Defending champions and unbeaten Jamalco will take on Jetsetters 'A' in today's feature game of the second round in the Berger Paints Super Netball League at the Leila Robinson Courts starting at 7:30 p.m.

In the day's other games, Arnett Gardens tackle Windalco, Tivoli 'A' face Ravens 'A', Blades United entertain Waulgrovians 'A' and Police 'A' await Tivoli 'B'.

Winston Nevers, coach of Jamalco, is very confident of victory.

"I am very confident," said Nevers. "We are the defending champions and everybody would like to beat us. However, every team in the Senior League is playing very well at the moment so we are not going to be too overconfident," said Nevers.

"I know that Jetsetters play a very unique style of netball. They like to keep possession of the ball and they also like to make a lot of quick short passes," said Nevers.

Jamalco's attack will be lead by national goalshooter Romelda Aiken and veteran player Nadine Bryan, while the defence will be led by captain Andrea Markland.

C. Lloyd Walker, coach of Jetsetters 'A', said his team will be going out there to enjoy the game.

A miracle

"I know that it will take a miracle from us to beat them (Jamalco)," said Walker.

"The Super League consists of the 10 best teams in the Jamaica Netball Association (JNA) league and we are not one of the best teams in the league so we are just going out there to enjoy ourselves."

In the Western Union 'B' League starting at 3:30 p.m., Speg 'B' oppose Omega 'A', Red Challenge face Ocho Rios Magic, Bridgeport await Hampshire 'B' and Ravens entertain Maverley.

Three games will also be contested in the Supreme Ventures 'A' League, starting at 4:50 p.m. Alexander Strikers tackle Speg 'A', Skibo 'A' oppose Ebony Strikers and Molynes 'A' await Waulgrovians 'B'.
