It wasn't easy but a win is a win.
Behind an 87% shooting average from ace shooter Lydia 'Lebron' Bishop, Team Barbados recorded a satisfactory win against 13th ranked Papua New Guinea at the Commonwealth Games .
Coach Alwyn Babb opted to start with the same seven players who had caused the only upset of the tournament so far when Barbados defeated 10th ranked Cook Islands and might've been anticipating another convincing win. Instead, the Flying Fish Girls had to dig deep to record win #2.
Similar to the recent AFNA Qualifiers in St.Lucia, goal shooter Laurel Browne was introduced into the game at goal keeper ( GK) to contain a flurry of lobs to the shooters from PNG. Damisha Croney was also given some court time replacing Samantha Browne at C in the final quarter.
Lydia Bishop - 39/45 = 87%
Nikita Piggott - 22/28 = 79%
Overall average = 84%
CONGRATS !!
