ARIMA, Trinidad (June 27, 2025)—Dublanc FC of Dominica ended their 2025 CFU Club Shield campaign on a positive note, securing their first win against Docs United, 2-1, in Group D at Larry Gomes Stadium on Tuesday.

The match was the last for both teams. The Dominicans finished fourth in the point standings, while Docs United came in last. Martinique’s Club Franciscain topped the group and will advance to Friday’s semifinal, where they will face Weymouth Wales FC of Barbados.

A powerful strike from midfielder McCorney Royer in the 73rd minute of play secured the second goal for Dublanc.

Super sub Jermaine Ricketts of Docs United reduced the score line margin when he scored the lone goal in the 79th minute.

Both teams will leave the competition having not advanced to the semifinals. Group winner Club Franciscain will advance to the semifinals.
