In a historic match in Gibraltar, the Senior Men\u2019s National Team drew nil-nil in\u00a0 their first international friendly for 2022 at Victoria Stadium. It was the first time for Grenada\u00a0 travelling out of state and the Concacaf region to play international friendlies.<\/p>\n
Though missing a few chances to find the net, Team Grenada commanded much of the match and Goalkeeper Reice Charles Cook, worked hard to produce some solid saves.<\/p>\n
Speaking after the nil-nil result, Head Coach of the Senior Men\u2019s National Team Micheal Findlay said, \u201cThough dissapointed we did not get the win, we\u2019re pleased to provide the experience for\u00a0 our program as all aspects will benefit us long term. It was encouraging that we did not give up\u00a0 anything at the end which shows our fighting spirit\u2026it\u2019s all part of our process and now we look\u00a0 towards Andorra and the challenge they present.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tyrone Sterling served as team captain and he said, \u201cWe were disappointed as a group not to win\u00a0 as we had chances to do so but we are pleased we did not concede and limited their\u00a0 opportunities. We can now look forward to building on this as we face Andorra.\u201d<\/p>\n
President of the Grenada Football Association (GFA) Cheney Joseph congratulated the team and\u00a0 staff on their performance against Gibraltar citing that, \u201c the first engagement in Europe was a\u00a0 test of where we are as a footballing nation against teams playing in a more structured league.\u201d<\/p>\n
He further stated, \u201cWe look forward to a more positive result on Monday against Andorra. We\u00a0 wish to urge our local players to work hard on making the transition as we do intend to seek even\u00a0 more matches to provide those much needed opportunities for them.\u201d<\/p>\n
