U-20

October half-term proved to be the opportunity of a lifetime for four lucky young coaches who traveled with The FA to Trinidad & Tobago as part of the International Project 'Changing Lives'. This is an account of their week.

Trinidad and Tobago's national Under-20 footballers will be back hard at training next week as they seek to shake off the disappointment of a 2-0 defeat to Nicaragua in the Bolivar Invitational Cup tournament in Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela on Thursday.

Four Young Leaders provided coaching advice in Trinidad & Tobago.

National Under 20 defender Akeem Adams is definitely one of the key players on the current national team which is bidding to qualify for the 2011 Under 20 World Cup in Colombia.

The Young Soca Warriors leave today for St Vincent for the first leg of their home-and-away Caribbean Football Union (CFU) tie on Friday.

T&T Under-20 Soca Warriors conceded three goals in the space of 23 minutes in the second-half to go under to host Venezuela, 4-2 in their penultimate match of the six-team Bolivar Invitational Cup at the Estadio Cachamay Stadium, Puerto Ordaz on Tuesday night.

Trinidad & Tobago international Jerrel Britto recently signed a boot deal with Concave Footwear Company. Britto joins an elite group of players currently wearing the boots, which includes English Premier League stars such as John O’Shea & Wes Brown.

Scoring in the dying stages of the match to avoid defeat most times results in a feeling of a late victory and the showing of country's National Under 20 footballers is testimony to this.
