Under 17s kick off CFU qualifiers in Tobago.
Issued By: Shaun Fuentes,
TTFF Press Officer.
14-Aug-2004 - Naparima College midfielder Javed Mohammed will
captain this country’s National Under 17 team in the
preliminary group stage of the Caribbean Football Union Under
17 World qualifiers at the Dwight Yorke Stadium Bacolet from
next Wednesday.
The team, under coach Nigel Grosvenor, is currently in camp in
Mt Irvine ahead of their opening game against St Lucia from
7pm Wednesday at the Dwight Yorke Stadium. The game will be
the second of a double header with Barbados taking on Bahamas
in the earlier game from 5pm.
Grosvenor, coach of the highly successful St Anthony’s
College has had the team in training for the past six months
and is coming off several live in camps including one at
Forest Reserve, Fyzabad. The team has also played warm match
matches against local opposition, defeating St Benedict’s
College 9-2, losing 2-1 to a South West Drillers outfit. They
then defeated Tobago United’s Pro team 3-0 last Thursday at
Shaw Park. Nyron Orr, Michael Brown and Kyle McIvor were the
scorers in that affair.
Grosvenor says while his team will be cautious of their
Caribbean counterparts, they feel confident that they have
prepared well and will deliver the goods in the tournament.
“We are confident at the moment but it all breaks down to
how the boys react mentally on the days of the games. We have
done well in the training matches but also have been playing
without any pressure and so we are just looking forward to the
big stage because that’s when it really counts,” Grosvenor
told TTFF Media on Saturday.
“We have been playing good football, playing the ball and
deck and building into attack and strong on the defensive side
as well as in the middle. The team is prepared to play total
football. But we are well aware that no team can be taken for
granted,” added Grosvenor.
“We just want the fans in Tobago to come out and support the
team because these are our future senior team players and they
cannot be left out or forgotten at this stage in their
careers.”
The team includes young midfielder Silas Spann, son of former
national player Leroy Spann and brother of current senior team
midfielder Silvio Spann. Some notable names include Fatima
College defender Marvin James who was on the last national
under 17 team, Queen’s Royal College forward Kyle McIvor and
the Tobago boys like Scarborough Secondary defender Jeromy
Williams, Kerlon Fergusson of Mason Hall Government, defender
Jevon Morton of Signal Hill Senior Comprehensive and Nyron Orr
of Roxborough Composite.
Along with T&T’s group, three other Groups will be
contested with the four winners advancing to a two-game Second
Round Series (home-and-away) in September. The two winners
there will then move on to the CONCACAF finals in April and
May 2005 from which the top two teams advances to the 2005
World Under 17 Championship in Peru.
Once T&T advances from this first group, they will go into
a home and away knockout tie against the winners of the Group
which comprises Cuba, Bermuda, Guyana and St Vincent.

seen so far, there was obvious talent to be developed.
"The screening went well and we still have to go Tobago
because we need to get everyone involved. We have seen some
good talent but we are sort of weak on defenders because
everyone wants to play midfield and forward. But other than
that we have seen some talented players and now just actually

Under
17 ’keeper holds his own at Chelsea.
By: Shaun Fuentes.
7-May-2003 - English-based National Under-17 goalkeeper Andre
Charles continues to impress during his training stint with
Premiership club Chelsea and is confident that he will land a
deal with the club’s Under-19 team.
Charles, born in Pt Fortin, has lived in England for the past
ten years and made his debut for the T&T Under-17 team
during last year’s Under-17 World qualifying matches in
Bermuda.
He recovered from a broken leg earlier this year and recently
kept clean sheets in 7-0 and 2-0 victories over Reading and
Fulham respectively.
“I am quietly confident of receiving an offer from Chelsea
even though they just signed an Under-17 ’keeper from
Belgium. I have been playing in the matches and things are
looking good at the moment,” said Charles.
He was in training with the team for a tournament in Italy
last month from which Chelsea was forced to withdraw because
of an air traffic control strike in Italy the week of the
tournament. Teams such as AC Milan and Independiente from
Argentina took part in the tournament.

