England Netball Lose to New Zealand in Thrilling Commonwealth Games Semi Final England's netball dreams were dashed as they fell 58 56 to reigning champions New Zealand in the semi finals at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham.
This heart wrenching loss ended their bid for a maiden gold medal since the game was introduced to the Commonwealth programme in 1998.
England's training regime under head coach Jess Thirlkill had shown promising signs leading up to the semi final match, with several key players returning from previous games and a familiar lineup expected to give them an edge.
