Borrego’s Thunderbirds win again

Adelaide Thunderbirds overcame a rare weak performance from Carla Borrego to fortify their hold on second place in the ANZ Championship with a 54-45 victory over West Coast Fever yesterday at ETSA Park in Australia.



Borrego, the Jamaican goal scoring sensation, netted 42 goals from 57 attempts, but the Adelaide Thunderbirds used a dominant fourth quarter showing to dismiss West Coast Fever.



Romelda Aiken and Althea Byfield, two other Jamaicans, will be in action today.



Goal shooter Aiken and the Queensland Firebirds host the Canterbury Tactix in Brisbane, Australia and goalkeeper Byfield and the Northern Mystics face South Steel in a New Zealand derby in Auckland.
