Fire burns UWI in KO final

Goal shooter Aquila Blugh was almost unstoppable as she converted 20 of 25 attempts to lead Fire Service to a comfortable 36–21 scorching of UWI in the Courts All Sectors Netball League Championship Division knockout final at the Eastern Regional Indoor Sports Arena, Tacarigua, on Tuesday night.

Goal attack Nariba Grant was also impressive with 16 goals from 21 attempts for Fire Service which led 17–12 at the half-time interval en route to retaining its title in a repeat of last year’s final.

For UWI, which dumped division league champions Bermudez in the semifinals, Abeni Taylor scored 17 from 24 attempts and Akeela Rodriguez chipped in with four from seven.

Earlier on, CCS secured a shock win over Retro Division league winners TSTT 16–7 in their divisional knockout decider.
