49 to 60

For the first time since 2004 a senior netball team from Barbados has defeated the Calypso Girls ( Trinidad and Tobago).

Knowing that a win would guarantee us seventh (7th) position and the highest placing ever at a Commonwealth Games, the Flying Fish Girls played as though they were swimming from a fisherman in Six Men's ( coach's hometown).

Team Barbados showed determination, stamina and sheer guts when trailing by more than eight goals, they systematically reeled in a floundering and quickly panicking Team Trinidad who incidentally scored the exact number of goals as in St Lucia (59).

Not only was this sweet revenge for the recent loss to the same team at the 2010 AFNA qualifiers but it immediately silenced the many grudgeful minded ( and they were many), perpetrators who falsely advertise themselves as netball coaches daily.

The starting seven was Lydia Bishop ( GS), Nikita Piggott( GA) , Sabreena Smith (WA), Samantha Browne (C), Kizzy Marville ( WD) , Latonia Blackman ( GD) and Lisa Puckerin (GK) with Laurel Browne and Faye Sealy as reserves in the latter stages of the game.

Remember this people. 11-10-10 and 60-59.

If no one understands the above it was on 11th October 2010 when Barbados finally defeated T&T after 6 years of trying with a scoreline of 60 goals versus 59.

WELL DONE GIRLS !!
