Cana­di­an-based strik­er Don­ni­ka Mur­ray, who has been in T&T train­ing with the team, al­so miss­es as her pa­per­work has not been fi­nalised.De Four not­ed he was elat­ed to once again have the ser­vices of Sim­mons and Hinds who he ex­pect­ed to com­bine well with Walk­er, Kha­didra Debe­sette and Zoe Swift to lead the po­tent at­tack which has net­ted 46 times in four match­es.Walk­er has so far net­ted ten times in four match­es while Kha­didra has 15 and Zoe Swift, six.Fol­low­ing yes­ter­day's day off, the So­ca Princess­es re­turn to train­ing to­day at the Uni­ver­si­ty of West In­dies Ground, St Au­gus­tine, from 5 pm.To­mor­row, the team will have two ses­sions, the first from 6.30 am at the Hase­ly Craw­ford Sta­di­um, Mu­cu­rapo and the oth­er, from 3 pm at UWI, St Au­gus­tine while the team al­so trains on Sun­day, again from 6.30 am be­fore leav­ing at mid-day for Ja­maica.
