But, according to this Trinidad biased article: Starworld Strikers duo Andre Charles and Bevon Lewis have reportedly showed promising signs during their stint with American Major League Soccer (MLS) side New York/New Jersey Metrostars over the past week. Charles and Lewis have enjoyed solid seasons for the San Fernando-based pro team and earned call ups to the national team. According to Starworld boss Ashmeed Ali - Andre Charles, a former Princes Town Senior Comprehensive player has come in for some praise for his efforts so far at Metrostars. Former St Benedict's College standout Kester Cornwall was forced to miss the trial due to injury while Jamaican Under 23 international Nicholas Addlery was kept with the Jamaican team. "The players have gone out there and have been giving it their best shot from what I have heard so far," Ali said. "The experience alone will be a worthwhile one and if they can tie up deals that will be a plus." The Metrostars preseason schedule include matches against DC United, Chicago Fire and Kansas City Wizards as well as a trip to Spain . Three players from the club, Eddie Pope, Jonny Walker and John Wolyniec were this week called to the United States squad by head coach Bruce Arena. Anyone know?
Kester Cornwall, the tall-scoring Starworld Strikers player, did not leave yesterday for the United States as planned for a trial with Metro Stars of the MLS (Major League Soccer). Originally, Cornwall and clubmates Bevon Lewis and Jamaican Nicholas Addlery were the trio targeted by Metro Stars to undergo a four-day trial with the club. But because of a slight injury sustained in his team’s match against CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh last week, it was felt that in his best interest he put off the trial until a later date. Cornwall’s replacement was Andre Charles, who was recently called along with Lewis to join the national senior team in training. Chances are that the trio will also have a stint with DC United after leaving NY Metro Stars. http://www.socawarriors.net/starworld_strikers.htm
I wish the metros and mls were more media friendly in letting people know who is trying out and stuff. Not to mention that I'm glad to see that as off 1/29/04 Clint Mathis is still on the pre season roster. http://metrostars.com/metronews/submissions/2004/january/01292004v1.shtml
