U-23s to face Jamaica next Wednesday.
By: Shaun Fuentes (TTFF).

A 21-man Trinidad and Tobago Under 23 Men’s team will face Jamaica’s Under 23s in a friendly encounter on March 7 at the Edward Seaga Complex from 7pm.

The squad, under head coach Angus Eve, will depart for Kingston on Tuesday and will also face a Jamaican Premier League club on March 9 before heading to Fort Lauderdale for a training camp.

Eve is anticipating a good work out from the Jamaicans as they are also expected to include some senior players in the line-up for the clash next Wednesday.

“It’s a good warm up for us to have at this stage of the preparation. Of course several of our players would have played on Friday and then on Sunday before we head off to Jamaica but we’re hoping everyone remains injury free and then we’ll be set for the rest of the campaign going into the final round,” Eve told TTFF Media on Sunday.

Her Excellency High Commissioner Dr. Iva Gloudon will also meet the T&T contingent during their brief stay in Jamaica

The Olympic qualifying round is not set within a FIFA date which means that the clubs are not obligated to release the players. Belgium club Raving Genk will not release Khaleem Hyland but in the case of the local and US clubs, the TTFF appreciates their cooperation and support as they will be releasing the players for an extended period which also includes the training camp in Fort Lauderdale from March 10 up until the end of the qualifiers in April.

T&T are slated to play five training matches in Fort Lauderdale including one against Canada’s Under 23 team and another against Orlando City, pro team of midfielder Kevin Molino.

“We are looking to play five matches within the two week period before the tournament,” Eve said.

“We will play three matches in the first week to assess the new overseas players coming in in terms of their fitness and how well they fit into the squad and then the final week we will play a couple more games as we decide on the final squad for the tournament.”

Team manager William Wallace said that Molino, Sean De Silva and Columbus Crew’s Kevan George will join the squad in the US. However there is some uncertainty over Mekeil Williams who recently signed with Polish club Pogon Szczecin FC while US-born player Nick De Leon has not committed to date.

“We have confirmation on three of the players but there’s no final word on the availability of Williams and De Leon who has indicated his willingness to play but we are still awaiting final word from him. If that doesn’t come within the next week or so then we will arrange to suit by use of another player,” Wallace said.

T&T 21-man squad to Jamaica

San Juan Jabloteh - Sheldon Bateau.
Defence Force F.C. - Sheldon Clarke, Curtis Gonzales.
North East Stars - Kaydion Gabriel, Andre Marchan, Jean-Luc Rochford, Jeromie Williams.
Caledonia AIA - Trevin Caesar, Jamal Gay, Micah Lewis, Nuru Abdullah Mohammad, Aquil Selby.
St. Ann's Rangers F.C. - Kareem Moses, Cameron Roget.
T&TEC F.C. - Jayson Joseph, Marcus Joseph.
W Connection - Joevin Jones, Shahdon Winchester, Jomal Williams, Leslie Russell.
1st Santa Rosa FC – Daneil Cyrus.

This is a good move by the TTFF. Creating a relationship with Orlando City can be good for the future of our football, look how they helped Molino progress. Hopefully Rochford, Cyrus etc can impress in this game and earn a try out. Im also happy that Mekeil Williams is gonna miss this, let the man stay with his club and establish himself. Its probably also a good thing that DeLeon turned us down this time. I believe that if we do well and DeLeon shines, the US would call him up like Aaron Maund and everything would be a waste. Im also assuming that Cato & Thomson cant be called up because of club commitments. However i still dont understand how Britto didnt make the roster, it sounds like hes been doing well in the pro league. Another coach who thinks that Winchester & Britto cant play together,however they seem to do well at W Connection.

Good luck Angus. I really mean that.
I support you as a coach, instilling real passion, knowledge & refreshing Trini "do-or-die" in yuh players.
Jess do me a favour and and stay out of the Jackula, Scampito and Rodent scandal and resist being corrupted by those who wish you to be an impediment to change.
Jess play de "fitball" as Big Mag say and we go be cool.

It's a good idea, but it has never worked out for us so far. Newcastle and FC Dallas come to mind.

Good set of games by the TTFF.

However, it strange to see over 6 foreign players trial with the team and none got picked, are they really that bad or is Angus a bias local coach.

Britto and Johan Peltier is also out.

Really sad that Hyland was refused time to play for TT in the qualifying matches in the USA,why cant these big countries show some compassion on the small countries,arguably our best player wont be there to give us an even better chance.

Hmm, not sure JAmaica even has an active under-23 squad at the moment, but I suppose they can use 3 or 4 of the guys who recently played on the senior team + the best qualified candidates from the RSPL. Not sure what to make of this game, but given that your boys have been playing together for some time now, i'd expect you to have a more cohesive unit...1-0 goal victory for the boyz or tied game

If it was in College Park I would go. But the Soccerplex is quite a pull from DC.
