Kenwyne Jones & Michael Carrington fell ill at Dutch trials.

TnT Guardian Reports.
31-Dec-2002 - Talented young footballers Kenwyne Jones and Michael Carrington will have to try again if they hope to play professional football in Holland.
Local agent Dion Sosa said yesterday that both Jones and Carrington fell ill on arrival in Holland, earlier this month, and were unable to attract the attention of Dutch officials.
Because of the drastic change in the weather, said Sosa, the duo was unable to survive the change from hot conditions to “very cold” and couldn’t train for the first couple of days.
Sosa also related that Jones developed an ankle injury and was instructed to rest.
“The plan was for them to move to two to three different clubs,” Sosa indicated.”But instead they spent time, only with Telstar, a First Division team in Amsterdam.”
Sosa said that the agent in Holland, Humphrey Nijman, made arrangements for Jones and Carrington to work with a personal trainer when they arrived in Holland, “to have them fit and ready for the training programme.”
“However, both of them fell ill and that put a damper on their training programme,” stated Sosa.
New arrangements for the two players, said Sosa, will be made and it is expected that they will be returning to Holland in April when the weather is better.
Jones and Carrington, who both had a successful season in the Secondary Schools Football League (SSFL), are due to return home on Saturday.
Jones played a leading role in helping St Anthony’s to make a clean sweep in the SSFL, while Carrington was the top scorer for Scarborough in the Tobago Zone.

Former U-17 striker Michael Carrington aims for another pick.

Michael Carrington is determined to work his way back into the Trinidad and Tobago team.
The Toabgo-born striker who is remembered for being dropped from TnT's Under 17 team for descent against Japan prior to the FIFA Under 17 World Championship, has vowed to settle down and work towards his goals.
Carrington, formerly of St Benedict's College, spoke of this during an interview with TTFF Media recently moments after TnT's 6-1 defeat to Brazil at the Hasely Crawford Stadium.
"That incident is not something I would like to remember. I was angry with myself but I was not vexed with the coach or anything. I was just in frustrations," said Carrington.
He added that he felt pressured to perform well because he had been pointed out as one of the better strikers.
"I was just feeling under pressure because like everything I did, the coaches had to say something. They were always looking at me and everything just came out in that game (against Japan)," added Carrington.
He did mention that his father was in prison since he (Carrington) had been a toddler.
"Now I haven't really made up my mind fully as to what is going to happen but I feel I can work again and get back into the team under the coach. I will be playing for Scarborough Secondary and just try to keep on improving my football," said Carrington.
The tall striker turned out the hero of the evening for Scarborough Secondary as his goal in sudden-death extra time gave his school a come from behind 3-2 victory over El Dorado Secondary in one of the two "Big Four" matches at the Hasely Crawford Stadium.
Scarborough will now meet Naparima College, which were 2-1 winners over St Anthony's College, in Thursday's final.
