BARBADOS NETBALLER Rashida Chase has been given ahead of her senior debut in next week’s three-test series against Jamaica in Kingston.
On Friday Chase, who is also looking to maintain her spot on the Under-21 team that will take part in the Youth World Cup in Botswana in July, was given some financial support by Barbados Labour Party Christ Church South candidate Ralph Thorne at Durham Shop in Upper Carters Gap.
With family and constituency members in attendance, Thorne advised Chase to remember that from the time that she stepped on the plane to leave the island until she returned she would be representing her family, constituency and country with pride.
While not disclosing the amount of money that he was giving to Chase, Thorne said the assistance would continue once the midcourt player maintained her place on the senior team for engagements against Trinidad and Tobago and Northern Island. (KB)
