Liverpool. The hosts England had to satisfy with the third place by winning the bronze medal in the Netball World Cup 2019 concluded in Liverpool, England.
English Roses were disappointed when they lost to New Zealand (45-47) in the semi-finals.
Bit of poor decision making from South Africa as they pass laterally with just a second or two on the clock, they have to launch it long and the whistle curtails it.
Both teams giving their best, both teams look a little bit leggy after a long tournament. The first quarter ended in England’s favour 14-12
The crowd count down and South Africa have a chance to trim the lead, but miss a late long goal attempt and that has been firmly England’s quarter.
A frantic, messy first quarter from both sides but England were able to make their class tell in the second quarter, which they won 15-10. We’ve already seen in this tournament that South Africa have a comeback in them, but the money would be firmly on England at this stage.
England Roses were leading 29-22 at the Half Time.
England with 55% of the ball, they put their foot on the gas on that third quarter and with 22/22 shots Helen Housby is ensuring that England are making it count and 12 turnovers given up by the South Africans. Hosts extended the lead 46-32.
The Final quarter also commanded by England and ere wrapping that up with plenty to spare. As the time ticking and the margin of goals little high South Africa seems they given up hopes of bouncing back. As the final long whistle goes off the final score read 58-42 giving the bronze medal for the hosts.
