You would think that this squad would be part of the plan to make it to the Olympics but seeing how short sighted the JFF is I doubt if there will be any continuity here. When you say olympics in Jamaica we only think track & field...

TWENTY-THREE UNDER-21 players have been selected by the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) to start preparations for the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games qualifiers in April.
The players reported to camp yesterday at the players' residence at Shortwood Road and will be there until Thursday. This camp is in preparation for the qualifying matches for April 5, 7 and 9, in Paramaribo, Suriname, against the Dominican Republic and hosts Suriname.
The CAC Games will be held in Colombia in July and Wendell Downswell, technical director, told The Gleaner that there is a possibility that the Young Reggae Boyz will be playing two international friendly matches in Berbuda on February 22 and 26.
"We have started to intensify the preparation because there are two likely games in Bermuda sometime in this month as part of the preparations for the CAC Games qualifiers against Suriname and Dominica Republic."
"The good thing about this squad, is that they have been together for the last two or three years. They have been part of the Under-20 team and a number of them have turned out for the national team so we have a wealth of experience there. They will also form an integral part of the squad for the Olympic qualifiers," Downswell explained.
The invitees are: Jermaine Taylor, Anthony Christie, Richard West, Luton Shelton, Ryan Thompson (Harbour View); Keneil Moodie, Nicholy Finlayson, Mario Harrison (Reno); Rudolph Austin, Sheldon Smith, Adrian Reid, Bryan Bayliss, Rafei Wolfe, Ricardo Cousins, Steven Morissey (Portmore); Marlon Benbow, Howard Fisher (Arnett Gardens); Jeff Pearce (Village United); Ralston Robinson (Waterhouse); Kemar Munroe (St. Catherine); Sean Giveans (Sport Central); Horace Howell (Tivoli Gardens); Merrick Howard (St. Elizabeth).

have they really been togather for the last 2 years.
what happen to some of top Dcup ballas?
I hope they will include some of the overseas players. I thought it would help if they included one or two of the under 17s. Under 21 means over 19 and under 21 it seems fi the JFF.

Interview with Reggae Boy Simeon Howell Wednesday, January 28, 2004
Prior to departure for the CONCACAF Olympic Qualifiers in Mexico, RBSC spoke with Simeon Howell.
Name: Simeon Howell Date of Birth: August 26, 1985 Place of Birth: Reading Club: Reading (started at age 13) Position: Central midfield
MM: How did you get the call-up? SH: I came on trial over the summer, at the same time as Bradley (Thomas). I must have impressed, and I played against Cuba away.
MM: What are your Jamaican connections? SH: My Mom and dad are Jamaican. They migrated around 30 years ago.
MM: How have you settled in? SH: Only been here twice, but I am starting to settle in. There a lot of new faces all the time. I know Omar Daley from Reading though.
MM: What surprised you most about the experience? SH: The weather - it is a lot hotter than I expected. It slows down the game, so it makes it different.
MM: What about training compared to England? SH: Here it’s intense and technical. And some of the players are more skilful than in England.
MM: How do you rate Cargill? SH: He is a tactical coach.
MM: What is it going to take for the team to advance? SH: We’ve got a very good chance. We have got a good set of young players, but I don’t know about the other teams as well.
MM: Who are you football heroes? SH: I compare myself to Patrick Veira. And Paul Scholes of ManU.
MM: What about locally? SH: Loads of good players. I’m impressed with all.
MM: Well, I want to thank you for the opportunity, Simeon. All the best in the tournament. SH: Thank you.
