England miss out on netball gold chance after Commonwealth Games defeat to New Zealand

England’s netball team has been eliminated from gold medal contention at the Commonwealth Games following a 61-54 semi-final loss to New Zealand. The defeat ends England's pursuit of regaining the title they secured in 2018, with the Silver Ferns delivering a performance described as more dominant than the final seven-point margin indicates.

Following the loss, England will now compete in the bronze medal match. Their opponent will be determined by the outcome of the semi-final between Australia and Jamaica.
