Jamaica downs Cayman for third straight win

World-Youth-Netball-Championships-20131From The Gleaner

GLASGOW, Scotland, (CMC): Jamaica achieved a third win in a row, defeating the Cayman Islands 98-2 on the fourth day of the World Youth Netball Championships yesterday.

It was all systems go for Jamaica. From the first whistle they had total control over the game and were never once threatened by the youngsters from the Caymans.

Good momentum through the court allowed them to build up their scoring tally and prevented the Cayman Islands from scoring a single goal in the second half.

Yet Head Coach, Oberon Pitterson-Nattie, thinks they’ve still got a way to go if they want to seriously contend.

The Cayman Islands played one of their best games yet, but it wasn’t enough to compete with the mighty Jamaicans.

“It’s a totally different league” said Head Coach Gillian Lee “But I was pleased with the girls that they went as hard as they possibly could.”

“Our next two games are really quite key for us. We’re trying to get some serious goals on the board for those ones and get a win.”
