WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, July 9, 2015 - The coaches of the four
teams participating in the CAZOVA Girls’ Youth Tournament gave
their views about the chances of their sides following the
preliminary enquiry conducted by members of the control
committee on Wednesday.
This tournament has previously been staged in 2007, ’12 and ’13
and Trinidad & Tobago captured the gold medal every time.
Barbados’s Shennel Pooler: Training facilities were a problem so
we had to train twice as day sometimes. A Cuban coach helped
with the technical aspects and we should do well. We came to
win.
Bonaire’s Rudi Anthony: This is our first time in the
competition and the girls may be a little bit nervous, but we
trained hard and think we can compete at a good level.
Curacao’s Patrice Bridgewater: This tournament is more about
development. You either win or you learn. Home court advantage
should not a real factor at this level
Trinidad & Tobago’s Assistant Coach Courtnee Mae Clifford: Just
two of the players have experience at this level and we are not
favourites like in the past. We have been training hard and will
try our best. |