By: Shaun Fuentes.
13-Feb-2003 - National Under 17 goalkeeper Andre Charles has
been on a second trial with Chelsea's youth team over the past
few months but suffered a setback two weeks ago. Charles, a
Trinidad-born who has lived in the England since the age of
six, suffered a broken leg while playing for his semi-pro club
Burnham Ramblers last month and is sidelined for another six
weeks.
He recently played for Chelsea' Under 17s and kept a clean
sheet in a 1-0 win over Fulham.
"Things have gone fine at Chelsea but I'm just waiting to
get over this injury and back in the goal again," said
Charles. "The coaches at the club said they just have to
assess me over a few more games then they will what happens
from there," he added.
Charles lined up for T&T's Under 17 team during the
Caribbean Football Union Under 17 World qualifying series last
October, playing three games against Guyana, Bermuda and St
Lucia.

English-based goalie
joins La Forest's U-17s for Barbados friendly.
By: Shaun Fuentes.
28-Sept-2002 - Trinidad and Tobago’s Under 17 footballers
welcomed English-based goalkeeper Andre Charles on Friday
ahead of Saturday’s warm-up international against Barbados
at the Larry Gomes Stadium from 3pm.
A second warm-up will be played between T&T and Barbados
will be played at the Ato Boldon Stadium on Sunday from 3pm.
This is in preparations for next month's CFU World Under 17
qualifiers to be played in Bermuda.
The 16-year-old Charles touched down at the Piarco
International Airport in the evening moments after newly
appointed coach Ron La Forest conducted his first session with
the squad at the Dr Joao Havelange Centre of Excellence,
Macoya. He has played in England fro the past eight years and
was reportedly on trial with Chelsea over the past few
weeks.He will sit out Saturday’s game but will be in the
squad for Sunday’s encounter.
The 47-year-old La Forest took over from Dion La Foucade
following the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation’s
announcements of new appointments a day earlier. Assisting La
Forest is former national player Alvin Thomas and Michael
McComie as goalkeeper coach. Rudy Roberts is serving as team
administrator.
Running against time with back to back friendlies against the
“Bajans” scheduled, La Forest got down to business and
indicated that he was impressed with the capabilities shown by
the youngsters in their first session under him, which
included a training game.
“I am very pleased with the appointment because it’s
something that I’ve always looked forward to. Being a past
national player, I think I have something to give back to the
game locally. It’s a chance for me to share some knowledge
with the younger ones and this is my very first time at the
national level,” said the former CL Financial Jabloteh and
Mucurapo Senior Comprehensive coach.
“The call was not a shocking one for me because I’m into
the business and you expect things like this. It’s like if
you are going to school and expecting exams to come your way,”
added the current St Anthony’s College coach.
“I always like challenges and I’m going into to these two
games with full confidence and I like what I saw in this first
session. Expect some magic from these guys,” he added.
McComie also added “It’s an honour to get the opportunity
to work wit the youth especially as I’m still an active
player. I have an idea as to how the players feel. In my view
is that Ron La Forest along with Bertille St Clair are the two
best coaches in local youth football. It’s good to see that
he (La Forest) has been hired. We have not had the ideal time
frame but I don’t think there’s anything that coach La
Forest cannot do,” said the 30-year-old former national
youth goalie.
T&T starting eleven for Saturday’s game.
Thorne Holder - GK, Matthew Cupid, Shevon Abraham, Machel
James, Kitwana Abosi, Kwesi Thomas, Josimar Belgrave, Jerron
McKnight, Lemuel Lyons, Akil DeFreitas, Gorian Higley.

