Kimale Evans, the Netball Bermuda president, said the Bermuda Longtails women’s national team are looking to build on their momentum after earning a world ranking as they prepare for the Central American and Caribbean Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, this summer. Although Bermuda were not ranked during the original qualifying period, St Vincent and the Grenadines have withdrawn for the next ranked country, with Bermuda becoming eligible. “We had a patient wait for our world ranking and were ecstatic to get in the top 20. We were overjoyed and pleasantly surprised.”Aside from the CAC Games, the Longtails are also set to compete at the Americas Netball World Cup qualifiers in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in October. Two teams are expected to advance to the Netball World Cup in Sydney, Australia, next year.
