WESTERN BUREAU: JAMAICA will continue their warm-up for international fixtures against Cuba, the United States and Costa Rica when they take on a Westmoreland Invitational XI in a friendly game at Frome Sports Club, starting at 3:30 p.m. this afternoon. The national team, which is preparing for a friendly international against Caribbean neighbours Cuba on Sunday, is expected to be bolstered by the inclusion of a number of England-based players including Ricardo Gardner of newly promoted English Premier League team Bolton Wanderers, along with recalled Walter Boyd and Theodore Whitmore. Jamaica will also play back-to-back World Cup qualifying games against the United States at the National Stadium on June 16 and away to Costa Rica on June 20. Today's game will also help to raise funds for the children of the late Ida Golaub who was killed in February when she stepped into the path of a motor vehicle driven by national goalkeeper Aaron Lawrence. In addition to Lawrence, the other national players should be goalkeepers Donovan Ricketts, Leon Gordon and Sean Sawyers. The others players in camp are Daniel Shaw, captain Linval Dixon, Claude Davis, Marco McDonald, Robert Scarlett, Patrick Graham, Fabian Taylor, Kirk Wright, Damion Stewart, Kirk Hendricks, Gerald Neil, Mark Williams, Shawn Simpson, Ricardo Fuller, Ray Graham, Omar Daley, Garfield Edmondson and Boyd.
