– 12-member team departs today
Competing under the name, ‘Red Jags’, Guyana will compete at the Bago Sports International beach Soccer tournament set for November 2 – 5 at the Turtle Beach, Black Rock Heritage Park Tobago.
Ahead of what is anticipated to be a very competitive tournament featuring select teams from Jamaica, USA, Switzerland and Brazil, Guyana Football Federation President (ag) Franklin met with the
team on Tuesday at the Bayrock Ground, Linden.
Wilson congratulated the team and management for the hard work they have been putting in over the past months while imploring upon all the need to be good ambassadors for Guyana on and off the field of play.
“You are regarded as the pioneers of this format of the sport in Guyana; be positive role models and set high standards as you represent the Golden Arrowhead in the Twin Island Republic. Discipline is the key to you being successful on and off the field of play so go out there and give it your best shot.”
Wilson noted that the GFF was very happy to support the team as they seek to bring back the bacon to these shores. The Bagosports Beach Football Club, host of the tournament, visited Guyana in May for a Goodwill series which they won 2-1 and the ‘Red Jags’ under the guidance of Coach Abdulla Hamid will be seeking to return the favour in this tournament despite having to face other countries.
The Guyana team has been in intense preparation for this tournament and is rearing to take on all and sundry. Manager Rollin Tappin said that he is satisfied that they have put in lots of hard work and he is confident that his charges will give a very good account of themselves. He also expressed gratitude to the GFF for its assistance towards the team.
The full team reads: Travis Bess, Jermaine Gradison (Captain), Marlon Benjamin, Ron Fiedtkou, Marmarlaque Davidson, Ralph Alexander, Deshawn Joseph, Michael Wilson, Colric Beckles, Abdulla Hamid (Coach), Rowena DeJonge (Physio), Rollin Tappin (Manager).
