And they said it couldn't be done!

For the first time in a long time ( if ever) Barbados has beaten a country ranked higher than them globally when the Alwyn Babb coached Team Barbados defeated world #10 Cook Islands at the Commonwealth Games in India today with a score of 60-46.

Knowing that a victory was needed, Babb started with what might be the strongest possible seven in a team filled with possibility and played that seven for the entire game.

The starting seven were :

Lydia Bishop - GS
Nikita Piggott - GA
Sabreena Smith - WA
Samantha Browne C
Kizzy Marville - WD
Latonia Blackman - GD
Lisa Puckerin - GK

Goal Shooter Lydia Bishop was almost flawless scoring 48 goals from 49 attempts at an outstanding average of 98 % while goal attack Nikita Piggott converted 12 goals of her 18 attempts for an average of 67%.

Lydia Bishop - 48/49 = 98%
Nikita Piggott - 12/18 = 67%
Team average = 90%

CONGRATS girls!!
