Calypso Girls Beat BVI 106–17 in World Cup Qualifier

The Full Story

The Calypso Girls followed their earlier win over Canada with a 106–17 result against the British Virgin Islands in Bridgetown on 25 October, according to the Trinidad Guardian’s match report. Goal shooter Maikea Bramble made 87 of 90 attempts. The result is another step in the Americas qualifying tournament for the 2027 Netball World Cup, where the top two teams earn places. It was a match result, not confirmation that the whole qualification campaign had been completed.

The margin was built steadily: the Guardian reported quarter-end scores of 29–3, 61–6 and 86–12 before the 106–17 finish. Bramble made 21 of 22 attempts in the first quarter and all 27 of her second-quarter attempts. Kalifa McCollin also scored before Kira Rothwell entered later. Coach Liselle Johnson rested Samantha Wallace-Joseph for this fixture, according to the paper. These details show how the attack was distributed and why Bramble’s contribution stands out; they do not predict the result of the next match.

The result follows a 62–35 win over Saint Lucia reported in the same tournament round. T&T was due to face host Barbados in its final listed game. The Guardian also reported that St Vincent and the Grenadines beat Barbados 49–43, changing the race for the second qualifying place. Those results make the remaining fixtures relevant to the standings, but the published paper predates their outcomes. A later score or qualification decision should be added as a dated update after checking the competition record.
