Tim's visit - May 2009
Eleven days of intense heat and training everyday. My Team Captain Che and his Vice Captain Ceaser are doing a good job in organising the training. We have a training session once a week for new players from Youna School.
I would like to welcome the following players into the team:
DODOU MGUM
FATOU COLLEY
DAVID SYLVA
ABDOULIE BUTTAYE
ROHBIN SYLVA
ALIEU JALLOW
SHEIKH BAH
NDEY BITTAYE
PA SAMBA MGUM
PHILIP PERIRRA
MARIAMA BUGIG
Some more have and will join us and are very welcome.
Training now takes place on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Old players and new are concentrating their efforts on the training package I have just completed with them and are trying to increase their standard of play having fun.
This trip was different as I hired a vehicle and drove myself each day. I enjoyed this very much and gave me more independence. I visited many compounds each day after the training including the Youna Resort for lunch. Many people as usual made me very welcome and I remember my last night with new players at Lamin Fofana's Compound. I bought potatoes, peppers, onions and bread which were cooked superbly by Lamin and served with coffee under the stars at midnight.
My summer trip is next and I will continue to update the site and provide more new player information.
