Jamaica's senior women's football team recovered to beat Florida Kraze Krush 4-2 in a practice match ahead of the CONCACAF Women's Championship to be staged in the US from October 15 to 26.

The senior Reggae Girlz, who are participating in a training camp, stormed back with four second-half goals after Florida led two-nil at the interval on the weekend.

A double from Jodi-Ann McGregor and one goal each from Donna-Kay Henry and Christina Murray helped turn the tide against Florida Kraze Krush, a top ranked team in the US.

Several regular starters including captain and defender Alicia Wilson, strikers Shakira Duncan and Alexa Allen, as well as goalkeeper Nicole McClure, did not play.

Jamaica, drawn in Group B, open their account at the CONCACAF tournament versus Martinique at the Sporting Park in Kansas on October 16, before facing Costa Rica and Mexico.

The top three teams at the Championship will automatically qualify for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada. The fourth-place team will enter a play-off against a South American country.
