But the local girls refused to be cowed and staged a dramatic comeback to win the crucial tie 48-46.  The home side chased the game for longer periods and at one stage the visitors held a seven-goal lead casting doubts over Dinaletsana’s dream of progressing to their first ever quarterfinal.

Jamaican attackers, Carlalee Tingling (WA) and Kestina Sturridge (GA) were causing all sorts of problems for the local side. The duo together with Simone Gordon (GS) was no match for the pint-sized Dinaletsana defence, with Tingling orchestrating the team’s moves, outwitting her marker, Sarona Hans.
