Most of the regulars started on the bench with Jan Michael Williams, Jason Scotland, Andre Toussaint, Keon Daniel, Clyde Leon, Makan Hislop and new call up Julius James in the first eleven. Dwight Yorke was among those on the bench but he never got a taste of the action. Daniel rejoined the team yesterday after a short trial with West Ham United during which he trained with the first team for  three days. Khaleem Hyland was also in England at the same time on contract-related business.

Guyana were without prolific Joe Public striker Gregory Richardson who arrived in the afternoon after Joe Public’s thumping of New England Revolution and was not up for an invitation to enter the game after half time.

Scotland had T&T's first chance in the 27th minute, but under pressure from defender Walter Moore, hit straight at keeper Ronson Williams from close up. Moments later, Caledonia AIA wide man Gyasi Joyce also put the ball wide from a short distance away. But despite territorial possession, T&T did not manage a menacing shot on goal in the first half.

Edwards put T&T ahead when a tame looking effort took a  deflection off defender Moore on its way past Guyana goalie Ronson Williams..

Glen got T&T's second goal two minutes later, collecting  Leon's straight pass behind the defenders and striking hitting a firm low shot home

Edwards then enjoyed a trademark surge into the box before being bundled over but referee  Neil Brizan was having none of it and cautioned the Sunderland midfielder.

T&T were hardly ever pressured at the back and goalie Jan Michael Williams was a mere spectator for much of the ninety.

Then when Glen was toppled in the penalty box, Lawrence calmly converted the spot kick.

In the second game of the double header, T&T's Under 20s put on a fairly good showing in a 0-0 with El Salvador. (Sept 4,2008)
