What a scare!!

I can remember where I was when I was told that the 2009 U-21 team will be the BEST ever to represent Barbados. I can remember who said it as well. That was almost five months ago and I am still waiting on that prophesy to be fulfilled.

Yes the U-21 squad won their knock-out game against Spooners Hill, but was it a case where they won by outplaying or was it because of the lack of fitness and the tired AGED legs of the players from SHNC??

Remarkably Spooners Hill led the BEST U-21 squad by five at the half-time.Should that be? Even more remarkable was the fact defensively the GK was not playing at her best but made the shooters uncomfortable.Hmmmmmmmmm!.

Anyone who knows anything about netball in Barbados will know that Lydia"Lebron"Bishop is a power-house in the shooting circle and it was extremely difficult to single or double mark her by any of the four defenses used.Hmmmmmmmmmm!.

With the final score being 65-54 in favour of the U-21 squad, again I ask this question. Are we ready because of the win? Should Spooners Hill have scored that many goals? My honest answer is NO to both.

With less than four months before the WYC, it is unheard of that ANY national squad should be challenged in ANY way by ANY club on ANY level!!
