The UWI Revolution netball team blasted its way into the Super League, emerging champions in the 2010 Supreme Ventures /Jamaica Netball Association (JNA) Divisional ‘A’ League after defeating the Jetsetters “A”, 55-42, in the final round of the competition held at the National Stadium.   The UWI, Mona team is a newcomer to the Divisional ‘A’ League and has surfaced from a three year hiatus in active netball club league competition. This win represents the first time that UWI, Mona has entered the competition at such a prestigious level.

UWI Revolution Coach, Conrad Parks, described the finals as “shocking” as the Jetsetters “A” team, having played in the Super League for a number of years, was thought to be superior to the newcomers.  The UWI Revolution took the lead in the first quarter of the match and maintained it in all but the third quarter. Parks attributes the team’s success to “dedication, hard work and an extreme motivation to succeed.”

He outlined that the UWI Revolution had a close win, 39-37, in the team’s first match during the qualifying Open League against a more experienced team, Blade United. The Revolution went on to lose its second match by 3 points to Molynes ‘B”. This represented the only loss for the team as Revolution went on to “strike gold”, winning 14 from a total of 15 matches. “The UWI Revolution had many close encounters but with a determined attitude to win and good team work, from the centre court, attacking third and defenders they achieved victory in a seamless manner,” Parks declared.

UWI Revolution Centre, Zalika Paul, was named most valuable player in the League. Other top UWI, Mona Revolution players include Goal Shooter, Alicia Williams, who top scored for the Team with an 89% accuracy rating, and Shawnette Kerr, Goal Attack who scored 13 goals from 18 attempts.
