GLASGOW, Scotland (CMC) — Jamaica achieved their third win in a row, defeating the Cayman Islands 98-2 on the fourth day of the World Youth Netball Championships here, yesterday.

From the first whistle they had total control of the game and were never once threatened by the Caymanians.

Good momentum through the court allowed them to build up their scoring tally and prevented the Cayman Islands from scoring a single goal in the second half.

Yet head coach, Oberon Pitterson-Nattie, thinks her players still got a way to go if they want to seriously contend.

“We definitely need to improve on our defence. We know it’s not going to be easy but we’re prepared to do the work to get the medal,” she said.

The Cayman Islands played one of their best games yet, but it wasn’t enough to compete with the mighty Jamaicans.

“It’s a totally different league,” said their head coach Gillian Lee. “But I was pleased with the girls that they went as hard as they possibly could,” she added.

“Our next two games are really quite key for us. We’re trying to get some serious goals on the board for those ones and get a win,” Lee said.
