England’s netball team are eliminated from the Commonwealth Games gold-medal match after losing 61-54 to New Zealand in their semi-final. All outlets report that England fall short against a strong New Zealand side, with the final scoreline reflecting the margin of defeat. The BBC, Yahoo Sports, and multiple Sky Sports reports state that England miss out on a place in the gold-medal contest following the semi-final loss. The Guardian adds that England, who won the competition in 2018, are beaten by New Zealand and that their performance is second best throughout the match, despite the relatively close 7-point difference. With the semi-final result, England move on to the bronze-medal match, with the Guardian specifying that the Roses will play either Australia or Jamaica for bronze. The match outcome therefore determines England’s tournament position as they prepare for Sunday’s third-place game.
