The St Ann Orchids recorded their first win of the Red Stripe Flavours Netball Elite League season with a nail-biting 50-49 win over the St Catherine Racers at the National Indoor Sports Centre on Sunday.
Kestina Sturridge, with 34 goals from 37 attempts, and Aaliyah Hibbert, with 16 from 21 attempts, led the fight for the Orchids, who trailed by six (26-20) at the half-time interval.
"It was two desperate teams trying to get the win. We both had not won a game, and I think the game reflected that, but we stuck to the hard moments and came out on top," said Orchids Coach Chad James.
