Malvern win in Republic n-ball

“EVERGREEN” Malvern edged “teenie boppers” Horizon 11-10 in a thriller as action in the Republic Bank-sponsored Laventille Netball League continued with the American-style knockout series at the St Paul’s Street Multi-Purpose Facility. Doing the business for the winners on Wednesday last was Marsha Browne who scored eight goals from 17 attempts, on her return to competitive netball after a 10-year hiatus.  Nadia Green had three goals from four attempts for the winners, while Candia Lee Pierre had a perfect five from five and Erica Job five from eight for Horizon.

The night was not without controversy as Togetherness, utilising a player from another division, beat Cavaliers 12-9. After a protest was lodged, an investigation was made which confirmed the use of the un-registered player. The teams were forced to replay the game, with Cavaliers turning the tables on Togetherness, beating them by an identical 12-9 scoreline.
Other games leading up to the finals were: SAN JUAN (10) vs MACOYA FORUM (8).
Semi-finals: HORIZON (10) vs SAN JUAN (8); MALVERN (6) vs CAVALIERS (5).
