Kanata Manning: Midfielder. D.0.B: 03/20/86: Club: Pele: Attends Government Technical Institute.
Manning is the captain and the most experienced player on the team. He has been a member of the national Under-17 side since 2002.
His experience is sure to be an asset to the side which could get into the next round with a draw. Mandela is a good distributor of the ball who is bound to create trouble once he gets near the box.
Dwight Peters: Striker. D.O.B. 08/23/86 Club: Melanie Damishana: Attends Government Technical Institute.
Like his name sake Dwight Yorke, Peters is as goal-hungry as they come. On a three-match tour of Suriname recently he tallied four goals, scoring a hattrick in one game. Coach Peter Lashley described Peters as a go-getter who is good with either foot. Swiftness is another asset of this dapper player who is sure to create havoc in the Dominica defence.
Adrian Adams: Striker: D.O.B. 03/13/86: Club: New Amsterdam United. Attends Vrymen's Ervin Secondary.
This diminutive player is a creator of opportunities. Although not as fast as Peters, Adams is equally as lethal and is in his first year as a junior national. Adams scored against Dominica and has expressed confidence in repeating the feat tomorrow.