T&T
Under 17s face Barbados this weekend.
By: Shaun Fuentes.
23rd-Sept-2002 - Trinidad and Tobago’s Under 17 footballers
will face Barbados’s Under 17s in two warm up matches here
this weekend.
Currently preparing for the Caribbean Football Union World
Under 17 qualifiers, the National team, under the coaching of
Dion La Foucade will come up against the “Bajans” on
Saturday from 4pm at the Larry Gomes Stadium at then on Sunday
from 2pm at a venue to be announced.
T&T’s Under 17 will face Maracas St Joseph’s Under 20s
in a friendly on Tuesday at 2:30 pm in St Joseph.
“Taking into the consideration the short time we have had to
get the team together, I think things have been going quite
well. The building process is not the best as we would have
hoped for we won’t be making any excuses and come
competition time we will be putting our best foot forward with
the best possible team,” La Foucade told TTFF Media.
He added that all players on the team, campaigning in the
Secondary Schools League have been asked to refrain from
playing for their schools from this coming weekend. Currently
sessions are being held on Tuesdays and Thursdays and on
weekends. Some of the players in the team out of the SSFL
include Josimar Belgrave (Fatima College), Lynton Pompey
(Vessigny), Ancil Farrier (Naparima College), Simba Aberdeen
(Queen’s Royal College), Thorne Holder (QRC), Shevaughn
Abraham (St Benedict’s College), Machel James (Fatima
College), Matthew Cupid (Morvant/Laventille), Akiel Freitas
(St Anthony’s College), Jerron McKnight (Cowen Hamilton),
Ancil Bobb (St Benedict’s College) and Stephan Granderson
(Malick SC).
La Foucade also mentioned that English-based goalkeeper Andre
Charles, has been successful on a trial with the Chelsea
Football club youth team and should become a member of the
club soon. Charles trained with the T&T team recently and
will be making the trip here later this month to rejoin the
squad for competition.
The 16-year-old campaigned with Burnham Ramblers, a
semi-professional team in South End. He spoke to TTFF Media,
expressing delight with the chance of representing T&T.
“I just happened to be in Trinidad on holidays and I saw the
ad on television and thought well why not go give it a shot.
It’s just really an honour to be able to have the chance to
play for the country after playing all my football in England
so far,” Charles told TTFF Media.
Having moved to England at age 4, he has also been following
the likes of T&T’s English-based professionals. “I’ve
seen Shaka obviously, I’m a big fan of him, and I’ve
followed guys like Dwight, Stern, Rougier and the boys from
Wrexham as well (Carlos Edwards, Hector Sam, Dennis Lawrence).
I’ve seen all the guys from Trinidad playing in England. Now
this makes the chance to play for Trinidad an even more
exciting one for me,” Charles added.
T&T will face off with hosts Bermuda, St Lucia and Grenada
in a round robin group phase from October 30 to November 3.
Four CFU groups will be contested with the top team from each
group moving on to the Caribbean Zone finals. Separate ties on
a home and away basis will be played among the winners of the
four groups to determine the Caribbean Football Union’s two
representatives at the CONCACAF final qualifying round at a
date to be announced. The 2003 FIFA Under 17 Championship will
be held in Finland in August.
Thirty-six
member squad now in training for U-17 qualifiers.
By: Shaun Fuentes.
5-Sept-2002 - A thirty-six member squad is now in training to
represent this country at the Caribbean Football Union World
Under 17 qualifying series next month in Suriname.
Under coach Dion La Foucade, several prominent players have
come through the screening sessions which took place over the
past few weeks. In the squad of thirty six, twelve players
selected by former technical director Rene Simoes have been
included and will vie for selection on the final 25-man squad
which will be selected later in the month.
They are Thorne Holder, Kerwin Beckles, Matthew Cupid, Machel
James, Josimar Belgraves, Ancil Ferrier, Simba Aberdeen,
Rondell Paul, Devon Drayton, Lemuel Lyons, Kitwana Abosi and
Gorian Highley.
Also among the list is English-based goalkeeper Andre Charles,
who was in Point Fortin on holidays last month before turning
up for trials. The 16-year-old Charles has returned to England
and according to La Foucade, is on trial with Arsenal’s
Under 20 team and arrangements will be made to have him return
here to rejoin the squad. He will carry the list to thirty
seven players.
La Foucade explained to TTFF Media that a recommendation has
been made to the Secondary Schools Football League that these
selected players represent their Schools during the current
season and train on Sundays with the national team on Sundays.
Then from October, they will be asked to train and play solely
with the National team. The next session is at the Larry Gomes
Stadium this Sunday.
“There isn’t much time before the competition starts so we
have to try and get in as much sessions and get the guys
together to get that understanding and cohesion going,” La
Foucade stated. “This bunch has some very talented players
which were selected out of the screening sessions and we will
be seeking to get the best possible squad together along with
those who we kept back from what Professor Simoes had earlier
selected,” added La Foucade.
Arrangements are being made to have the team travel to
Barbados in October to play two warm-up internationals on
October 11 and 13 as well as two games against Jamaica’s
Under 17 team here prior to the competition kick off.
T&T will face off with hosts Bermuda, St Lucia and Grenada
in a round robin group phase from October 30 to November 3.
Four CFU groups will be contested with the top team from each

