A bit more excitement in the camp today with a couple more guys joining us and one member leaving us. I will start with Tyrone Marshall who left us today to join the new expansion team in Seattle. Tyrone was with us in Florida until sunday evening when he left to join up with the Jamaican squad in London. No one in the squad knew he was going and i do not even know whether he knew. Tyrone was a good member of the squad who got on with everyone, so we wish him all the best and will see him again soon on our first home game of the season. The arrival of two new faces to the camp cheered up the guys as well, firstly its great to see O’Brien White join up with the squad at last. He’s got a great big smile on him and when he gets fit we hope he can carry on his college form into the MLS for us which will be a big bonus. Then Pablo Vitti joined us later in the afternoon after our game with Chicago. Pablo is a young guy coming with alot of promise, so we are very excited to have him and cant wait to see what he can add to our attacking options. We do have a couple more youngsters from Gambia who are training with us. Now these guys are 16 & 17 , but have the physique’s of grown men! I do not know who scouted these kids, but they look very promising.

*GAME 2* TORONTO FC  Vs CHICAGO

Team; Sutton, Kenton, Velez ,Harmse , Brennan , Ricketts , Robinson, Cronin, Smith , DeRosario, Barrett        First 90 minute game against MLS competition this year. Chicago had quite a few guys missing from their starting line-up that you would see normally. They have been back training for 3-4 weeks now so the boys put in a good shift and you could not really tell the difference in fitness. They scored the only goal of the game with a direct free kick in the top corner from the lively winger Banner. Another good workout for the lads as we continue to build our fitness for the start of the season.
