UWI SIGNIA BLACKBIRDS are singing their usual song after defeating Pine Hill St Barnabas 43-35 to win Saturday’s final of the senior netball knockout competition at the Netball Stadium.
The excited Blackbirds posse were in full flow while the team that seized every senior title in 2016 captured yet another.
Though the Blackbirds managed to pull away to cement the win, St Barnabas were no pushovers, locking scores multiple times throughout until the Blackbirds plucked balls from their hands to fly away with an eight-goal win.
Leading the way to victory was goal shooter Shonica Wharton who sunk 33 goals from her 39 attempts and a determined midcourt line-up that made every opportunity count towards the end of the third quarter and into the fourth. (RG)
