Jaguars resume preparation for International commitments

Sep 26, 2012 Sports

 

Georgetown, Guyana – The Golden Jaguars commence the first stage of their preparation for next months World Cup qualifiers and 2012 Caribbean Football Union Cup, with training session throughout this week at the Police Sports Cup Ground, Eve Leary  from 7:30 to 9:00 am daily.
These sessions will mainly be focused on the fitness enhancement and assessment of the players via a conditioning plan by the teams Brazilian trainer Americo Falopa.
Supervising the team for the week, will be national assistant coach Wayne Dover in the absence of national coach Jamaal Shabazz. Shabazz has commitments with his Trinidad and Tobago club Caledonia AIA, in the CONCACAF Champions League this week versus Honduras team Marathon.
With the European, Caribbean and North American players also currently unavailable due to club engagements, the assembling squad will be 18 man local-based contingent. Some of the more notable players in the squad are striker Anthony “Awo” Abrams, mid-fielder Konata Manning and wingers Dwight Peters and Dwain Jacobs.
Although the final two World Cup qualifiers versus CONCACAF giants Mexico and Costa Rica on October 12th & 16th respectively is high on the agenda, one eye is also being placed as aforementioned on the Caribbean Football Union Cup.
25 teams have entered the qualification process for the Caribbean Championship  competing for a total of 8 spots in the final tournament. Guyana have been placed in Group two and will face hosts St. Lucia, Curacao and St. Vincent and the Grenadines from October 21-25th.
Even though the qualifying tournament is also part of 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup  qualifying process, the tournament has not been included by FIFA on the FIFA International match calendar meaning that the participating nations’ first choice players may not be available to play due to club commitments.
With this factor in mind, coach Dover has noted there is much incentive at hand for the local players to impress to be a part of those matches.
Guyana training squad:
Richie Richard, Dellon Young, Derrick Carter, Jason Crumwell, Les Charles Chrichlow, Dwain Jacobs, Kester Jacobs, Philbert Moffat, Konata Manning, Andrew Murray Jr, Dwight Peters, Anthony Abrams, Daniel Wilson, William Europe, Aloysius Edwards, Anthony Benfield, Anthony Abrams, Clive Nobrega.
