KNOCKOUT QUEENS UWI Blackbirds ‘A’ soared one game away from a perfect first round while Pine Hill Dairy St Barnabas slipped closer to a second successive trophyless year when Division 1 netball action continued on Friday night at the Netball Stadium.
Led by a game-high 34 goals from 42 attempts by Shonica Wharton and a supporting 10/17 from the athletic Rieah Holder, the Blackbirds pecked St Barnabas 44-32.
