00:00When we're in positions like that, we have to hold on to the ball and we have to ensure that
00:03we take care of it.
00:05Right? Two, three, TTO.
00:07TTO.
00:10Two, three, TTO.
00:15With chemistry, communication and camaraderie evident, TNT's Calypso girls are looking to convert silver into gold at the CAC Games
00:23in the Dominican Republic.
00:24The ladies were second best to regional rivals Jamaica in the gold medal match in 2023, but are quietly confident
00:30in their chances this time around.
00:33I think that the team stands a very good chance of being able to compete.
00:36That's the main thing.
00:37If we are able to maximize on two of the teams that are closer to our ranking, I believe once
00:44we are successful in that, it should allow Trinidad and Tomego to elevate along the ranking structure within Willemburg.
00:50The ladies have been training regularly against male players.
00:53Some think Skipper Khalifa McCullen believes will set them up well for what they will face.
00:58I think we're going to face physicality out there because I know we're coming up against teams like Jamaica, Barbados,
01:06St. Lucia.
01:07So we expect a high quality of netball going into the tournament.
01:11We do not want to underestimate anybody.
01:13We're going to take it game by game and put our best foot forward.
01:15And while the squad has been boosted by the return of sharpshooter Samantha Wallace-Joseph, Vice-Captain Chantel Timongel believes
01:23it will take a team effort.
01:25We have really good players going into this tournament.
01:27We have Samantha Wallace.
01:28We have Shaquanda Green-Noel.
01:29We have Kira Wattwell.
01:31She came in from England.
01:32We have Tia Bruno.
01:35We have a lot of players to look forward to.
01:36The Calypso girls will open the tournament against St. Lucia next Monday, followed by matches against Barbados, Dominican Republic, Bermuda,
01:44and finally against their biggest rivals, Jamaica.