Under
17 players selected for final sessions.
By: Shaun Fuentes.
20-Aug-2002 - Some of the more talented Under 17 footballers
from throughout the twin island Republic have been summoned
for two final training sessions as the final day of selection
of a National Under 17 team approaches.
Over the past two weeks, coach Dion La Foucade with assistance
from Rudy Roberts, Michael McComie and Hayden Martin has been
to several areas in T&T, holding 18 screening sessions in
which some 470 youngsters born on or after January 1, 1986
have been looked at.
This Thursday and Friday from 9am at the Larry Gomes Stadium
and Skinner Park San Fernando respectively, two final sessions
comprising of selected players will take place from which 30
players will be short-listed to join the current Under 17
team.
A match will be arranged for a date to be determined where the
players selected from the scouting sessions will face the
current Under 17 team following which a squad of 30 players
will be named to begin training for the Caribbean Football
Union World Under 17 qualifying matches in October.
“We have basically seen 99 percent of all players in this
age group from throughout the country,” said La Foucade. “This
will no doubt give us a better chance of forming the best
possible team to represent the country”.
Among the players discovered is 16-year-old goalkeeper Andre
Charles who has lived in England for approximately ten years
and was in Point Fortin on holidays recently. Charles, who is
attached to a semi-professional club in England, has been
highly spoken of by La Foucade and will be one of the players
at the training session at Skinner Park on Friday. Doujuan
Clarke, an English-born forward was also spotted in Tobago and
is among the players selected.

Rene
Simoes calls up Under 16 players for training.
News Written By: Shaun
Fuentes.
4-Apr-2002 - Technical Director Rene Simoes has called thirty
three Under 16 players for training at the Hasely Crawford
Stadium from 8:30am on Saturday.
This first session is part of trials the Brazilian-born coach
is holding for selection on the National Under 17 team which
will have to go into World Qualifying matches ahead of the
2003 Under 17 Championship which takes place in Finland. The
qualifiers are expected to begin early next year.
The list of players selected following the recent T&T
International Under 16 Cup includes:
Kerwin Beckles, Jerron Johnson, Devon Drayton, Oliver Santos
(W Connection).
Thorne Holde, Machel James, Corneal Thomas, Marvin James, Sean
Bateau, Keston Jones, Josimar Belgraves, Keron Grimes, Simba
Aberdeen, (Rangers).
Rondell Paul, Stephan Granderson, (San Juan Jabloteh).
Jevais Cumberbatch (Sackie's).
Sherran Caruth, Kwesi Thomas, Chad Dharamath, Dion Peters,
Frankie Castillo (Joe Public).
Gorian Highley, Dorian Daniel, Kitwana Abosi (Memphis).
Matthew Cupid, Assil Guerra, David Nicholas, Shelae Spencer
(Trendsetters).
Leon Mitchell, Ancil Farrier (Palo Seco).
Adisa Alexander (Petrotrin).
Keon Daniel (St Clair Coaching School).
Kerron Forster (Blackbox).
Simoes spoke highly of the talent on display at the T&T
Under 16 International Cup tournament and Milo 14 tournament.
"These tournaments have been excellent. I want to
congratulate Alvin Corneal and the sponsors because this
tournament is exactly what we need. I also want to
congratulate Anthony Harford and his team for the Under 14
competition. We have seen some excellent young players with
very good qualities.
"I have this experience along with coach Julio Leal
having worked with players of these age groups at the national
level in Brazil. Julio had the same opinion as I did in that
the quality we have seen here is exactly the same with what we
have seen in Brazil. The difference is that the project Brazil
has and the way in which the clubs there work with the players
from as young as 12 year-olds. But the natural ability between
the players of the two countries is the same," said
Simoes.
Simoes added that he will also call a list of Under 14 players
for training in the near future.

