Barbados

Barbados was probably the most disappointed team at the end of the CNA Jean Pierre U16 competition which just concluded in St. John's Antigua.

Dropping in ranking from 2nd to 4th position overall the Bajan girls showed glimpses of brilliance but were not able to sustain their form against Jamaica, Trinidad nor St. Vincent and the Grenadines, falling down badly in their shooting area.

The shooters were the most inexperience and youngest members of the team and will therefore have the opportunity to redeem themselves next year.

Determined not to go home empty handed they won the shooting competition and Shannon Hackett won the most accurate shooter trophy. Barbados also had three of their shooters in the top ten. Tonisha Rock-Yaw was 2nd overall (80.49%), Shannon Hackett - 5th (77.12%) and Rieah Holder 8th (71.88%). Shannon Hackett placed 2nd in terms of the highest score in the competition, 47 of 56.

Captain Jeniece Clarke was the Most Valuable player. The 16 year old had an outstanding tournament and was arguably the best defensive player in the competition.

Barbados was awarded the Platinum Award in the Performance Incentive Programme and three of its players were listed in the top sixteen Players of the Tournament - Jeneice Clarke, Danissa Foster and Shakola Herbert.
