National squad announced




The following twenty-four players have been called up by coach Jose de la Paz Herrera to the Belizean national team's provisional squad for the forthcoming 2011 Central American Cup in Panama: Goalkeepers: Shane Orio, Woodrow West and Glendford Chimilio. Defenders: Elroy Smith, Dalton Eiley, Kent Gabourel Jr, Trevor Lennon, Ian Gaynair, Evrall Trapp and Tyrone Pandy. Midfielders: Ryan Simpson, Elroy Kuylen, Lisbey Castillo, Victor Morales, Harrison Roches, Luis Torres, Kareem Haylock, Luis Mendez and Amin August. Forwards: Deon McCaulay, Daniel Jimenez, Orlando Jimenez, Paul Nunez and Evan Mariano. The squad, which will be cut to twenty-one players for when the tournament begins, returned to their training camp yesterday.

In the final round of matches in this opening season’s regular stage of the Caribbean Motors Cup, FC Belize went goal crazy at Belmopan Blaze, winning 6-1 with hat-tricks for both Christian Okonkwo and Jarrett Davis. However, despite this heavy defeat the Blaze have managed to hang on to the sixth and final play-off place as challengers Hankook Verdes were beaten 0-1 at home by regular season winners, Belize Defence Force. In the week’s other game, San Felipe Barcelona and Toledo Ambassadors shared a 1-1 draw. The Championship play-offs begin on January 2nd with Toledo hosting Belmopan and San Felipe travelling to Griga United for the right to play the top two in the semi-finals.
