BVI to field women’s team in 2015 CBC C/Ships
The BVI will be entering a Women’s team in the CBC tournament for the first time, as according to Keith “88” Malone, “the time is right”.
Malone also noted that “the coaching staff is being assembled and the squad will include a lot of the girls who recently played in the St Thomas- St John’s Inter Scholastic Tournaments as well as Tamara and Tafar Phillips. Other more experienced players are being encouraged to participate in what is expected to be a very tough baptism for the senior women’s team.”
The 2015 CBC Championships for women will run from June 8 - 13, 2015 in Tortola, Virgin Islands and will have the participation of the national teams of Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Guyana, Jamaica, St Vincent and the Grenadines and the Virgin Islands.
In addition, the Men’s Championships will run from June 15 – 21, 2015 and will have the participation of the national teams of Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, Guyana, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname and the Virgin Islands.
