2. Malvern Rogers-KFC Trinity F.C
3. Ian Clarke- Conaree Fireballs F.C
4. Delroy Jeffers-Trafalgar South stars F.C

The coaches expressed their pleasure in being selected for the course and lauded President Jenkins for his leadership and foresight in promoting youth football in the Federation. Meanwhile President Jenkins indicated his desire to further the grassroots development of the game by sending off more coaches for training. Mr. Jenkins also mentioned the successes of the Association as he noted that F.A was advised that Gerard “Molongo” Williams is going off for trials in the MLS, another clear indication that the developing programme is working. This comes on the heels of the announcement that Malavi Harris of BHS F.C will be going to England on trials.
