On this occasion the team faces Paragon in their opening match this morning at 11:00am and return later in the evening to face Magnolias.
The GCC ladies have agreed to the rigorous schedule which includes two matches each day in order to manage costs by reducing the amount of flights to the host island.
Tomorrow GCC faces Malvern for the first time in the competition at 11:00AM and then return to the field at 5:00PM to oppose Notre Dame.
Team coach Philip Fernandes has indicated that he is cautiously optimistic of his team’s chances.

The team’s conditioning has not let them down, however, and he is hopeful that the few adjustments made over the past two weeks will make a positive difference in the final score line.
