KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent– Jamaica, on the back of another sparkling
performance by inspirational captain Simone Forbes, ran away with the
Americas Federation of Netball Association’s title with a comfortable
53-32 victory over Trinidad & Tobago last Friday.
The Sunshine Girls were comfortable winners in what was expected to be
a close encounter, but never materialized in front of an appreciative
crowd as the Jamaicans led all quarters, 18-7 after the first period,
28-16 at halftime, and 42-25 after three periods.
“We set ourselves the goal of beating all the teams by at least 20
goals so as not to become complacent – we wanted to be convincing
winners since we are ranked in the top three in the World,” Forbes in
her debut appearance as captain told the CMC Sportswire.
