to hold their ground defensively, with Jacobbi Tugman almost finding the back of an open net in the 31st minute. However, Kavon Caesar made a well-timed clearance, preventing the Cayman Islands from taking an early lead.

Beckles remained a key figure in the BVI defence, making another critical save in the 76th minute to deny Alexander Clarke-Ramírez and maintain the scoreline at 0-0.

The deadlock was finally broken in the 84th minute when Elijah Seymour found the back of the net for the Cayman Islands. Seymour’s left-footed strike came after Zachary Scott intercepted a pass and delivered a precise ball into the penalty area, setting up Seymour for the match-winning goal.

The British Virgin Islands pushed forward in the final minutes but were unable to find an equaliser, handing the Cayman Islands a hard-fought victory on home turf.

Established by the Joint Ministerial Council, the dialogue convenes Overseas Territories with key UK Government departments, including HM Treasury, the National Crime Agency, and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. The overarching goal is to address illicit finance and enhance collaboration in combating financial crime.

Minister Smith emphasized the significance of collaboration in combating financial crime, stating, “Financial crime is a scourge across the global financial system… But we also know that the more we work together, the better we are able to defend against these attacks.”

Throughout the past year, areas of focus for the Dialogue included sanctions, law enforcement collaboration, beneficial ownership, and international regulations on illicit finance. Agreement was reached on establishing sanctions units in the Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, and Turks and Caicos, with law enforcement authorities in the Overseas Territories set to receive training on Cryptocurrencies by the UK’s National Crime Agency.

Minister Smith highlighted the active participation of all Overseas Territories in the dialogue and expressed optimism for future engagements between the UK and the Territories.

The dialogue was attended by Government leaders from various Overseas Territories, including Anguilla, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, the Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Montserrat, Turks and Caicos, and St Helena, along with UK Government Overseas Territories Minister, Hon. David Rutley MP, and Baroness Vere of Norbiton, Parliamentary Under-Secretary at HM Treasury.

As the Cayman Islands Government assumes the role of Co-Chair, Minister Smith affirmed the commitment of the Overseas Territories and the UK to combat financial crime and reinforce the robustness of their financial services sectors.

The Government of the Virgin Islands remains steadfast in its dedication to promoting the overall development of the Territory through commitment and sustainable transformation.
