Trinidad and Tobago beat Barbados 60 to 51 to complete an unbeaten Americas qualifying campaign. World Netball’s results and Guardian’s report confirm the finish.
Trinidad and Tobago completed the Americas Netball World Cup qualifiers unbeaten, defeating host Barbados 60 to 51 on Monday night. World Netball’s official results list the final score, while Guardian Media reports that the Calypso Girls had already secured a qualifying place before their last match. Their final record was seven victories from seven games.
Guardian reports that Maikea Bramble contributed 36 goals and captain Kalifa McCollin added 24. The team led 32 to 22 at halftime and 48 to 35 after the third quarter, before Barbados narrowed the margin in the final period. The tournament took place at the Sir Garfield Sobers Sports Complex in Barbados, with two places available for Sydney 2027.
St Vincent and the Grenadines took the other qualifying berth. This is a material change from the earlier account of Trinidad and Tobago remaining on course after beating St Lucia. The completed results now support confirmed qualification, rather than a prediction.
