Edwards excited over upcoming Gold Cup.
By Shaun Fuentes (TTFF). With his season almost over, Ipswich Town captain Carlos Edwards says his next order of business is trying to help Trinidad and Tobago put on a respectable showing at the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Edwards scored a brilliant 6th minute goal in Ipswich’s 3-1 victory over Birmingham City on the weekend to seal the club’s stay in the English Championship Division for next season. It was his second strike in recent weeks that proved crucial to Ipswich’s position on the table with one more game against Burnley remaining before season end on May 4th. The win pushed Ipswich to 60 points in eleventh spot on the League table.
The former Sunderland man is looking forward to a return to the national team for two upcoming friendlies against Romania and Estonia on June 4th and 7th.
“I’m delighted to have scored to help Ipswich stay up. It’s been a long, hard season for us but we came out well and we just want to finish the season and look ahead to next season,” Edwards told TTFF Media on Monday.
“The next order of business for me is putting on the national shirt again. I’m excited about the next few weeks leading into the Gold Cup. This will be my first Gold Cup appearance and I think it’s an excellent opportunity for us to put ourselves back on the football map.
