DOUBLE CROWN queens UWI Blackbirds ‘A’ ended the netball league season in the same manner in which they started, but the same cannot be said for early runners Guardian General Pride of Villa.
While Blackbirds ‘A’ finished with an unbeaten record for 2016, scoring a maximum 50 points from a 10/0 performance, Villa fell from a dream start of upsets over former queens C.O. Williams Rangers and Pine Hill Dairy St Barnabas to end with a 5/5 record and 30 points.
On Wednesday night, Blackbirds clinically dismantled Villa 54-45, with Shonica Wharton battling back pains but still scoring 44 goals from 50 attempts. Rieah Holder played with the enthusiasm of a season’s first match to add ten of 14 for Blackbirds.
The Blackman sisters once again starred for Villa with Latonia and Nadia going 17/18 and 15/25, respectively, while Faye Sealy later moved from goalkeeper to contribute 13/15. (KB)
