BARBADOS LOST THE DECIDER TO JAMAICA 54-19


Well Barbados Under 16 team did not produce the type of game necessary to stop the tall Jamaican goal shooter (6ft 9 ins) and so lost the all important encounter disappointingly...54-19.

It must be admitted that there was little that the Barbados defence could do on a one of one situation with the JA goal shooter. But the question must be asked what contributed to so many of Barbados's centre passes being stolen, and what was the difficulty in the attack getting the ball to the Barbadian goal circle as we only had 29 attempts. Is it the same old same old again. i.e.....
Barbadian players were at a decided height disadvantage in all parts of the court. Is there nothing that can be done to nullify what is a height disadvantage?
Just a note on the Jamaican goal shooter...She was introduced to the sport three months before last year's Under 16 tournament, having not played the game before. Her motor skills, passing ability, and general netball skills leave a lot to be desired. Yet she is able to cause her team to win!!!!!!!!
READ WHAT PAM PROVERBS HAD TO SAY..SHE IS THERE OFFICATING AS AN UMPIRE ...Post immediately above this one
