00:00Trinidad and Tobago's men's and women's teams will be going to Jamaica in the
00:03third week of July for the Caribbean Cup. Practice sessions are in progress for
00:07the prestigious tournament which will see other countries also participating.
00:11TNT women's coach Shiraz Rasool says his players are making progress with their
00:16preparations and just before the tournament starts they should be fully
00:19ready. Yeah we're going to defend our championship. We are defending champions
00:24for the Caribbean. We're going and try and defend that. We know well Jamaica is
00:30home, home grown so that might be our biggest competition. Having said that
00:35Rasool believes TNT also have to be wary of Team Florida. Other than that he says
00:41his team comprises many top names who can accomplish the mission for the Twin
00:45Island country. We have one of the best women in the Caribbean right now who have
00:50been traveling and playing outside, Karen, Karen Ramcharan. We have an experienced
00:59player and we have new players, Charmaine Harrington. She has been on several
01:05tours so that is experienced. We have Kimberly. She has been on tours already.
01:14She has a lot of improvement and she's number two right now with the national team.
01:19Rosemary Duff who is the manager for all the teams also has high expectations
01:24from Trinidad and Tobago in the tournament which runs from July 19th to
01:28the 27th in reggae country. I think we have a very strong chance. We have an
01:32excellent team and I think we have a very good chance of bringing back the
01:36trophy with us. So we also won the men's doubles and the trio in the last
01:41tournament so those titles we're also defending. Despite the fact that darts is
01:46not popular like cricket and football, Duff is pleased that the sport is
01:49growing in Trinidad and Tobago.
