Caribbean Teams In Commonwealth Games

Anestacia Wilson and Joelisa Cooper scored 26 goals each to steer Trinidad and Tobago past Samoa, 52-51 on Wednesday, in a keenly contested Commonwealth Games netball tournament Group A clash, at the Thyagaraj Sports Complex, in New Delhi, India.

The victory was a timely morale booster for T&T, following Monday's 75-36 defeat to Jamaica.

The Samoans led 12-11 at the end of the first quarter of yesterday's contest, and 27-26 at halftime. But T&T edged past Samoa in the third period of play, outscoring their South Pacific rivals 13-10 to take a 39-37 lead into the final quarter.

Trinidad crushed India 77-26 on Thursday to knock the home side out of the competition.

Barbados bounced back from their defeat against England to put away both Cook Islands and Papua New Guinea.
