FINAL CANDIDATES FOR BEST PLAYER AND BEST GOAL IN DIGIC...  
After a sensational Digicel Caribbean Cup tournament, the largest the region has ever seen with the most games, most goals, highest prize money and largest ever audience figures, the nomination for the tournament’s greatest goal and greatest player are now in. Journalists and fans alike from around the Caribbean have been asked to submit their top preference for each from the following lists. The candidates for goal of the tournament are 1. Kendal Velox – SVG v Jamaica – 29 September 2006, Group D Jamaica - Velox picks ball up on half-way line, and runs 30 yards before putting a 25 yard bullet in to the top corner stunned Jamaica and the cameramen who almost missed it 2. Girdon Connor – Anguilla v Barbados – 24 September 2006, Group B Antigua - A 20 yard strike in the top corner as he fell to the floor. The one bright spot in a 7-1 defeat 3. Gael Germany – Martinique v Barbados – 17 January 2007, Group Sedley Joseph, Trinidad -A breakaway from a Barbados corner, featuring a stepover from Johan Clementia, a lay-off from Jose Goron and a crisp low strike across the keeper from Germany from just outside the box. 4. Jean-Luc Lambourde – Guadeloupe v St Martin – 20 September 2006, Group F Guadeloupe - Great 30 yard strike to win game. 5. Shandel Samuel – SVG v St Lucia – 1 October 2006, Group D Jamaica - Samuel picks ball up 15 yards in own half, skins defender, runs all the way to opposition penalty box before lashing home his 3rd goal of the night in to the top corner from 12yds. Would have beaten an English Premiership keeper. 6. Nigel Daniel – T&T v Haiti – 23 January 2007, Digicel Caribbean Cup Final, Trinidad - Daniel hits an unstoppable free kick when all seemed lost for the soca warriors in the DCC Final in front of 18,000 ecstatic fans. The candidates for the most valuable player of the tournament have been shortlisted to six, and they are; 1. Nigel Codrington of Guyana – With 11 goals to his name Codrington ended the campaign as the highest scorer in the tournament and although his Guyana failed to make it through to the final 4, Codrington was a major part of their 100% record in Guyana’s qualifying rounds. 2. Jenier Marquez Molina of Cuba – Boasting the second most number of clean sheets in the entire tournament, the Cuban captain showed why the number 1 ranked CFU side were one of the pre tournament favorites as he led his side superbly to third place. 3. Gary Glasgow of T&T – Although the Soca Warriors did not participate in the qualifying rounds, the veteran Glasgow showed true international class by claiming the Digicel Caribbean Cup Golden Boot Award for the finals tournament. With 6 goals to his name in 5 games, Glasgow showed he’s a major threat to any defense. 4. Jocelyn Angloma of Guadeloupe – With very little introduction required, the former French International showed true class whether coming on from the bench or starting in a midfield role for the French West Indies. He single handedly won at least two games for Guadeloupe and was one of the major factors that ensured they reached their first ever CONCACAF Gold Cup qualification. 5. Richard Brundy of Haiti – Captain Fantastic. After taking the longest route possible, Haiti showed true champions form in the final of the Digicel Caribbean Cup and no one epitomized that more than the towering Haitian centre half Brundy. 6. Melvin Andrews of St Vincent and the Grenadines –The surprise package of the Digicel Caribbean Cup, SVG managed to knock out the holders Jamaica in the first round and brought defeat to the previously unbeaten and much fancied Guyana. The heroic displays of goalkeeper Andrews was the single biggest reason for this and he fully merits his candidacy for the top player of the tournament. Digicel has afforded everyone the opportunity to vote for their preferred choices from the above listing by simply logging onto digicelfootball.com and registering their vote. Entries will close on Sunday February 11 and the winners will be announced on Monday February 12.
