Northants footballers call off tour

ENGLISH footballers Northampton Town have cancelled their proposed two-match tour of Trinidad and Tobago.

According to Pro-Sports Limited official Peter Miller, the cancellation was due to flight complications. Northampton were expected here for one week, during which they were scheduled to hold a training camp. They were expected to play matches against T&T Pro League campions CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh at Manny Ramjohn Stadium today and the other match at the Dwight Yorke Stadium, Bacolet, Tobago on Sunday. Miller apologised on behalf of Northampton who had a poor 2003 season finishing last in Nationwide Two. As a result Northants were automatically relegated to Nationwide Three for the next season. The local co-ordinators of the Northampton visit said because of other commitments in England and the flight complications, it would have been impossible to reschedule the Trinidad and Tobago training camp. Northants managed only 39 points from 46 matches and scored 40 goals and let in 79 to finish with a goal-difference of minus 39.
