Winning 3-0 each in two matches is
something that places Karn United among the best teams in the ongoing
National League. But, winning two matches from a total of 26 matches
at hand is not enough reasons why Mr. Samuel Karn thinks his players
should be conquered by complacency.
Speaking to our reporter after his team
ended its training session on Tuesday at the former Barclay Training
Center (BTC), the Karn United patron, Samuel Karn said, "our chances
are bright."
He put the team's good performance on the availability
of some players who have had experience in both first and second
divisions.
Mr. Karn noted that his team will take its next matches
seriously because, according to him, there are 24 more matches at hand
for the Karn United.
"We will not feel complacent," said Mr. Karn whose club is witnessing
its second successive year in the second division.
Addressing his players on the same day, Mr. Karn urged them to play to
the best of their ability so as to ensure the team's qualification to
the first division.
"Play for yourself because people or national coaches are watching,"
added Mr. Karn.
"You can better improve yourself and be a good ambassador," Mr. Karn
told the players.
The Karn United have become the talk of the 2003 National League
following a brilliant performance so far.
On Saturday, April 19, Karn United shocked Logan Town based Small Town
International 3-0 at the Antoinette Tubman Stadium (ATS) in its first
game.
While many perceived that the victory came by chance, Karn United
grabbed another Logan Town based side Devereux and walked away with
similar 3-0 victory.
On May 10, Karn United plays its next match against Sounjata Warriors
which also emerged from the Logan Town third division league.
Mr. Karn has told his boys to take the match with Sounjata Warriors
very serious obviously because the latter, despite being a division
two new comer, plays good soccer.
Sounjata Warriors won its first match 5-0 when it played Gardnersville
club Haja FC on April 17.
Ten days later, Sounjata handed LTC Satellites a 1-0 defeat.
The two results mean both Sounjata Warriors and Karn United are tied
on six points and six goals each respectively.
