00:00Two days away from the start of the women's under-20 CONCACAF qualifiers and
00:04confidence is high in the Trinidad and Tobago camp. The national team will
00:09face Bermuda in their opening match on Friday from 7 p.m. followed by Dominica
00:13on Sunday and Canada in their last match on Tuesday. Coach of the team Danelle
00:19Maskell says the team has the right mix of players. I think that was ideal for us
00:25particularly seeing some of these 17 step up and they are now a part of the
00:31U-20s basically because of their performance at that tournament gone.
00:37There are high expectations for this current crop of players. Maskell went as
00:42far to say that they can revive the hype in women's football. They are a bunch that
00:47the fans I think would love. They would love to see play. We could compare them
00:53to the the era where we had Mullen and Yaya and Tasha St. Louis and they when
00:59we actually had the fans rallying behind women's football I think this group they
01:03can bring that back first. So when we look at the composure the composition of
01:07this team we have Soleil and Borneo who they are no strangers to representing
01:15Trinidad and Tobago. They've been in the U-17 pool and are now eligible for
01:2120s. So they did their step up and we have the likes of Martin, Archer and
01:29Shireen. They were exceptional in the U-20s so we expect them now to
01:36join and play a very pivotal role as we move on to this tournament here.
01:41Players Calypso Ayung and Oriel Martin summed up their objectives. I think we're
01:47all going in with really high spirits. We've really been bonding as a team
01:50really well. We were in camp this weekend we go back into camp tonight. I think
01:54that we know what the task at hand is and we know what we have to achieve. We
01:58know how hard it's gonna be but we're also very determined and I think that's
02:02the best quality that we have out how determined we are and how close we are
02:06as a team. We're looking to attack, no defensive. We want to stay in the
02:12attacking field always. We want to keep everything in the attacking field because we
02:16want to come out on top.
