Yallop Comments After Clinching Carolina Cup

Frank Yallop had the following comments after the win today versus the Charleston Battery, "It's nice to win the tournament, but at the same time we realize it's just the preseason," Yallop said. "We wanted to come out here and play well. It was very encouraging to win it. I thought our guys showed a lot of spirit not only tonight, but Saturday night against Toronto. "But we have to put it into perspective. Not everyone was here for all the teams and there was really nothing at stake. But for us this was a great chance to build team chemistry and put in the foundation that we can win." "The conditions were pretty bad, but I thought we were able to do some good things under poor conditions," Yallop said. "The conditions certainly made it tough for both teams." "From day one I thought we would be organized and difficult to break down," Yallop said. "When we do the right things in the back we're going to be a hard team to play against." Ramiro Corrales had a goal and an assist in the match. "Ramiro is a really good footballer," Yallop said. "He's done very well for us in the middle of the field." Kei Kamara's goal in the 70th minute locked up the win. "Kei is a really good young player," Yallop said. "He's still learning the game. He has all the attributes to play really well at this level. We just have to make sure we bring him along correctly and make sure we're not putting too much pressure on him."
