MoBay Utd confident of CFU win despite not training

LIVINGSTON SCOTT, STAR Writer

Hours after their arrival in Trinidad and Tobago for their Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Club Championship semi-final against the host's W-Connection at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Montego Bay United were unable to find a training field.

Their chairman, Orville Powell, was disappointed about the issues, ahead of the team's game this evening at 6:00.

Powell said the field made available had no lighting and no alternative venue could be found.

Despite his disappointment at losing the day, Powell remains confident of their chances to qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League.

"That is our main focus (qualifying) and that's what we are working towards. Outside of a little injury here and there, we are confident going into the first game (semi), and we really want to get that first game. If we win that first game (semi-final) we would have achieved our goal and we can move on to being champions of the Caribbean."

Powell said the team is on the verge of creating history and they are all ready for the challenge. He also wants the club to be proud representative for the country in their first international outing.

"This is just great history and memories for our club.We have achieved so much already and everything is considered a plus. We are prepared and the boys are ready mentally and physically, and the way the team is performing, we feel good," he said.

"We don't want to be too confident, we are just going there to fight and never say die. We want to represent the people of Mobay and by extension Jamaica, because the encouragement we are seeing of late is great," he said.
