Treat for Under-17 footballers

Members of the Barbados Football Association Under-17 national team were treated to a recovery session usually reserved for international players earlier today.

Their scheduled trip to the Boca Juniors Stadium to participate in and watch the annual football match for the Day of the Fan was cancelled as a result of security concerns, ahead of tomorrow’s match against their fellow Under-17 compatriots.

As a result their coaches and Boca Junior coaches decided to give some much needed “R and R”, and invited them to use the facilities reserved for the Argentine Boca Juniors first team (national team).

The young Bajan Tridents were able to enjoy the use of the pool, sauna and a cold jacuzzi, before finishing up the evening with a foot volley outside their accommodations. (RA)