teams in TT Cup International.
T&T Guardian Reporting.
12-Mar-2002 - Due to the overwhelming demand for local teams,
organisers of the Trinidad and Tobago Cup International
Under-16 Soccer Club Championships have now included a Tobago
leg of the competition.
The Dwight Yorke Stadium has been allocated to host the Tobago
leg which includes powerhouses St Clair Coaching School,
Signal Hill and Scarborough Secondary, the Tobago Zone winners
and Big Four champions of the Secondary Schools Football
League.
There will be still eight groups but the number of teams has
increased to six said Alvin Corneal, one of the members of the
Organising Committee.
There are five foreign teams that have confirmed their
participation in the tournament, which runs from March 23 to
30. Three of these teams are from the United States and one
from Barbados and Grenada.
Under
17 duo see other bright spots in Tobago.
By: Shaun Fuentes.
12-Mar-2002 - Two members of this country's National Under 17
team during the period of the FIFA Under 17 World Championship
last year believe that football in Tobago has ingredients for
growth and success.
Last Thursday, defender Kerron Phillips and Kenyon Manswell,
who both earned calls to the current Under 20 team in training
along with the likes of Devon Leacock and Roderick Anthony,
echoed similar sentiments about the possibilities for the game
in the sister isle.
Speaking about his experiences since the World tournament,
Phillips said "Things have gone okay since the
tournament. I am now looking forward to the tournament in
Venezuela with the Under 20s.
"Right now I think the only thing we are missing is more
competitions here in Tobago. We will like to have more
competitions right now for us because we are eager to play.
But they will come sooner or later especially now as there is
the Stadium which has been great to play on" said
Phillip.
Both he and Manswell touched on the point that Tobago now has
opportunities in football outside of the St Clair Coaching
School, which for many years has been the dominant force in
the sister isle. But according to the duo, it's not like that
anymore.
"I never went to Coaching school. I just trained with my
school and by myself. Mr Ronald Duke was always behind me as
well as my brother Warren Phillips. So that shows that you
don't only have to be at the St Clair Coaching School to make
it. I have also heard people say that words are spread about
footballers must come to his school but now I think there are
other opportunities if you want to make it. Signal Hill always
used to win it but this year we went out there and showed that
we can do it too and football here is not only about St Clair
and his teams, it improving all over the island," added
Phillips.
Since his exploits at the Championship last year, Phillips
said he's " gained a lot of respect and also learnt a lot
and it helped me more as a person too. I think I'm a bit more
mature now."
As for Manswell, he's been practicing and playing with the
Tobago Hilton team now playing in the Cannan minor league.
"Never went to St Clair school. I've heard that but it's
not really true because once a player gets the right push and
person to show him the way, then he can reach somewhere as was
the case with me and Kerron and some of the other players who
played for the national team. Rolston James, Coulson Dick and
Handell Manswell have been some of the guys who have helped
me, as well as Carl Williams from Stokelyvale," he said.
He also touched on his experience with Technical Director Rene
Simoes. "My aim is to try and make it as far as possible
and the Professor has helped me in a way that I know how to
position myself better on the field."
National
Youth League - Juniors battle for a 'Soca Warrior' pick.
12-Mar-2002 - Several young
aspiring footballers in TnT continue to vie for a chance to
represent this country in a World Cup when they take to the
fields for the closing stages of the Simpaul's National U-17
Championship starting on Sunday July 1, 2001.
Since May of this year, youngsters from throughout the twin
island have been representing their respective local youth
teams in a tournament which was organised by the Trinidad and
Tobago Football Federation to allow members of the national
team technical staff the opportunity to scout for talent which
was not discovered previously.
Already TTFF Technical Director and U-17 Team Coach Professor
Rene Simoes and his assistants found a talented forward from
Tobago, Kevin Cooks, who has been outstanding in the local
tournament.
Professor Simoes urged players to continue doing their best on
the field, maintaining strong discipline at the same time as
the door remains open to youngsters hoping to wear the
national jersey at the World Youth Tournament.
"Over the past few weeks we have already found a player,
Kevin Cooks from Tobago and the door remains open for other
players to come into the team. There is no doubt that there is
a lot of talent out there which has not been discovered as
yet. We always want to have the best players possible and I am
sure there are many players who want to play for their
country," have been the words of an open eye Simoes.
These youngsters are our future "Soca Warriors".
Show your support so they can show you what they've got.

