barbados fields a young squad.

Football friendly tonight
Published on: 3/25/07.

BY KIRK CORBIN


BARBADOS WILL UNVEIL a glimpse of the next generation of senior footballers when they take on Guatemala in a friendly international at the National Stadium tonight.

The match, which kicks off at 8 p.m., will see several changes from the Barbados squad which participated in the Digicel Cup campaign.

Selectors have turned to the younger players with no fewer than ten players under the age of 25 to be named to the final 18. The squad had already featured several youth team players, and a few more were added either due to injury or unavailability of the veteran players.

"We are going in that direction. We are trying to expose as many young players as possible and we will see how they manage. It will not be easy because the step up from club level to international level is a big jump, but that is the direction we have to take," head coach Eyre Sealy told SUNSPORT.

Defenders Jarvis Forde of Tudor Bridge and Brittons Hill's Omar Archer are the latest additions, while the Barbados Defence Force's Jamar Watson and Paul Alexander came in earlier last week.

Missing will be goalkeeper Adrian Chase, defenders John Parris and Ramuel Miller and defensive midfielder Elvis DeFreitas who were all part of the Digicel Cup squad. Chase and Parris are injured – Parris with what is suspected to be a fractured arm – while Miller is ill. Chase's absence means that either Kareem Farrell or Omari Eastmond, will make their senior team debut, while Parris' injury could pave the way for Greg Belle – one of eight current BDF players in the team – to gain his first senior cap.

DeFreitas, who impressed with his ball-winning during the Digicel Cup qualifying rounds, has an injured toe. Sweeper Rommel Brathwaite has been sidelined for nearly a month due to a leg injury.

Remaining from the Digicel Cup setup are captain Norman Forde, Gregory "Lalu" Goodridge, Malcolm "Buju" Marshall, Dwight James, Rohan Hall, Jonathan Straker and Paul Lovell.

The changes in personnel could force head coach Eyre Sealy and technical advisor Keith Griffith to make some alterations to the formation. If they stick to their variation of the 4-4-2, either Goodridge, who was used as a wing back for club and country in recent months and has been returned to midfield, or Paul Lovell, could start on the bench since Forde will start in the other attacking midfield position.

Striker Rivierre Williams returns after a long layoff due to injury. Either his BDF strike partner Dwayne McClean, the leading goalscorer in the Premier League, Dwayne Mars of Claytons Kola Tonic Notre Dame, Shane Welch of Tudor Bridge or Gall Hill's Quincy Atherly could get the job. One of these players is, however, likely to be omitted from the final squad, which was to be named late yesterday evening.

Guatemala recently hired a new coach in Colombian Hernan Gomez. The Central Americans are preparing for the CONCACAF Gold Cup in June, and take on fellow Gold Cup qualifiers the United States on Wednesday in Texas.

They are also looking to qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa and are upbeat about their chances to advance from the CONCACAF zone since the squad from the previous campaign remained virtually intact.

Sunday's friendly will be preceded by a Division One encounter between Paradise and Maxwell at 5 p.m.
