Ma Pau Pro League out­fit will play its fi­nal warm-up match against the Na­tion­al Un­der-23 Olympic squad this af­ter­noon at the Lar­ry Gomes Sta­di­um, Ari­ma from 4 pm. Ma Pau de­feat­ed Clint Mar­celle Foot­ball Acad­e­my 7-nil at St An­tho­ny's Schools' Ground in West­moor­ings, on Sat­ur­day as the team brings the cur­tain down on its prepa­ra­tions for the 2010 Dig­i­cel Pro League which kicks-off on Fri­day.

How­ev­er, to­day's en­counter will be the fi­nal op­por­tu­ni­ty for play­ers on the 21-man squad to vie for first team se­lec­tion. It will al­so give Ma Pau coach­ing staff which com­prise for­mer na­tion­al play­ers Michal Mc­Comie and An­gus Eve, a clear in­di­ca­tion of which play­ers are com­fort­able with in the team's sys­tem and tac­tics. The coach­ing staff would al­so be hop­ing that Sat­ur­day's goal-scor­ers Lester Pelti­er, Trevin Cae­sar, who notched a dou­ble, C. Thomas, Seon Pow­ers, Shan­dell Samuel and Aquil Sel­by, will all con­tin­ue to find the net.

Ma Pau's aim this sea­son is to get its hands on some of the ti­tles that will be at stake among the 11 teams in the league. So far, the coach­ing saff seems im­pressed with its new sign­ings which in­cludes Pelti­er, El­ton John, De­von Jamer­son, Joel Rus­sell, Pow­ers, the ex­pe­ri­ence duo of de­fend­ers Keyeno Thomas and Cyd Gray and Shane Calderon. How­ev­er, Ma Pau's op­po­si­tion to­day will be much stronger and bet­ter or­gan­ised in de­fence and in at­tack with the likes of Lanky de­fend­er Daniel Cyrus, who scored when the Un­der-23 Olympic squad held Grena­da se­nior team to a 1-1 draw in a friend­ly en­counter at the Na­tion­al Sta­di­um, St Georges, Grena­da last month.