T&T
brace for international Under-16 football tourney.
By LASANA LIBURD.
01-Mar-2002 - International youth football will return to
local shores from March 24-28 in the form of the Trinidad and
Tobago Cup World Under-16 Club Championships.
FIFA instructor Alvin Corneal yesterday launched the
tournament in a news conference at Crowne Plaza, Port of
Spain, which will also serve as the official hotel for the
Cup. It is the first international competition to be staged by
Trinidad and Tobago since the September 2001 FIFA Under-17
World Championship.
The tournament’s chief sponsors, represented by Colin Murray
(Carib Brewery), Chandradath Singh (Squadra) and Annaline Bobb
(American Airlines), were present at yesterday’s launch.
Neville Chance was also at the Crowne Plaza on behalf of the
Ministry of Sport, while Oliver Camps was there in his
official capacity as Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation
(T&TFF) president. Mary Siu Butt addressed the media, as
well as being the local representative for England-based
striker Stern John.
John, who campaigns for English First Division team
Birmingham, will sponsor a trophy for the competition’s
leading goal scorer.
The T&T Cup, according to Corneal, will follow the model
of the United States Dallas Cup competition, which runs at the
same time and fields 864 clubs.
Corneal explained that the T&T Cup will try to entice the
many clubs who are rejected by the Dallas Cup officials, while
also offering an alternative to the teams who regularly attend
the US-based competition but are eager for a change.
The former national star player and coach expressed hope that
his brainchild will one day feature as many as 120 teams,
although they should start with 32 clubs this month.
At present, though, only ten foreign clubs—all from the US—have
confirmed their availability for the competition, while 12
local teams have also asked to be included.
Corneal claimed that several teams from Asia and Europe,
including Italian outfit Fiorentina, had shown interest in the
competition but opted out due to concerns about flying so
close to the Americas.
Joe Public, Defence Force Youths, CL Financial San Juan
Jabloteh, Bertille St Clair Coaching Clinic, Superstar
Rangers, Scarborough Secondary and St Mary’s College are
among the interested local clubs. The home teams are asked to
pay $30 to register each player, while the actual games will
allow four substitutions plus a goalie.
Games will be played at the Hasely Crawford, Larry Gomes,
Manny Ramjohn and Ato Boldon stadiums, although Corneal
explained that Tobago would have to wait until next year
before they can also act as hosts at the Dwight Yorke Stadium
at Bacolet.
There should also be a girls’ competition in the 2003
edition of the T&T Cup. Corneal insisted that the
tournament will become a fixture in local football.

Technical Director, Professor Rene Simoes, is now a happier
man.The Brazilian has been pleased by the form shown by his
three latest recruits, Venosh Maraj, Raphael Jones and Kerwyn
Belgrave.
The trio was drafted into
the side earlier this week after impressing Simoes while
playing for a Simpaul's Travel Service All Star team against
Team 2001 last weekend.
Maraj is a skillful
midfielder, Jones a defender standing at 6 foot seven inches
and Belgrave is a goalkeeper.
In fact, Simoes is
optimistic the new boys will be able to maker the final cut
and eventually represent their country in next month's FIFA
Under 17 World Championships.
"The three players who
have come in are very talented," Simoes said yesterday.
"Let's see how their
fitness is now. They are working with the other players
because, obviously, their level of fitness will not be as good
as the players on the national team. But definitely they are
very good additions to the squad and have been a boost to the
squad with their height, size and skill."
Team 2001 will be under the
spotlight today when the Football Federation stages a
motorcade through the streets of Port-of-Spain.
Two music trucks and a
steelband will be part of the journey, which starts at the
TTFF Head Office on Dundonald Street, Port-of-Spain and
proceeds along Richmond Street, Park Street, Frederick Street,
Independence Square, Wrightson Road, Colville Street,
Tragarete Road and ending at the King George V Park. Fans are
asked to join in on the action in support of the team.

Prescod and Delano Davis will be hoping to force themselves
back into the squad from injuries as the countdown continues
towards the FIFA Under 17 World Championship in this country
from September 13.
Goalkeeper Prescod has had
to look on from the sidelines dating back to the team's last
visit to Brazil, suffering from a bursitis in the right leg.
But according to Team Doctor Anil Gopeesingh, the Naparima
College custodian should resume training within the next two
weeks. The 16-year-old player missed the recent tours to
Germany and France but has seen sufficient improvement in the
team to feel assured that TnT will give a decent showing
during the Championship.
"There has been a lot
of improvement in the team especially because of the new
coaches and their tactical abilities. They have been doing a
lot more tactical work now and concentrating more on physical
stuff. They treat us like professionals. It will take us a
little time again but having seen the progress we have made in
the short time so far, I think we will be ready by the time
the tournament comes around," Prescod said on Sunday
while looking at his teammates complete a 2-0 victory over a
Simpaul s Travel Service All Star team at the Larry Gomes
Stadium. Prescod is one of three keepers on the team alongside
starter Marvin Phillip and Jan Michael Williams.
Davis meanwhile, a
Tobago-born midfielder has a neurological abnormality and will
undergo further treatment this month before knowing his fate.
The former
Signal Hill SC player is
prepared to fight his way back into Rene Simoes' squad
however, "I will do my best to make it back into this
team," mentioned Davis, who broke down prior to the
recent trip to Europe.
