I was not aware that Onandi Lowe was at Coventry. We got see this guy play in the A-league on few occasion with Rochester ( I belive). The guy with the Orange shoes.

SABuffalo786 Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 I've got a feeling that Jamaica is going to be a scary attacking team this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only lock at foward I can think of for Jamaica is Barry Hayles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnipeg Fury Posted April 23, 2004 Author Share Posted April 23, 2004 U.S. UNDER-20 BEAT JAMAICA 4-0 IN SUNRISE, FLA. St. Louis University forward Will John scored two goals and provided one assist as the U.S. Under-20 Men’s National Team defeated Jamaica 4-0 for their second victory against the Reggae Boyz in three days at the Sunrise Hilton in Sunrise, Fla. The victory is the third straight shutout for Thomas Rongen’s squad during their weeklong camp in South Florida, as they defeated both Jamaica and Haiti Select 1-0 earlier in the week. The U.S. will hold a practice tomorrow in the morning and then play their final match of the camp when they face Haiti Select for the second time on Saturday, April 24. “This was a little bit better performance than our first meeting with Jamaica,” said Rongen. “In this match we did a better job of finishing and I thought we were a little tighter in the back that enabled us to get our third shutout of the week. We’re still working on some things, but I’m looking forward to our final game against Haiti and hopefully end the camp on a high note.” In the beginning of the match Jamaica was controlling the flow of play and pressing the U.S. backline, but similar to their first match, the Reggae Boyz settled for opportunistic shots from 30 yards out or further. After two long bombs that went way high and wide in the first 15 minutes, Dean Thompson got behind the defense in the 19th minute and tried to give Jamaica an early lead. Receiving the ball just inside the 18-yard box, Thompson’s attempt on goal was blocked as U.S. ‘keeper Justin Hughes came off his line and did well to dive low to his left to make the save. The U.S. took control of the match in the 27th minute, getting their first of three goals in a span of nine minutes. Forward Kamani Hill pushed the ball out wide right to Stuart Holden, who got around a defender on the flank and served in a low cross to the front of the net for a streaking John. With two defenders around him John got a foot to the service, flicking it to the left side netting past the helpless keeper. The Under-20s doubled their lead in the 34th minute when Jimenez put in a measured cross off a free kick at the right corner to the near post finding Hill, who raced in unmarked and with a slight touch of his foot, redirected the ball just inside the far left post. A minute later, Jimenez got a goal of his own. After Jamaica lost the ball off the kick-off, the U.S. pushed it up the middle of the field where John collected the ball, turned upfield and beat three lunging defenders before laying it off to his left for Jimenez at to top of the penalty area. With Jamaican ‘keeper Ralston Robinson sprinting off his line, Jimenez coolly chipped the ball over his head, dropping the ball just under the crossbar. Just before the half, John almost got his second of the game when he hit a well-struck ball from 20-yards out that Robinson just got a piece of to parry over the bar. In the second half, the flow of the play slowed down considerably as both sides got a bit sloppy and committed a number of fouls. The U.S. got their final tally of the game in the 71st minute when second half substitute Michael Bradley, Rongen’s only sub of the match, chipped in a ball from his central midfield position finding John, who had made a diagonal run from the right side. With Robinson off his line, John took the ball out of the air with his foot and knocked it past the stone-footed ‘keeper and into the back of the net. Jamaica had its best chance to get on the board two minutes later when Keneil Moodie dribbled through a gap in the U.S. defense on the right side of the penalty area an hit a shot from 16 yards out. Hughes got a piece of it, but it deflected behind him and was bouncing toward the goal line before Patrick Phelan raced back and cleared it off the line, knocking into fellow defender Tim Ward, who was also sprinting back on the play, in the process.

Winnipeg Fury Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 Euell targeted by Reggae Boyz Monday May 10 2004 The Jamaican Football Federation are trying to encourage Charlton Athletic striker Jason Euell to join the Caribbean side's international set up. But although the 27-year-old has by no means ruled out playing for the Reggae Boyz, he will not take part in this summer's Unity Cup. "At this point in time I feel I am unable to give the Jamaican Football Federation a definite answer," Euell told the official Charlton website. "However, I promise to reconsider their invitation after discussing the situation further with Charlton. "Then I will let the relevant people know my decision after the summer break." Euell, a £4,75m record signing for the Addicks, has represented England at youth level and has six U21 caps, but would qualify to play for Jamaica through his father. The Caribbean side play Nigeria and the Republic of Ireland at The Valley on May 31st and June 2nd respectively, and begin their World Cup qualifying games against Haiti in mid-June.

Winnipeg Fury Posted May 11, 2004 Author Share Posted May 11, 2004 ROVERS LAND REGGAE BOY Tranmere Rovers boss Brian Little is already planning for next season by snapping up Jamaican midfielder Theodore Whitmore from Livingston. Little knows all about Whitmore having had him when he was in charge of Hull. Whitmore has agreed a one-year deal at Prenton Park and Little was delighted to capture the experienced midfielder. "We have in Theo a midfield player with great creativity and an eye for a goal and he's a wonderful dribbler of the ball," Little told the club's official website. "People might not associate him with skill but believe me that's his trademark. He's creative, very bright and makes things happen out of nothing. "I know he will settle here quickly and I'd like to think we might create a very firm crowd favourite." Meanwhile, Rovers have released Micky Mellon, Shane Nicholson, Sean Connelly, Graham Allen and Alex Hay as Little tries to trim down his squad.
