NIMBLE GOAL POACHER centre forward Keith Aqui will be included in the Bisons Soccer squad from Howard University which will arrive at the Palisadoes International Airport tomorrow (New Year's Eve, December 31.)
Main objective of the visit is to seek schoolboy players to be included in the University's soccer team.
The man who will be scrutinising the performances of local schoolboys with a view to including some on the team will be team-scout Ethiopian Sala Yousif.
The Bisons boast an impressive record in the current National Collegiate competition. Having earned 13 wins in as many starts — scoring 82 goals and conceding only seven.
