The quarter-finals of the 2009 World Youth Netball Championship in the Cook Islands will take place today with Jamaica facing Northern Ireland.
The game is scheduled to start tonight at 10 p.m. Jamaica time.
The Jamaicans will take an unblemished record in the quarter-final series.
After rushing to massive victory over the United States, Papua New Guinea, Singapore and Malawi, the Jamaicans topped Pool ‘D’ with maximum 16 points and the best defensive record in the round. They conceded only 84 goals, while netting 352.
Jamaica placed fourth behind New Zealand, England and Australia at the last Championship in Florida four years ago.
Also at 10 p.m. tonight, Australia and hosts Cook Island will meet.
The other two quarter-final games will follow two hours later. The games are title holders New Zealand against Malawi and England tackling South Africa.
