"AT LEAST a wi score do most against the national team," uttered a female spectator after watching her team, Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) A, take a humiliating 37-19 whipping at the hands of General Accident in the Business House Netball Association Open League final at the Leila Robinson Courts last night.
The previous highest number of goals scored against General Accident was 16, that by Mr. Lee's in the semi-finals on Saturday.
As predicted by Winston Nevers, who coaches both sides, and Oberon Pitterson who acted as player/coach last night for General Accident, the game was decided in the centre court.
BNS missed out on their first centre pass allowing General Accident to convert and from then on things got worse. With less than five minutes gone, BNS found themselves in a precarious position as the insurance girls jumped 5-0 up, three of which were BNS's centre passes.
National centre Nadine Bryan was just too hot for the 'Bank' ladies, storming the centre court along with wing attack Nicole Farqharson and goal attack Pitterson, all of whom fed former national goal shoot Margrette Byfield well in the shooting zone.
At the other end, although Suzette Desouza was in impeccable shooting form hitting 100 per cent - 10 from 10 - and her partner Marsha Murphy (9-11) was also strong, General Accident's defensive third was too good. Former national Under-16 captain Neekeesha Conolly (WD) and senior squad member Andrea Markland (GD) allowed very little room for forward passes.
LITTLE REPRIEVE
Not even the move by Nevers to put Desouza at goal attack in the second half could bring BNS back in the game. However, they did get a little reprieve as General Accident scored only three more goals than them in that period - the first half having ended 23-8.
Victory was no surprise for Pitterson.
"We had our game plan and we went out there and stuck to it right to the end," Pitterson said.
"Our goal was really to score off their turnovers and we did that and that's why we were ahead by such a large margin," she added.
Meanwhile, BNS captain Desouza, while gracious in defeat, has promised sweet revenge the next time the sides meet.
"I expected us to give them a better fight. We lost the game in the first half because they only outscored us by two in the second half ... we came out a bit intimidated in the first half so that is why we lost," she said.
