BRIDGETOWN, Barbados: The Vincy Jewels strengthened their Netball World Cup qualification bid on Sunday, October 25, with a commanding 77–52 victory over Grenada’s Spice Girls at the Garfield Sobers Sports Complex.
The final score was announced by Netball St. Vincent. The Vincentians finished with a 25-goal advantage, recording their fifth victory in six outings at the Americas regional qualifier.
The win followed Saturday’s important 49–43 defeat of host nation Barbados, another result that has increased the pressure on the teams competing for the two qualification places.
Vincy Jewels Defeat Grenada After Strong Run of Form
St. Vincent and the Grenadines opened the tournament with a 50–48 victory over the United States before suffering a 73–41 defeat against Trinidad and Tobago. The team responded with victories over Canada (51–41), the British Virgin Islands (91–13), Barbados (49–43), and now Grenada (77–52).
Across those six matches, the Vincy Jewels have scored 359 goals and conceded 270, a positive goal differential of 89. Their four consecutive wins since the Trinidad and Tobago defeat demonstrate the team’s determination to recover and compete.
What the 77–52 Result Means for World Cup Qualification
Eight countries are contesting the Americas qualifier in Barbados. According to World Netball’s official tournament information, the top two teams at the end of the competition will be invited to the 2027 Netball World Cup in Sydney, Australia.
Sunday’s victory gives SVG a 5–1 record with one scheduled match remaining. It significantly strengthens the Jewels’ qualification prospects, but a World Cup berth has not yet been confirmed. The final table will depend on the remaining results.
Vincy Jewels Defeat Grenada, Face Saint Lucia Next
The Jewels are scheduled to conclude their round-robin campaign against Saint Lucia on Monday, October 26, at 6 p.m. Eastern Caribbean time. Another victory would leave St. Vincent and the Grenadines with an impressive six wins from seven matches.
The match against Saint Lucia will be crucial, and the Vincentians must remain focused while other contenders complete their schedules.
A Performance Worth Celebrating
For Vincentians at home and across the diaspora, the Jewels’ performances are a source of national pride. The players and coaching staff have represented the country with resilience in a demanding regional competition.
Whatever the final qualification outcome, this campaign has demonstrated the strength of Vincentian women’s netball. With one match to go, the Vincy Jewels have given the nation every reason to follow the final stages closely.
