T&T Senior Men touch down in Kingston

The majority of Trinidad and Tobago’s Senior Men’s team arrived in Kingston on Wednesday morning for the two upcoming international friendlies against Jamaica on March 11th and 14th.

Head Coach Angus Eve and the home-based players selected traveled together while Noah Powder and Jessie Williams arrived around midday from the United States. The remaining players including Jomal Williams and Kaile Auvray are scheduled over the next 24 hours.

Eve was scheduled to lead his squad through a light session at the Jamaica Football Federation technical centre at University of the West Indies Mona Campus. The squad will be based at the JFF/UWI/Captain Horace Burrell Centre of Excellence until it travels to Montego Bay on Friday morning ahead of Saturday’s International friendly which takes place at the Montego Bay Sports Complex from 7pm TT.

Upon arrival at the Normal Manley International Airport, Eve told the media,

“These two games are important for us from the standpoint of giving our local-based players primarily the opportunity for much needed international match practice, so that we can see them in action against high opposition like Jamaica, heading into our Nations League matches later in the month.”

“No games are really friendlies at this level anymore. I would think that each team wants to see what their players would do and how they would react in situations like these.

“We know what the others guys (overseas-based ) have and therefore what we are looking for in these games is to see how the players selected here stand up in a high intensity environment. Jamaica is always an intense environment, especially when playing against Trinidad and Tobago.”
