BARBADOS goal shooter Shonica Wharton scored an impressive 47 goals from 50 attempts against Newbury Stars on Monday night at the Netball Stadium to carry former queens Signia Globe UWI Blackbirds into tonight’s semi-finals of the Barbados Netball Association’s senior knockout.
There was little doubt that UWI would have rolled over the former Division 1 team as the Blackbirds seemed on a mission to recover one of the crowns which they last won in 2017.
They have yet to lose a title in battle as they did not take part in the 2018 season to defend either the league or knockout crown.
Except for a brief period in the first quarter where Newbury got within one goal (9-10) or in the third quarter where generous substitutions by UWI allowed the Stars to outscore them 14-11, Newbury never looked capable of blocking the flight of the Blackbirds. (KB)
