Golden Jaguars begin camp for Jamaica Friendly and Parbo Bier Cup

May 14, 2012 Sports

After enjoying the off-field ambience during the launching ceremony of third round, World Cup Qualifiers at Princess Hotel on Saturday, the Golden Jaguars have now refocused on their on-field tasks, as they prepare for international friendly action against Jamaica as well as the Parbo Bier Cup in Suriname within the next fortnight.
Currently, 21 second tier players, the majority of which were part of recent matches in Martinique and Guadeloupe, began camp on Saturday morning with a two hour training session from 08:00-10:00hrs under the guidance of Assistance Coach Wayne Dover at the Softball Ground, Carifesta Avenue.
Quincy Madramootoo, Clive Andries and Andrew Murray are the players omitted from the previously selected touring squad.
Jamaica’s “Reggae Boyz” recently announced a powerful 22-man squad that includes 14 foreign based players for the fixture against Guyana on May 18 at the Montego Bay, Sports Complex.
Ricardo Fuller of English Premier League side Stoke City, Marlon King of English Championship side Birmingham City, Luton Shelton of Turkish side Karabukspor and Omar “Ratty” Daley of Scottish team Motherwell are some of notable names in the Jamaican contingent.
Guyana’s English & United States based players in the Cort brothers Leon and Carl, Ricky Shakes, the Newton brothers Jake and Howard, Chris Bourne, Captain Chris Nurse, John Paul “JP” Rodrigues and Gregory Richardson are unavailable due to club commitments and other reasons.
However the Trinidad based players, Walter ‘Boyd’ Moore, Charles ‘Lily’ Pollard, Vurlon Mills, Kayode McKinnon, Ronson Williams, Colin Nelson, Trayon Bobb and Sheldon Holder, are expected to make up the final squad that goes to Jamaica.
Following the Jamaica clash, predominately youthful Jaguars following on in the ‘Two-Tier’ system, will travel to neighbouring Suriname to compete in the Parbo Bier Cup competition from May 23 – 27.
The multiplicity of matches is in an effort to expand the national talent pool by exposing younger players, along with playing as much friendly matches as possible ahead of the opening World Cup Qualifying match against host Mexico on June 8.
The current ‘Golden Jaguars’ 21-man training squad: Colin Edwards, Richard Reynolds, Michael Crandon, Ryan Crandon, Kris Camacho, Denvor Dennis, Konata Manning, Anthony Benfield, Travis Grant, Dwight Peters, Pernell Schultz, Eon Alleyne, Dwaine Jacobs, Kester Jacobs, Daniel Wilson, Jamal Booker, Philbert Moffat, Calvin Sheppard, William Europe, Anthony Abrams and Julien Edwards.
Technical staff: Head Coach Jamaal Shabazz, Assistant Coach Wayne Dover, Assistant Coach/Trainer Ivan Persaud, Goalkeeper Coach Andrew Hazel, Equipment Manager Trevor Burnett, Physios Donna Marie Wickham and Debita Harripersaud, The two Managers are Rawle Adams and Mark Xavier.
Meanwhile, tickets for Guyana’s home matches against Costa Rica on June 12, El Salvador on September 7 and Mexico on October 12 will go on sale at Ashmins from today.
