Trinidad and Tobago Commonwealth Games Association (TTCGA)president Larry Romany says qualification for the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India, is a timely boost for netball in T&T.

According to Romany,head of the national Olympic Committee-the TTOC serves as the Commonwealth Games Association for Trinidad and Tobago-regaining the heights that T&T netball achieved in 1979 is not impossible.

"If we adopt modern sport science based training and periodisation methodologies, a podium position is not beyond us.It requires hard work,determination,a collective will?and self belief?. I believe we have the talent to run the Commonwealth big four close"said Romany

He however cautioned that there is no time for delay as 27 months is not a long time in the world of elite level sport.

"On behalf of the TTOC I extend congratulations to the players,coaches and mangement.I urge the netball fraternity to seize the day"added Romany.
