Strikers Peter “Big Pete” Byers, Nathaniel Jarvis and Okeem “Soda” Challenger complete the line-up. Coach Rolston “Debu” Williams said he hopes all players, both locally and overseas-based, will bring a level of maturity and professionalism to the team. “Professionalism is an attitude, it’s not about you getting paid because some people get paid but they are not professionals because they don’t carry themselves in a professional manner. Professionalism is an attitude so I hope they bring that attitude to the team, work ethics, the whole camaraderie and everything that it pertains to be a good team so I am just looking forward to that so that we can jell together as a team quickly because we don’t have much time,” he said. Benna Boys are slated to kick off their qualification campaign in Wednesday’s feature match set to start at 7 pm at the Antigua Recreation Grounds (ARG).
