KINGSTON, Jamaica (CMC) — Jamaica has named a strong 10-member squad to participate in this year’s Fast5 World Series that will be held in Auckland, New Zealand, November 8-10.

The squad includes top goal shooters Romelda Aiken and Jhaniele Fowler and will be joined by Paula Thompson, who last represented Jamaica at the World Netball Championships in Singapore in 2011.

Aiken, along with defender Malysha Kelly, are the co-captains of the Sunshine Girls team which also includes five members that won the bronze medal at the recent World Youth Netball Championships (WYNC) in Glasgow, Scotland.

“I think we will do fairly well. I think we have a good set of girls going over there that will do us very proud,” said Aiken, who plays for the Queensland Firebirds in the ANZ Championships in Australia and New Zealand.

“We know the task ahead, and we know what we are going to come up against, and so we just need to put it together as a team.”

Fowler, regarded as the best goal shooter in the world, lit up the ANZ Netball Championships in New Zealand this year and was voted the Most Valuable Player (MVP).

The Jamaican, who plays for the New Zealand-based Southern Steel, finished with 666 goals from 709 attempts to break the league’s record for most goals in a season.

She also holds the record for most goals in a game, after netting 65 twice during the season.

The Oberon Pitterson-Nattie-coached team also includes Vanessa Walker, along with national Under-21 captain Vangelee Williams.

Williams will be joined in the squad by her national Under-21 teammates Shamera Sterling, Shanice Beckford, Khadijah Williams and Thristina Hardwood.
