GLASGOW, Scotland — The Sunshine Girls haven’t quite got it right yet at the XX Commonwealth Games. That’s the suggestion of the team’s captain.

And while they are still in the process of doing so, they keep winning. Two matches, two wins. But still, they consider themselves a work in progress.

Yesterday at the SECC arena in Group A play, the Jamaicans outclassed Northern Ireland 65-34. But the day before, they were more ruthless with cyclonic effect in defeating St Lucia 88-24.

“Going forward, we have some areas that we need to clean up, so we are going back to the drawing board, work on some things going into the next game…we still need to work on how well we take care of the ball, as we have too many turnovers too early, but apart from that, I think my team did fantastic today,” said captain Nicole Aiken-Pinnock.

There is no shortage of skills within the ranks of the team, but Aiken-Pinnock is well aware that it will take more than that for the team to win a medal here.

“We have been working different combinations and we are working on that as a unit and as a team, so at the end of the day, the best combination will go out there and get the work done,” she said.

The goal-keep is a grateful taskmaster, paying tribute to the spirit of the team and the effort to establish a winning track.

“First and foremost, I must congratulate my team for two victories so far, and we are taking it one game at a time as each day we come out here we try to give of our best. I was satisfied with the performance of my team (in the first game) as that was what we wanted and that was to come out here and play to the best of our abilities and that we did,” she told the Jamaica Observer.

In yesterday’s match, goal-shoot Jhaniele Fowler-Reid topped the scoring, registering 49 shots from 55 attempts. She was followed by Shanice Beckford with 12 from 16 and Thristina Harwood with four from seven.

Jamaica won each quarter — 17-9, 18-8, 14-11, and 16-6.

Northern Ireland’s response was led by Noleen Lennon with 13 from 21, Lisa Somerville, 12 from 17, and Oonagh McCullough with nine from 16.

In other matches at the SECC arena, New Zealand were severely tested by Malawi, but managed to win 50-47; England defeated Wales 65-25; South Africa beat Trinidad and Tobago, and Scotland got the better of St Lucia 58-30.

Jamaica’s next game will be against Scotland tomorrow, the day most eyes turn to Hampden Park for the start of track and field.

Meanwhile, centre player Khadija Williams sustained an injury to her back during yesterday’s match, but coach Minneth Reynolds is not worried.

“She fell badly, but there is nothing to worry about, just give her a few days rest she will be okay. Tomorrow (today) we don’t have a match, so that will get her some rest and she should be good to go again.

“We are waiting on the doctor’s command and then we can move from there,” she said.
