Despite some truly questionable calls and a bruising altercation, Paperchase Ballers milked the nectar from a strong PHD St.Barnabas team on 01-02-09 in the Sweet-16 Out-of-season netball competition playing in the Pine,St.Michael.
Both teams had an abundance of former,present and future national players with the game being played at a rapid pace. It made some of the spectators ask if these players were also competing for places on a track team. AGAIN!
Lydia"Lebron"Bishop made all the difference for the Paperchasers with her athletic ability and good circle craft confusing the GK from St.Barnabas. As Tiffy says " Way to go Bish". Only Lydia knows what I mean.
What was amazing was when St.Barnabas GS and the GD from Paperchase got entangled AFTER an umpires' call. Granted before this entanglement the said umpire was asked if he was going to allow some measure of fighting to occur. Less than two minutes later, it almost did.
Equally amazing was that the said umpire was tossed around like he was making a TOSS UP
in a game. That was soooo funny.
Anyone who has been around netball in recent years, know that despite how many protestations and seminars, an umpire can MAKE or BREAK a team and that was evident in this game. In the end, the team that wanted the victory more won out. The umpiring on both sides of the court.............., figure it out.
