Gillingham youth player Rimmel Daniel struck eight goals for Grenada in their 17-0 drubbing of the British Virgin Islands.
The 17-year-old featured in all three of Grenada’s CONCACAF under-20 championship Caribbean zone qualifiers and finished the tournament as top scorer with nine goals.
Rimmel struck four goals in the final five minutes of the opening group game and was also on target with a late equaliser in the 2-2 draw against Guyana.
Grenada ended their week-long qualifying campaign with a 1-0 defeat to St Vincent & The Grenadines and they must now wait to see if they go through to the second round as one of the four best runners-up.
The second round qualifiers take place in September.
Daniel, who plays for Gillingham’s youth team at left-back, has yet to appear for the first team but regularly trained with the senior side last season.
