Tardif Announces Semi-Final Squad
Guernsey’s Senior Men’s Representative Manager, Chris Tardif, has announced his training squad ahead of the Muratti Vase semi-final against Alderney on 24th March.
For what will be his first foray into Muratti football as a Manager, Tardif has selected a strong squad, which blends experience with youth and will be looking for a better result than against in the RAF in a recent warm-up match. On selecting the squad, Tardif commented:
‘I am excited to have named my first training squad as Senior Island Representative Manager. It is my intention to select a 16 man squad from this group over the next two weeks to represent the Island against Alderney in the Muratti semi-final. This match has been my main focus since taking on my role and I am fully aware of the magnitude, complexities and difficulties of getting a positive result. Alderney are arguably as best equipped as they have ever been and I am under no illusion that the game will be a passionate, hard fought affair. This is reflected in the squad I have chosen and the respect I will give the game and opposition. However, it goes without saying that we are there to simply get a result, no matter how we do it, in order to continue to defend the Muratti Vase.’
The training squad is as follows.
Jason Martin
Leroi Riley
Tom De La Mare
Jamie Dodd
Keanu Marsh
River Marsh
Sam Cochrane
