The Dominica National Under 16 Netball team returns undefeated following robbery upon arrival in Castries, Saint Lucia. In the Under 16

In an evening match-up, the Saint Lucian National Under 16 Netball team came seeking vengeance, endeavoring to make amends for their 20 point loss on Saturday evening. However, the Lucians truculent start did not deter the puerile team of Dominica who culminated with an 8 point victory having been behind my 3 goals at half-time. For team Dominica, Celena Langlais shot 31 from 39 attempts and Kayla Telemaque 11 from 16. Quarter scores: 11-10, 18-21, 31-26, and 42-34.

In their 5th and final match of the tri-series held at the Vigie Sports Complex, Team Dominica was yet again victorious with a 10 point victory over Saint Lucia having led throughout. Shooting for Dominica, Celena Langlais was 29 from 34 attempts and Kayla Telemaque 9 from 12.

The team is scheduled to return to the Nature Island on Thursday morning having won all five matches of the series.

    Cheers, putting the extraneous–even a recent armed robbery–out of mind and concentrating on the task at hand is the mark of great athletes.
