JAMAICA LOST FIRST TEST MATCH
The sunshine girls lost the first test match to England after an extremely slow start resulting in England having a commanding 21-9 lead at the end of the first quarter.
The Jamaicans found their feet in portions of the game but would want to start a lot more positively in the second game.
Quarter Scores:
Q1: 21-9
Q2: 38-19
Q3: 52-35
Q4: 67-54
A comprehensive report later!!!

Netball to try short game format - Breaking News - Sport - Breaking News
Yeah Yeah,....But please let us do something at the same time with the number of times the umpires whistle is blown.
Do some thing innovative with the obstruction rule..like not playing it outside the goal circle..but leave the contact rule.
We in netball don't need the power play as it does not add to the game if a team is leading by far.
Some spot outside the circle should be marked at the power spot and anytime a goal is scored from there it is worth two.
Lets really go for it..

Well..Well.... The more things change, the more things remain the same. Was that second test victory by England a flash in the pan...What's the explanation for moving from playing so well to playing so bad in the space of 24 hours.
Its a difficult pill to swallow..As the article says..England are rated third in the world and the second rated team has defeated them by over 40 goals...it really does not give the countries rated 5-10 any encouragement.
Lets see what happens when Barbados (11) plays South AFrica(9) and when Jamaica (4) plays South AFrica(11)
Maybe these upcoming test matches will show netball in a greater light on the world stage.

EVery little bit helps. Liz Broomehead has always wanted to assist in the development of netball throughout the world. Its a good job that she is helping some of the countries on the AFrican continent, as this can only redound to the benefit of netball world wide
