MOLYNES United ‘A’, led by goal shooter Shantal Slater’s 60 goals from 73 attempts, crushed Waulgrovians ‘B’ 80-19 as the 2016 Netball Jamaica/Supreme Ventures Limited (SVL) Major League competition continued at the Leila Robinson Courts last Saturday.
The Roy Pryce-coached Molynes ‘A’ were scoring their biggest margin of victory over the Marvette Anderson-coached Waulgrovians ‘B’, as they increased their chances of securing a place in the quarter-finals knockout.
