visits to the island.
On their first visit, the Guyanese ladies won two of their matches against Ventures 1-0 and Notre Dame 3-2. The however squandered a 2-0 lead against Paragon to lose 5-2 and fell by one goal margins to Magnolias, 1-2, and Checkers by 0-1.
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. He cited that on the last visit the team showed that they had the quality to compete with all of the teams that they faced but, being the only team required to play twice in one day proved a challenge during the evening matches.
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.
