Netball’s Elite Honoured as Season Stars Celebrated
|
The curtain has officially fallen on another high-octane year of Bermudian netball, as the Bermuda Netball Association gathered the island’s top talent for the annual Premier and First Division Awards night. It was an evening defined by individual brilliance and collective growth, with the Tigers and Storm players dominating the top-tier accolades.
In the Premier Division, the Tigers’ defensive stalwart Khianda Pearman-Watson emerged as the night's biggest winner. Her relentless work in the circle earned her both the Best Defender and the prestigious Most Valuable Player titles, underscoring her role as the foundation of her side’s success.
The attacking honours went to Selah Tuzo of Storm, who was named Best Attacker for her clinical movement and vision, while teammate Debre Evans received the highest mark of respect from her peers, being voted the Players’ Player of the year.
The First Division awards highlighted the growing depth of talent in the secondary tier, with the Atlantic Aces featuring heavily on the podium. Sinae Symonds capped off a stellar individual campaign by being named both Best Defender and Players’ Player, while her teammate Charlotte Evans secured the Best Attacker trophy to complete an Aces sweep of the positional awards.
However, it was Jaya Dillas of the Phoenix Fire who took home the MVP crown for the division after a season of consistent, high-level influence.
The art of shooting was also a major talking point of the evening, with two players celebrated for their prolific accuracy under the post. Kammie Mills of the Phoenix Flames was recognised as the most lethal shooter in the country, finishing the season as the First Division leading goalscorer with a staggering 269 goals.
In the Premier Division, Jahkenya Trott proved to be the standard-bearer for the Tigers, leading the league with 134 goals to cap off a dominant year for her club.
Off the court, the tactical minds behind the teams were not forgotten. Anthony Mouchette was named Coach of the Year, a testament to his leadership and ability to navigate the challenges of a competitive local league. As the associations and clubs look toward the next cycle, the evening served as a vital reminder of the rising standards within the sport on the island.
