The Jamaica Netball Association (JNA)/Berger Paints Super League competition resumes today after a two-week break, with four matches at the Leila Robinson Courts.
In the day's feature, defending champions Jamalco oppose Hampshire 'A', Speg 'A' tackle Tivoli Gardens 'A', Police 'A' entertain Windalco and Arnett Gardens await Jetsetters 'A'. All matches start at 5:45 p.m. Jamalco's coach, Winston Nevers, is full of optimism for their match against Hampshire 'A'. "We are very confident because we are moving from strength to strength as the season draws to a close,"said Nevers. Jamalco, who are seeking their seventh straight title, will be depending heavily on national representatives Nadine Bryan and Nicole Aiken, along with former national players Elaine Davis and Samantha Mundle. Despite the odds, Hampshire are promising to give their maximum. "We are going out to compete to the best of our abilities because the Jamalco team is very experienced, with a lot of present and former national players," said Joan Burton-Leung, president of Hampshire 'A'. Hampshire 'A', who are the newcomers in the league, will rest their hopes in the hands of goal defence Kameika Sherwood, goal shooter Shaunalee Mais and Tana Grey. - Robert Bailey
