At the other end, Eden Lodge’s stocky goal shoot Nathanya Carrington scored six goals from 11 shots and hard-working goal attack Sharita Chadderton netted all three shots she took.

The slimly-built St Andrew’s/St Saviour’s/St Simon’s captain and goal defence Shaniece Clarke was a tower of strength in the defensive circle while trio Tamisha Marshall, Shakita Marshall and Shanice Rock played well in midcourt.

Clarke, fittingly named most valuable player of the final, got excellent support from tall goalkeeper Vanessa Springer but she impressed with her positioning in the circle, blocking a number of shots and made some crucial interceptions.

All the St Andrew players showed good ball skills, passing the ball in the correct manner, a credit to their physical education teacher Sonia Shepherd and successful NSC coach, Sonia Knight.

In the third-place play-off, another school coached by Knight, Cuthbert Moore Primary easily defeated St John’s Primary 15-4 after leading 9-4 at half-time.

Captain Makeda Boxill, who wore the goal attack bib, netted eight of 13 shots and goal shoot, Samantha Blanche scored seven goals from 12 attempts.

For St John’s, who were scoreless in the second half, goal shoot Shantelle Simpson shot three from four and goal attack Chantal Husbands added the other goal from four tries.

Kibibi Belle of Charles F. Broomes had a perfect ten from ten to win the individual shooting competition while Half Moon Fort won the team shooting competition.
