The final 18 players to travel on Sunday to Dominica will be named tomorrow. The team will have their final practice game against a Bartica side today from 13:30hrs at the GFC Ground.
On Sunday last, the ‘Junior Jaguars’ defeated a GFC Under-20 side 3-0 and Gilbert said he was satisfied with the way his charges performed especially their defensive awareness in that match.
“We {Technical staff} have pointed out some green areas from the GFC game and we intend to put in a better performance against the Bartica side today at GFC. We will be aiming to create more scoring opportunities and bury our chances and have our midfield coming forward much more.”
But generally, Gilbert says the players have all been responding very well to the training they have been undergoing despite the challenges that have faced with the rain and conditions of the grounds. “We have had sessions on building tactical awareness and sharpening the technical abilities of the players. The area of fitness has also been worked on and things have been advancing very well to date. I expect these players to do us proud in Dominica.”
