TT take on Kenya Olympians

NAIROBI: Trinidad and Tobago footballers will face the Kenyan Olympic national team in their final match in Nairobi today from 4 pm (9am TT time) at the Kasarani Stadium. Following Saturday’s action filled 1-1 draw with the Kenya national senior team here, skipper Reynold Carrington and his “Soca Warriors” spent the early part of yesterday relaxing as the contingent visited the Nairobi National Park. Coach Stuart Charles Fevrier conducted a session at the Tusker Brewery ground in the afternoon before reviewing a video of the game with the players at the Utalii Hotel. One change is expected to the starting team with defensive midfielder Travis Mulraine coming in for striker Hector Sam who is nursing a slight leg injury. “We are taking every game seriously. We always want to start with the best team available and our approach for the game will be the same as the opening game and every game on this tour,” Fevrier said. Assistant coach Brian Williams has been working closely along with assistant Jamaal Shabaaz, Ross Russell and Fevrier and he too is impressed with the affairs in the TT camp. “I think it is safe to say that this team is really bonding well and so far I am impressed with the positive vibes here. Being away from home and maintaining this sort of spirit is important and I think the guys have showed good character so far,” said the former “Strike Squad” member. Following today’s game, the Trinidad and Tobago squad will travel to Botswana via South Africa tomorrow to face the Botswana senior team on June 10 before returning to South Africa for the final friendly on June 15.
