Gems keep hopes alive

Gems keep hopes alive According to Barbados Nation, by KENMORE BYNOE With the Bajan Gems’ hopes of reaching the 2027 Netball World Cup finals almost evaporated, the hosts saved some face by scoring a battling 51-40 win over Canada when the Netball World Cup Sydney 2027 Regional Qualifiers entered the penultimate day on Sunday at the Wildey Gymnasium. Buoyed by a large, vociferous crowd in the gym and overcoming a frenetic first half, Barbados battled for scores of 13-12, 21-22 and 35-22. That critical victory allowed the Gems to retain a tenuous chance of edging out St Vincent and the Grenadines for a spot behind Trinidad and Tobago as the two teams heading to Sydney, Australia. Barbados started with shooters Kadeen Corbin and six-footer Damia Walrond, circle defenders captain Shonette Azore-Bruce and Dei Padmore with Azaria Alleyne playing centre, Brianna Holder running wing attack and Salisha Auguste at wing defence.
