The visiting Australia’s Under-21 netballers and their counterparts from Jamaica will face off this afternoon in the opening match of their three-Test series at G.C. Foster College in Spanish Town.
The match will serve off at 6 p.m.
The other two games will take place on Wednesday and Friday at the same venue.
Both teams suffered defeats in their warm up games on Saturday to club sides.
The Australians were beaten 45-41 by Jamalco, while the young Sunshine Girls were edged 37-36 by Tivoli Gardens.
The Australian team includes six members of the Australian Institute of Sports Under-21 team, which defeated the Jamaicans 3-0 in a three-Test Series here last year.
Jamaica and Australia are using the series as preparations for the Under-21 World Championships, which will take place in the Cook Islands between August 11 to 20.
