Head coach of the Guyana U17 girls team Akeila Castello, said yesterday that the expectation was for the team to be very competitive when they face off with Barbados today in CONCACAF U17 Qualifying Championships at the National Track and Field Centre, Leonora.
The local side will commence their group-D campaign at 17:00hrs, in what will be the first fixture for the U17 female side in over three years.
Speaking at a press conference yesterday at the Princess Ramada Hotel, Providence, Castello said:“It was a wonderful experience working with these girls for over a couple of weeks. They would have had to face a number of challenges going forward but they really showed great desire to learn what was being imparted. They did a lot of technical and tactical work over the period, they are now at a point where they are ready to compete, we are expecting a victory from them regardless the end result of the game.”
