  Posted on » Wednesday, November 18, 2009

BRITISH Club 'B' celebrated their promotion into division one of the 2009-10 Bahrain Netball League with a 22-17 victory over Dilmun Champion 'B' last night at the British Club in Adliya, reports PATRICK SALOMON.

After a see-saw first quarter that saw both clubs deadlocked at 5-5, British 'B' managed to take a one-goal lead, 9-8, into half-time and later held on to a narrow 13-12 advantage after three quarters.

They fought hard to extend the gap in the final canto, and were rewarded in the end as they claimed their victory by a comfortable five-goal margin.
Eliana was named the player of the match for British 'B', while Hayley Loftus was adjudged the top performer for Dilmun 'B'.

In division two, group leaders Dilmun Champion 'C' maintained their unbeaten record with a 28-20 win against British Club 'C'.

Sam Carlsson spearheaded her side in the contest, and lifted them to a 13-10 lead at the break. They closed out the win well over the final two periods, holding their rivals to just two goals in the third quarter before cruising in the fourth.

Miranda White was named the best player for British 'C'.

Meanwhile, National Trading Company-Sri Lanka Club scored their first victory of the season with a 23-18 triumph over Bahrain Rugby Football Club (BRFC) 'B'.
The winners opened the game leading 7-5 after one, and over the course of the contest gradually extended their gap. They took a 19-12 cushion into the fourth, and never looked back.

Deshani was the best performer for Sri Lanka, while Lauren Tearney was the player of the match for BRFC 'B'. Last night's other fixture between BRFC 'A' and Dilmun Champion 'A' was postponed to this Sunday.
