T&T's Un­der 20 Men's team will get close to an ad­di­tion­al two weeks to pre­pare of the open­ing leg of the Caribbean Foot­ball Union Un­der-20 World Cup qual­i­fy­ing se­ries in St Vin­cent and the Grenadines in just un­der a month's time. Ini­tial­ly T&T were slat­ed to play their open­ing game on Ju­ly 23 in St Vin­cent but the CFU lat­er ad­vised that due to sev­er­al un­fore­seen cir­cum­stances, the CFU Sec­re­tari­at up­on the re­quest of the host coun­try has agreed to change the group match­es sched­ule to Au­gust 6-13. The win­ner of the four pre­lim­i­nary groups and the best sec­ond placed team will ad­vance to the fi­nal CFU round in Ja­maica from No­vem­ber 3-11.

The Con­ca­caf fi­nal round takes place in Puebla, Mex­i­co from Feb­ru­ary 18 to March 2, 2013. The Caribbean will have five berths in the fi­nal 12-na­tion round from which four will qual­i­fy for the FI­FA Un­der-20 World Cup in Turkey. Mex­i­co, Cana­da and USA are au­to­mat­ic qual­i­fiers to the Con­ca­caf fi­nal round. T&T head coach Michael Mc­Comie is cur­rent­ly prepar­ing a lo­cal squad and be­lieves his troops will be ready to grab one of the avail­able qual­i­fy­ing spots in the Caribbean. "Ide­al­ly we would like to go in­to the tour­na­ment ful­ly ready for the com­pe­ti­tion and though it ap­pears to be ex­tra time for us, it will not af­fect our pro­gramme as we are still go­ing full stride ahead with our pro­gramme," Mc­Comie said. "As far as we were con­cerned we were prepar­ing for our first game in ear­ly Ju­ly and our play­ers will re­main fo­cused on that tar­get which is to have our­selves ready for in­ter­na­tion­al com­pe­ti­tion."

Despite finding out just three days earlier—on December 23—that I had breast cancer, I still got dressed and showed up on December 26, Boxing Day, for a birthday party. I didn’t go to escape the truth. I went to remind myself I was still here, still living, still me.
