The Reggae Boyz kicks off their leg of the Digicel Caribbean Cup in a double header at the National Stadium today. In the curtain-raiser at 5:00 pm, Haiti takes on St Vincent and the Grenadines followed by Jamaica against St. Lucia.
Interim head coach Carl Brown, who was reappointed last month following the resignation of Wendell Downswel will be in charge of the team as they begin their defence of the Cup. It will also be the first time that Jamaica will be playing at the "Office" in over 20 months.
The team will be made up mainly of local based players and is expected to advance from Group D, dubbed the "{group of death". Brown is concerned with the strikers at his disposal and will have to choose from Kevin Lamey, Rohan Reid, Roland Dean, Wilfred Smith and Fabian Dawkins. In addition, overseas-based players Omar Daley, Shane Crawford, Sean Fraser and Fabian Dawkins, were called up for the game.
The winner and runner-up advance to the next phase, with the finals set for Trinidad early next year. The 2006/07 Digicel Caribbean Cup winners will earn a first prize of US$120,000. The full squad is: Shawn Sawyers, Richard McCallum, Demar Stewart, Jermaine Taylor, Xavian Virgo, Fabian Davis, Garfield Reid, Shane Crawford, Oneil Thompson, Omar Daley, Demar Phillips, Jason Morrison, Damion Williams, Sean Fraser, Fabian Dawkins, Roland Dean, Wilfred Smith, Kevin Lamey.
