According to Fraser, McCarthy started playing netball at age 12 when she was then a student of St. George’s Community High. Fraser added that because of her ability and accuracy at scoring goals, it set her apart from the other netball goal scorers.

Fraser further informed that Dyer-McCarthy was a founder member of the most successful netball team in Guyana (Emanie) and still holds the distinction of being the only goal scorer to net 100 goals in a single game.

Emanie Netball Club wishes to convey its deep condolences to the husband, family and friends of the late Angeline Dyer-McCarthy.
