Goal-at­tack Nikeisha Gomes did the bulk of the shoot­ing for Laven­tille Unit­ed and led the scor­ing with 30 goals from 39 at­tempts to see her team to vic­to­ry in the Re­pub­lic Bank Laven­tille Net­ball League on Sat­ur­day evening.

Gomes’ ef­fort helped the Laven­tille unit de­feat TT Post 52-32 in their A Di­vi­sion match-up at the Nel­son Man­dela Park in St Clair, Port-of-Spain. She did well to boost her goal-shoot­er vet­er­an and for­mer na­tion­al play­er So­journ­er Hyles, who poured 22 from 36 tries. The pair had Laven­tille Unit­ed ahead at the end of each quar­ter, 12-9 in the first, 22-15 at the half and 37-22 in the third be­fore seal­ing the 20-goal vic­to­ry.

Dionne Jones (8/14) and Jo­ce­lyn Mar­celle (9/13) opened in the shoot­ing cir­cle for TT Post. Lat­er, Crys­tal Jones en­tered as the goal-shoot­er and added 15 from 24 but it was not enough to over­come the huge deficit.

In the oth­er A Di­vi­sion match, goal-shoot­er Kaliyah Coop­er came good once again for the Po­lice Youth Club (PYC) and led them to a nar­row 39-34 win over South­ern Net­ball Acad­e­my (SNA).

Coop­er con­nect­ed on 33 goals from 40 at­tempts as PYC held the ad­van­tage at the end of each quar­ter - 8-6, 20-15 and 27-26 re­spec­tive­ly.

In the fi­nal quar­ter, SNA tried to ral­ly back main­ly through goal-shoot­er Shaniya Mor­gan with 26 in 28. How­ev­er, it was not to be as SNA were outscored 12-8 in the fourth pe­ri­od and went un­der by five goals.

For­mer se­nior na­tion­al cap­tain Ani­ka La Roche al­so fea­tured in the PYC win, net­ting four of sev­en.

In the lone In­ters Di­vi­sion match, Ree­ka Seer­at­tan scored 23 goals from 30 at­tempts at Tran­scend eas­i­ly beat Cen­tral Bank 33-7.
