Sep 20, 2010 Sports

Dear Editor,
On September 26 Guyana National Senior Football team will engage Trinidad & Tobago Soca Warriors at the Providence National Stadium.
The million dollar question being asked is whether Howard Lowe’s men could become the second National Football Team to defeat the Soca warriors? The last time Guyana beat Trinidad and Tobago was September 1977 at the Mackenzie Sports Club Ground, the Earl O’Neal led squad won 2-1 courtesy of a Trinidadian own goal and a Patrick Labba Barton Thunder Bolt Penalty.
Trinidad and Tobago also defeated Guyana July 1984 2 Nil at GCC Bourda, goal scorers were Nevic Denoon and Morris Aliby.

They also won 2-1 at Camp Ayanganna 1987 and 4 Nil at the same venue 1988, 3-1 in Jamaica 1991 and 4 Nil 1997 in Trinidad.
The opening encounter on the Double Header International Card should also be of interest. The last time Guyana defeated the Junior Soca Warriors at the under-20 International Level was August 1984.
The Paul Farrell led squad won 2-1 in the opening round of the CFU Youth Championship in Port of Spain.
