Jamaica Women’s Premier League, JWPL, champions Frazsiers Whip face another difficult task on Thursday when they play away to Monterey of Mexico in their second game of the Concacaf Women’s Champions Cup at the Estadio BBVS at 9 pm.
Although coach Courtney Dowdie is hoping his charges can apply themselves and take a positive result from the match, he said making a good impression that will earn the players future opportunities remains their main objective.
“The goal is always the team’s objective. The objective is we want three points. But for me, the players come first. So although the objective for the match is to get three points, the main objective is that when we get back to Jamaica, we will be getting phone calls for some of these girls to get contracts and scholarships. That is the ultimate objective. But otherwise, we aim to come away from the game with something,” he said.
After losing their opening game to Alajuelense of Costa Rica, Dowdie believes that facing a team with a similar style of play will be to their benefit and that if they apply themselves and give everything, they can get a result.
“Monterey is a really good team. They are one of the best teams in Mexico. We would have seen how they played their first game and would have analysed it and seen how best the girls can match up.
