Enthusiasm high as local footballers depart for CFU U-20 World Cup Qualifiers
Guyanese footballers suffered a setback less than one month ago when the U-17 squad that participated in the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) World Cup Qualifiers returned home empty handed after losing key encounters. A national U-20 squad will attempt to make amends after leaving these shores for St Vincent and the Grenadines yesterday morning for a similar tournament and assistant coach, Joseph Wilson is confident that the local ball weavers would do Guyana proud.
Captained by Daniel Wilson, a competent midfielder, the players convened at the Don Caries Hotel, Public Road Kitty, Sunday afternoon for final briefing sessions and will departed that location early yesterday morning for their overseas mission.
The team is managed by Eton Moses and will be coached by Brian Joseph with assistance from Joseph Wilson.
Mr. Joseph was attending to other matters away from the camp Sunday and in his absence Mr. Wilson exuded confidence in his charges. He said that his boys are prepared for tough encounters starting with the match against Trinidad and Tobago tomorrow, Wednesday August 8. Consequently, the players will once again be in action on Friday 10th against arch-rivals, Suriname and then again on Saturday 12th when they wrap up the tour against St Vincent and the Grenadines.
Mr. Wilson said that the players are experienced and singled out mid fielder, Treyon Bobb who is currently a member of the professional unit, Caledonia AIA of Trinidad and Tobago. Mr. Wilson further said that Bobb is currently playing in the CONCACAF Champion League in Seattle USA but would join the team in the Caribbean Island.
Pernel Schultz, another reputable mid fielder also came in for special mention and the assistant coach believes that he has the potential to make a distinct impact to Guyana’s fortunes.
Guyana is competing in Group 4 along with Trinidad and Tobago, St Vincent and the Grenadines and Suriname. The two top teams will advance to the next round.
