As we prepare for the 2009 netball seasons across the Caribbean, the Barbados Netball Association has released the 2008 results, with promotions and demotions. According to Julie Phillips it is recommended that the senior division and the Jennifer King zone be amalgamated to become the Division 1 and the next division will be Intermediate 1.Having not taken in much of the Junior league action one thing that struck me was the demotion of Structural Systems Silver Raiders in two lower divisions despite winning the coveted Division one title. This is really an anomaly as teams who win the first division usually have pretty decent lower divisions as well. Structural Sytems therefore do not look sustainable in terms of future dominance.
On a positive note it would be great to see Spooners Hill playing in the primer division again given that its best player is also one of Barbados national team's first line shooters, Lydia Bishop and she needs to be playing a better level of competition.
Congrats to Brydens who had a fantastic all round year in both the league and out of season competition. You have to hand it to Brydens' Management their teams look better managed than most both on and off the field and the discipline from the sidelines as an umpire was very high.
