ALL facts!

The 2015 Pine Hill Dairy sponsored National Sports Council Primary Schools' netball competition has finally ended and again the blatant and obvious bias  against Blackman and Gollop or their coach reared it's UGLY face again.
It is unimaginable to think that a school can win so many awards in any competition at any level any where in the world and only be given TWO individual awards. Please see the following:

Team A
The Aileen Jeffers Memorial Tournament,
The Caronlyn Sinckler Zone 10,
The Zone 10 Team Shooting Competition
The Overall Team Shooting Competition
The Overall Championship
Record Setting Score of 38 goals in a match
Conceded less than 10 goals in the entire season
Team B
2nd in the Aileen Jeffers Memorial Tournament
The Pamala Proverbs Zone 5
The Zone 5 Team Shooting Competition
2nd In the Overall Championship
3rd Highest Score of 30 goals in a match
Conceded less than 15 goals in the entire season

The fact that the B&G teams were arguably the best in this year's competition was as a result of a dedicated and forward thinking individual who in my opinion didn't set out to highlight the POOR COACHING of the NSC coaches but to give fifteen young ladies the chance to showcase their skills at the primary level.
The fact that Hurricane Medusa and the nasty trail targeted towards Staple Grove was one even the Met Office can't explain.
The fact that the whistle blowers couldn't hide their obvious dislike for blowing their whistles when Teams B&G were playing was as obvious as their lack of coaching abilities.
The fact that commonsense isn't all that common readily applies to some people in Bleinheim.
AND finally...The fact that no one seems to know when Hurricane Medusa will slow it's GARGOYLE like UGLY demolition of netball means that Barbados as a regional netball force might be coming to an end!!!

Buckle up people...it's gonna get real UGLY!!

Really??

Why is it that with so many issues permeating the netball landscape that the head honcho of the local Federation can still find the time to make people's lives uncomfortable?

Imagine that the national issue of the Blackman and Gollop Primary School saga is still going on and as yet the head honcho hasn't said a word but yet can find the time to make someone uncomfortable?

Imagine that the national programme of the senior national team is in a state of disarray and nothing is being done about it?

Why is it that Makeba Clarke is being targeted by the VP of the BNA and now apparently his superior??

What has Makeba done that is so wrong other than be the next best umpire from Barbados?

When this young LADY sneezes too hard..a complaint! When she sings...a complaint! When she umpires the BEST so far...a NATIONAL complaint!

The mere fact that members of the Board can be satisfied with what can be seen as BULLYING of this young LADY and making attempts to provoke her is nothing less than a travesty!

Makeba has never been disrespectful, deceitful,undermining or so many more negative things but yet whenever she is around,whether as a player or an umpire...some people find their girdles in knots!

LEAVE MAKEBA ALONE!

When FIVE became ONE !!!!!!!

I am in awe of how with so many national players in their midst ( five to be precise on both teams)both THE CHURCH YARD team  and THE BLACKBIRDS WHO DON'T FLY at night are playing some of the most asinine netball in the 2015 Barbados Netball Association Division 1.

Imagine scoring 26 goals in a losing effort to the TEAM FROM SMS ( PHSB)  and  then scoring 32/33 ( UWIBB) to a team with ONE present national. The common thread here is TOO MUCH national practice!!!!!!!!!!!!

For those who have no idea..there is a common thread in both teams and what makes matters worst..there's a bigger one pulling strings behind the scene who sits in the DANGEROUS BOX nightly criticizing any umpire who dares to make a call against these two teams.

For those who care...coaching isn't about name calling or wondering why a national player ( GD) would allow another national player ( WA,GA) to out play her.

Here's the answer. Book sense isn't and can never be commonsense and some people have NONE!!

On to Kingston and the cake soap!!

Villaaaaaaaa did it!

When much is given much is expected and tonight Pride of Villa gave Pine Hill St Barnabas so much that at the end of the game, one member of St Barnabas in turn literally cursed a member of the League Committee who is also an umpire.

Who disciplines this player and how?

How many weeks,months or years before a decision is made?

The fact of the matter is simple!St Barnabas played as poor as Team Barbados versus Team Jamalco( a Jamaican club team).

With five members of the soon to be released national team and leading 17-3 at the end of the first quarter only to win 37-30???  Hmmmmm!

Anyways...the frustration of not being able to get over a hump and the sad state of their netball might've led this highly touted GOAL KEEPER to go anal on poor Karuche Pebbles.

The BNA has been informed and the wait is on!


Lashes!

What happens when a representative team is chosen to represent Barbados in netball and in said team are players who aren't remotely competitive?

What happens when the governing body of local netball allows such a team to be representatives of an entire island?

What happens when one member of the representative team was so poor in a recent game that she seemed confused as to what to do?

Why was it that a player from the insurance team was invited to national trials only to be given the boot in favour of the above player?

Another way the sport of netball has been TAKEN BACK!

Get out the bandages, smelling salts, Andrews,etc...it's gonna be a lotta lashes coming out of Kingston,

Something aint right!

Whoever said that youth is always better than experience LIED!!!

When a 52 year-old woman who would've just played a game less than one hour before could torment,out-think and out-play two starting national defenders...then we know that something is WRONG!!!!!!!!

When a former national player who hasn't played top flight netball for a few years can torment,out-think and out-play the starting national goal shooter...then we know that something is WRONG!!!!

When a player who has never made any national team at any level can wreak so much havoc and force the coach of the opposing team to make several changes...then we know that something is WRONG!!!!!

When the UWI Blackbirds which is riddled with many national trialists and had FIVE on court plus one from another Caribbean territory and can only beat Spooners Hill by a solitary goal..then we know that something is WRONG!!!!

Good job Deborah Kellman,Lisa Puckerin and Shannya Wiggins!!!!

Good job Team Spooners Hill!!!
