It will be an up­hill task to con­tain St Bene­dict's at­tack­ers Tarik Lee, Der­rell Gar­cia and Nicholas Bob­combe, among oth­ers when the quar­ter­fi­nal round of the Co­ca-Co­la Na­tion­al In­ter­col con­tin­ues at Fa­ti­ma Col­lege ground be­tween St Bene­dict's Col­lege and Ch­agua­nas North Sec­ondary from 3.30 pm, on Wednes­day.

Ch­agua­nas North coach An­son Ray­mond said he will have to make ad­just­ments as the game goes on, but the chal­lenge of fac­ing St Bene­dict's, one of the bet­ter teams in this year's edi­tion of the Tiger Tanks Sec­ondary Schools Foot­ball League, is one that he em­braces, as some­one who loves chal­lenges.

The match was ini­tial­ly card­ed for Mon­day at the Ato Boldon Sta­di­um in Bal­main, Cou­va but the weath­er con­di­tions forced or­gan­is­ers to resched­ule the match to the Mu­cu­rapo Road venue, some dis­tance from where both St Bene­dict's and Ch­agua­nas North re­side.

Ray­mond said yes­ter­day that he al­so chal­lenged the venue for the match but could not in­flu­ence a change.

With all set for a clash be­tween the teams, Ray­mond said he will be very cau­tious in their ap­proach, with a hope that his at­tack­ers con­vert their chances when they come this af­ter­noon.

"I have been work­ing on fin­ish­ing be­cause that is the area I think we need to be sharp in. We have al­so been work­ing on the play­ers mak­ing the right de­ci­sions dur­ing the match, know­ing when they should pass or shoot, or drib­ble the ball. All these things will be crit­i­cal for us to win to­day.

"There is no doubt that we will have to keep our eyes on their at­tack­ing force, Lee and Gar­cia and oth­ers," Ray­mond said.

St Bene­dict's Col­lege has not lost a sin­gle match all sea­son and has al­ready won the Pre­mier Di­vi­sion League, fol­low­ing a con­vinc­ing 3-1 tri­umph over Fa­ti­ma Col­lege in the fi­nal last month.

St Bene­dict's coach Ran­dolph Boyce said he will al­so be cau­tious in their ap­proach, as they are aware of the strengths of the Ch­agua­nas team.

"I have looked at Ch­agua­nas North play and I can tell you they are fast to the ball and they are good at one-on-one sit­u­a­tions. They are al­so sol­id in the back as they de­fend with sev­en play­ers but we will be ready," Boyce said.

"I re­alised that all those teams change their ap­proach and strat­e­gy when they're com­ing up against us, so I know we will have to be ready to make the nec­es­sary changes al­so when we see what we will have to do, so we will be ready.

"I can tell you that if all the teams change their strat­e­gy for match­es, it will be a plus for T&T foot­ball be­cause it will tell you that coach­es are think­ing and the play­ers will have to learn to ad­just, which is es­sen­tial­ly how the game is played in­ter­na­tion­al­ly, so it will be good for T&T foot­ball," Boyce said.
