Another tough task for Girls

Robert Bailey, Gleaner Writer

Jamaica's Sunshine Girls will be hoping for a much improved performance when they oppose second-ranked New Zealand in the final match of their two-Test series in New Zealand tomorrow (3:30 a.m. Ja time).

The Connie Francis-coached team trails 0-1 following their humiliating 58-35 defeat to the New Zealanders in Game One on Wednesday.

Annette Daley, assistant coach of the number four-ranked Sunshine Girls, said the team has been learning from its mistakes and she was confident of a better showing in tomorrow's encounter.

"I thought we played well in the first two quarters of the first match and then things went really bad for us in the second half, and so we are hoping that we can maintain a steady performance not only for two quarters but for the entire game," Daley said.
