JAMAICA's UNDER-21 netballers last night completed a two-nil sweep of their South African counterparts.

The young Sunshine Girls won the second practice Test 40-34 at the National Indoor Sports Centre.

Ace Goal Shoot Romelda Aiken scored 36 of 44 attempts for the Jamaicans, who came from behind after trailing 20-19 at the end of the second quarter.

Jamaica won the third quarter 30-27 before pulling away for their victory.

The young Sunshine girls had won the first match 45-29 on Monday.

In recent international practice series, Jamaica first lost to New Zealand before registering victories against Australia, England and South Africa.

The girls will now turn their attention to fine-tuning their skills ahead of the World Youth Netball Championship, set for Florida in July.
