National U-20 footballers win training match

Noah Powder and Joshua Leach were the men on target for TT with goals in the ninth and 23rd minutes respectively.

TT will play their final match of the tour today against Cardoso FC’s Under-20 team prior to their departure for San Jose, Costa Rica on Wednesday for the CONCACAF Under-20 Men’s Championship.

Coach Brian Williams, referring to Saturday’s victory, said it was a timely confidence- booster for his men. “It was a good win for us coming to the end to what has been a highly intense and extensive training camp for the team here in Cali,” he said. “I was pleased with the way we organised our game from the early stages of the game and we managed to avoid some of the errors we had been taking and we were able to score two goals in the first half.

“It would have been better for us to push on with a couple more goals in the first half but I was satisfied with us being able to prevent the opposition from scoring,” Williams added.
