PEEEEEPPP !!!!!!

Less than two months into the 2013 domestic netball season, the Cane Garden based Spooners Hill Netball Club is being treated with scant disrespect by the white clad whistle blowers who are masquerading as umpires.

Going back to the inaugural Fast5 competition where it started,umpires made it known that they weren't going to umpire any games "wid Spooners Hill". SO WHAT?

Throughout the Knockout phase of the 2013 season the 'trend' continued and we were forced to compete when we did  against what seemed like negative vibes all the time. Thankfully that was used in a positive way by the girls in Orange,Black and White. CONGRATS !!!!

 When the lone IUA categorically stated that if the Head Coach didn't apologize FOR HIS OWN OPINION , we knew we were gonna get SHAFTED as was hinted by her! Several of the Advanced level umpires and maybe more decided that they were going to pull a coup and word spread that none or most of the BANU umpires were willing to officiate games with the SHNC. SO WHAT?

Is ignorance bliss? YUP! Is commonsense common? HELL NO!!!

The trojans who have made this decision has not and will not affect how the SHNC competes! What they have done is proven to the netballing fraternity that they are a group of gutless, guileless,heartless,selfish load of lavatory matter.

It would be remiss not to praise the effort of a the two umpires who officiated the Knockout finals. Granted we will never have perfect umpiring, but praise must be given to Mrs Veronica Harris and Sheriol Fagan for a great job in being fair and allowing the teams to decide the winner of the game. WELL DONE !!

No MANNERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is an old Bajan saying,"SPEECH BELONG TO GOD". There is also  "MANNERS MAKETH MAN". With that being said, maybe it's time that the head of our most expensive national unit at this time be taught a lesson in manners and given a crash course in public interaction.

Understandably it's not the BNA's responsibility to get a fur coat from a pig or horse hair from a jackass but it's their responsibility to make sure that their  representatives be cordial whether they want to or not.

It makes no sense when persons identified as 'faces' of the Association are seen in a negative light simply because they wish to or they have a personal vendetta against a club or a member of that  club.

In case you are wondering what's going on...the individual chosen to lead Barbados in Scotland 2013 should be the first recipient of the MANNERS for WOMEN AWARD or given a Certificate of Participation for the  Failure to Achieve Course 2013.
