Jamaica's Sunshine Girls will set their sights on a series sweep over visitors South Africa when the third and final Test of the Jamaica Netball Association-Supreme Ventures Sunshine Series gets under way this evening at the National Indoor Sports Centre. Match time is 7 o'clock.

The local girls, the world's number four ranked team, eased past the South Africans 63-48 and 61-46 in the first two 'Tests' and should not be stopped today as they are much too fast, too classy for their rivals who lack the speed to match them on court.

The Sunshine Girls last recorded a 3-0 series shut-out over Caribbean rivals Trinidad and Tobago in 2011, and head coach, Oberon Pitterson-Nattie, said her team would be pulling out all the stops to complete the sweep.

"We have to win, and we have to do whatever it takes to win," said Pitterson-Nattie.

"I am sure that we have to make some adjustments, but my players are certainly up for the task, and I know that they will come and give of their best again because it is important for us to win," she added. Pitterson-Nattie is aware that the team has a lot to work on. "I am pleased with some parts, but we still have a lot of work to do. I think that we need to be a lot more consistent and take care of the ball," she said.

Goalshooter Jhaniele Fowler has been virtually unstoppable in the first two matches. She scored 57 of her team's 61 goals in Sunday's victory and along with captain Nadine Bryan, defenders Malysha Kelly, and Vangelee Williams, will ensure three straight wins of the local aggregation. Meanwhile South Africa's head coach, Elize Kotze, remains hopeful that her team can pull off a victory today. "We are definitely not going to surrender," said Kotze. "We are South Africans and we are going to come back and we are going to fight our way back."

Kotze added: "Fowler, at the moment, is a huge problem for us because she scored 57 of the goals in this match (second Test). Everything that they do is around her, and so we are going to have to find a way to stop her from scoring freely against us."

Chrisna Bootha, who netted 34 goals Sunday, and Maryka Holtzhaunzen, who added 12, along with their captain Amanda Mynhardt and Anneret Viljoen, will lead the world's sixth-ranked South Africans hunt for victory.
