According to a Nation Newspaper report The Barbados Netball Association has selected the following persons to represent Barbados in the three match test series in South Africa:
Laurel Browne, Lisa Puckerin, Nikita Piggott, Kizzy Marville, Sabrina Smith, Shekira Boxill, Dionne Quarless, Natalie Miller, Lydia Bishop, Sherry Martindale, Shakira Springer, Janelle Sealy, Harriet Waithe (senior coach), Sandra Bruce-Small (assistant coach), Sonia Moore (manager) and Andrew Simpson (primary care/physiotherapist)
Not a lot to say about this group as I believe the BNA is in the process of trying to put together a group of about 15-17 players to draw from with respect to senior selection over the next two to three years leading up to the world tournament in 2011.
Shakira Boxhill and Shakira Springer, will be making their debut at senior level, having been part of the successful Barbados Under 16 team in 2005. Natalie Miller would have been invited to trials before, but was in a position to accept this time and she too will be making her debut.
Good luck girls and remember that a victory of any sort over South AFrica will do wonders to getting the Barbados world ranking back up to or surpassing 7th in the world. The July rankings show Barbados moving up two places from 2007 from 13th to 11th.
