National head coach Leo Beenhakker looked on cautiously but still had time for his occasional jokes and laughs with the 16-man Trinidad and Tobago's President's team in his final session at the Larry Gomes Stadium on Monday evening before today's friendly against Grenada's Olympic outfit.


With only Silvio Spann and Atiba Charles nursing slight injuries, nothing which will hamper them from playing, Beenhakker had a two hour session with several of his World Cup bound players who all looked the part as they followed all instructions at Arima .

Falkirk midfielder Densill Theobald was a bubbling with excitement as he ran out with the others in a 30 minute scrimmage with goalies Clayton Ince and Jan Michael Williams held their positions between the two goals which were apart over a little less than half the field.

"I feel great and I feeling to play the game so much," Theobald said. "What a feeling it is to be with these boys and work with this coach."

Theobald arrived on the weekend with Coventry City goalie Clayton Ince and New England Revolution defender Avery John as the three-overseas pros invited for the two games, the second of which will be on Thursday at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium. German-based winger Evans Wise arrived here on Friday was a late draft into the squad.

"Definitely it's a good chance to get a couple games in. It's always a pleasure to be back home and the matches were in the right time," Wise said.

The tea, which is based at the Crowne Plaza, will train again on Wednesday following tonight's match.
