After putting the players through some technical drills Percival also commented on how impressed he was with the standard “I can assure you that with constant training and support I can see some very good players emerging to represent the Virgin Islands at some level. I must give mention to the coaches and Darren, in particular, for the tremendous work he’s doing to help develop the talent there.”

Technical Director, Neville “It was great to visit Jost Van Dyke today and see firsthand the excellent work Darren Jones is doing for young players on the island”
