Ma Pau will be going all out this season to get its hands on some of the titles this season. To this end the club which is heading into its third season has signed nine players to the 2010 rooster. The Woodbrook based team, showed major improvements last season finishing fifth in the league, after ending ninth in its first season in 2008.
The new signings in Lester Peltier, Elton John, Devon Jamerson, and Joel Russell of San Juan Jabloteh, Seon Powers, Keyeno Thomas and Alejandro Figueroa of Joe Public, ,Cyd Gray of United Petrotrin and Shane Calderon of Valtrin United.
Director of Football and senior team head coach Michael McComie speaking at the unveiling at the Sweetlime Restaurant, Ariapita Avenue, said the club will be more than a force to reckon with this season. “It will be a frightening experience for teams when they have to come up against us, with the caliber of players we now have on our rooster,” said Mc Comie. He said management has invested heavily at the top and they are expecting results.
The nine players unveiled will join Lyndon Andrews, Trevin Caesar, Renne Britto, Dwayne James, Kerry Noray, Shandell Samuel, Aquil Selby, Shane Mattis, Mikeil Williams, Curtis Gonzales and Kevin Molino whose contracts have all been renewed.
McComie and assistant coach Angus Eve said they have so far seen a major turn around in the whole attitude of the players since taking over the clubs horrid debut season. The head coach said they came with a three-year plan, and will be looking for big results this season. ““We didn’t know what resources we had available but knew that we were going to produce a competitive team.” He said one of the club’s main goals is to qualify for the Concacaf “Champions League” next year. |
