Vincy Heat Await Flight Comfirmation

The Passage of Hurricane Tomas has led to the closure of the E.T. Joshua Airport in Arnos Vale. PM Dr. Hon. Ralph Gonsalves has indicated that efforts are being made to have two early LIAT flights out of the island early Monday Morning. The optimal situation - given the current circumstances - is that the Vincy Heat contingent could secure seats on one such flight.

The management and technical staff of the Senior Men's National Football Team of St. Vincent & the Grenadines 'Vincy Heat' would be praying for divine favours come Monday morning. The local contingent of officials and players were due to leave the state earlier today (Sunday 31st, October 2010) to participate in Group F of the second group stage of the Digicel Cup 2010 qualification series. However, the inclemency of the weather, which resulted in the closure of the E.T. Joshua Airport - due to the passage of Hurricane Tomas within the last 48 hours - has left hundreds of travellers, including the young Vincentian hopefuls stranded.

The tournament which is expected to commence on Tuesday 2nd, November at a newly arranged Southern Trinidad venue will see the young Vincentians face-off with the new-look Soca Warriors. The tournament continues on Thursday 4th, and Saturday 6th, with Vincy Heat lending its skills to contests with Haiti and Guyana respectively.

Coach Samuel 'Sammy' Carrington is silently confident in the abilities of his young charges and anticipates a very good tournament, while the team's Manager Mr. Othnell Douglas sees it as being absolutely necessary for his young squad to advance to the Finals to be held in Martinique from November 26th to December 5th at Stade Dillon, Fort-de-France.

Vincy Heat's supporters are expected to turn out in their numbers in support of their young football ambassadors.
