Squad trimmed from 48 to 26 following weekend trials
As the time draws near for the upcoming female multi nation football tournament next month, the locally based Lady Jaguars will take their preparations to a higher level from December 4, according to Head Coach, Bilall Namtambu.
The previous squad of 48 players was trimmed to 26 following two days of trails last weekend at the Georgetown Football Club ground.
The majority of players selected are from recent Inter Association Champion side Georgetown while players from Lethem, Bartica, Linden and East Demerara have also been included.
The local Lady Jaguars will take on their USA based colleagues, Suriname’s National Team and Trinidad and Tobago’s Under-20 team in a four-way tournament from December 18-20 in Guyana as the Guyana Football Federation in collaboration with their North American Agents led by Colin Baker seeks to put together a strong squad to compete in next year’s female World Cup qualifying campaign.
Nantambu, who is being assisted by Sherry Abrams and Shawn Lythcott stated that at last weekend’s trials they were looking for players who were willing to work while not having the ball, those with the technical competence and tactical awareness.
“While I observed that there’s a lot of work to be done in terms of their technical and tactical abilities as well as strength building, I am happy with eth level of talent that we have here. We have a bunch of talented players but we will have to up the level of preparation if we are going to give a good account of ourselves against the opposition come December.”
Nantambu is aiming for the squad to be encamped from December 4 until the time of competition.
Those selected are: Georgetown – Ronette Cort, Collette Hope, Tricia Munro, Odessa Romeo, Alicia Williamson, Shennel Daniels, Charmane Ward and Andrea Lashley. Lethem – Leoni Robinson, Clarinde Stanislaus, Lorian Toney, Roxanne Stephens, Olive Ambrose and Bawsiema Michaels. Bartica – Samantha Beaton, Tyreka Joseph, Alana Chapelle and Latoya Mc Donald. Linden – Jamilla Smith, Natasha Lewis, Akela Castelo and Stacy Hoyte. East Demerara – Ruth George, Sasha Greaves, Cloetea Dublin and Neeshauna Castelo. (Franklin Wilson)
