It’s cold in Andorra but the Sugar Boyz are gradually getting acclimatized to the conditions in this European country ahead of their international friendly against the host nation on Friday March 25th. Coach Austin Huggins, speaking from Andorra, said they had their first training session on Tuesday. “Oh my God; it’s freezing,” Huggins said chuckling. “But things are going very well. The guys are in good spirits. We went out training today and the guys are in a very positive frame of mind, looking forward to this very important friendly.”
Coach Huggins expects that the players will be fully acclimatized by Friday. “I think the climate may affect their performance but today we had to reinforce that it is important for them to be strong-minded and the importance of being mentally tough. Today was a test and they did fairly good, so hopefully by Friday we take the bull by the horn.” Team manager Jamir Claxton confirmed all had gone well administratively: “From travel to arriving in Andorra and settling in our accommodation — top class; the players are comfortable; the food has been good. The Andorran Association has helped us a lot so everything is going great.” The match between St. Kitts and Nevis and Andorra will be streamed live on the SKNFA Facebook page at 3:45pm Eastern Caribbean time.
