National Coach, Mr. Gus Logie stated, "This new look squad that exhibited a good fighting attitude and approach during our tour of Canada and the game against Scotland is now looking forward to yet another opportunity to further enhance its growing reputation as we challenge ourselves to continue maturing on the world stage. The development of our younger players and the transition of many of the U19 players into the senior national team is a heartwarming experience and I look forward to their continued improvement at the international level. In our last Intercontinental Cup game we had 8 players that were 25 or younger so the national program definitely has a silver lining."
