Taylor’s support, goal attack Vanessa Jones, had three from three. For St Lucia, Jamie Ambrose had six from nine, Chenna Prospere four from six, Joann Anderson three from seven and Ianna Hippolyte two from four.

Jamaica beat Dominica in their first match 65-7 on Friday. Jamaica were to play Cayman Islands last evening, while Guyana were to take on Trinidad & Tobago and Dominica meeting St Lucia.

In the morning session Saturday, Barbados beat Dominica 40-7, Trinidad & Tobago gave a 38-7 lesson to Cayman Islands, and St Lucia drubbed Guyana 51-9.

In other results last night, Barbados punished Cayman Islands 44-3, and Trinidad & Tobago held on to beat Dominica 30-20.
