BARBADOS’ UNDER-21 NETBALLERS could be in a fight to the death in the Netball World Youth Cup which will be staged next year in Gaborone, Botswana.
The announced pools show the Bajan Gems being placed among powerhouses Australia, who are the 2013 runners-up, and South Africa, where placing first or second will be critical to advancing to the final eight. The other teams in that Pool B are Zimbabwe and Singapore.
