I am sure we will all take home some wonderful memories of Glasgow. | :00:54. | :01:53. | |
Hannah Miley wins gold for Scotland! The 13-year-old from the | :01:54. | :02:05. | |
Shetland Islands! Scotland are going to make it! It's gold. | :02:06. | :02:53. | |
Lots of joyous moments. England finished top of the medal table for | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
the first time in 28 years. Australia can only win a possible | :03:01. | :03:13. | |
seven of those still to be decided. Nicola Adams continued to rewrite | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
the history books with a masterful performance at the Hydro, and there | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
was a certain Mr Usain Bolt at the Hampden, delivering the most | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
expected gold of the games in the 4 x 100 metres final. | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
So, lots of gold is up for grabs still today. Here is what is coming | :03:30. | :03:38. | |
up between this morning and 2:30pm. Heartbreak for England yesterday, | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
but they have to regroup for the bronze medal match against Jamaica. | :03:42. | :03:56. | |
They are the top two seeded teams, and Australia and New Zealand will | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
fight it out for netball gold. And we will be catching up with the | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
action on Glasgow Green as England's men chase bronze medals | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
and Australia face India for a gold. So, let's get down to business. We | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
are going across behind me to the Hydro, the place shaped like a | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
flying saucer. It is about netball today, and Lee McKenzie is in there | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
for us. What an incredible atmosphere | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
today. This has been transformed overnight. Yesterday, until the | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
small hours, we had boxing going on. They have changed the whole | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
venue. They have taken up the floor and now everyone is packing in the | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
sea fabulous day of netball. Pamela Cookey joins me. Double heartbreak | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
for her, she has not been able to lead her team here after an Achilles | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
injury. And yesterday, such a tough day. How are the girls feeling? I | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
caught them after the game and spent a bit of time with them. As you saw | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
from the pictures, they were devastated. They knew it was there | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
for the taking. But it wasn't to be. But they know they need to park it | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
for today. It was not forgotten because it was a mistake we made, | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
but they have the come out today. Whenever we get to a big tournament, | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
it always seems these days to be an England-to make a play-off, and New | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
Zealand versus Australia in the final. How well do these girls know | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
each other? As you say, it has been an England versus Jamaica bronze | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
medal play-off for so long. It is the same line-up that finished the | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
game against New Zealand yesterday. They will be coming out strong, with | :05:41. | :05:52. | |
a point to prove. It is difficult, because yesterday, their last memory | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
on a netball court was one of devastation. You saw the words | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
gutted, heartbroken, on social media. Now, they look like they are | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
up for it. Whatever was that seems to be working. Eminently, Anna | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
Meares would have pulled them together. They need to step it up | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
today and bring out that passion and fight and the belief that they can | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
take this game. Maybe this change of venue seems like a new start. | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
Definitely. This Hydro is almost above the capacity, so they will | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
feed on the energy of the crowd. You can hear them already. Who are the | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
favourites in this match? I think England are definitely still the | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
favourites. We have made Jamaica many times and come out with a win | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
consistently -- we have played Jamaica several times. The girls | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
will want to prove a point to themselves, just for their own | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
confidence. Definitely. They were like, we are not coming home without | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
a medal! Some proving a point is on the cards. And the dangerous players | :06:57. | :07:12. | |
for Jamaica? In defence, they have Nicole, so she will be trying to | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
cause a bit of trouble, Nicole Pinnock. And will the girls already | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
be thinking ahead to the World Cup next year? They can't think about | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
that yet. They need to finish this game, and that is the next | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
challenge. This is consolidation. We need to close these days with a win, | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
and then we look forward. Let's join the commentators. | :07:34. | :07:56. | |
Joining myself and Charlie Brougham is our resident netball expert, | :07:57. | :08:10. | |
Anita Navin. Yes, just a sense of calmness in the England mid-court. | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
Great to see Sara Bayman taking control. England just need to keep | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
hold of this file, control. England just need to keep | :08:21. | :08:30. | |
against the Caribbean ways. -- this style. A great start for Corbin. She | :08:31. | :08:40. | |
was so upset at the final whistle of the semifinal against you deal and | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
yesterday. She was given the chance by Anna Meares, the coach, to put | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
that behind her by starting here. Jamaica looks to put pressure on | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
England. It is quality defence again from Jamaica -- England. Both these | :09:01. | :09:12. | |
sites have very little time to recover from those semifinals. | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
England got about two hours more than Jamaica. They have had about 22 | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
hours, and Jamaica 20 hours. It is not a lot of time between an intense | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
a final and bronze medal match. Absolutely. Interesting to see Paula | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
Thompson out there. She got a breeder in a few of the games, but | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
she is such an influence for Jamaica in that mid-court. Given the lack of | :09:36. | :09:45. | |
recovery time, you imagine both coaches will use their bench? It | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
depends on their result and how these players match up with each | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
other. It is a great start so far by Kadeen Corbin. They often talk about | :09:56. | :10:08. | |
the third quarter, and that is where the pressure comes. The teak starts | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
to the pressure comes. The teak starts | :10:12. | :10:14. | |
Jamaica have got into their stride. to set in. | :10:15. | :10:29. | |
Jamaica have got into their stride. It is important that both sides | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
start well. There | :10:32. | :11:11. | |
on England at the defensive end. New Zealand were just a brutal | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
yesterday. Such a defensive game. Absolutely. The quality of the | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
structure of the New Zealand defence. But this is a good start in | :11:23. | :11:32. | |
defence by Jamaica. It looks like they have thought about what needs | :11:33. | :11:33. | |
to be done. Good pressure by Jamaica. In the | :11:34. | :12:25. | |
first glaring error from England. You get the sense that Romelda Aiken | :12:26. | :12:53. | |
has wanted that the throughout the competition. -- she wanted that | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
bid. She has only played six quarters in | :12:57. | :13:07. | |
six previous matches as a goal shooter. She has been used in | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
defence. I guess Jamaica will be hoping that | :13:11. | :13:28. | |
she is so eager to make an impact here that she will possibly have the | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
game of her life to propel Jamaica towards that bronze medal. | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
Absolutely. Corbin continues her fine start to | :13:36. | :14:07. | |
this game. It will be about full court defence | :14:08. | :14:36. | |
for England. Paula Thompson is a critical player on the Jamaican | :14:37. | :14:37. | |
side. England struggled with transitioning | :14:38. | :15:01. | |
from one third to another yesterday. They lost too many balls. Yes, it | :15:02. | :15:09. | |
was a pressure on, pressure of situation. New Zealand kept mixing | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
up whether pressure came, and that was something England did not | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
necessarily adjust to. The time-out has been called. Buying gland. -- by | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
England. Khazi who has called it. But | :15:26. | :15:35. | |
England, having had a good start, now find themselves down by four. | :15:36. | :15:48. | |
Romelda Aiken is having a lot of joy in this first part of the match. We | :15:49. | :15:57. | |
are halfway through the first quarter. In fact, it is Jamaica who | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
have called the time-out full of that is Romelda Aiken. | :16:03. | :16:14. | |
That is Fowler read. Aiken must have done a twinge -- she must have | :16:15. | :16:25. | |
picked up a twinge, because Jamaica had the momentum in the match. A | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
good chance for Anna Mayes to tweak a few things. Absolutely. A sense of | :16:29. | :16:36. | |
mixing up what the England players are doing. As you said, it is about | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
quality ball delivery into the attacking third for England. Jamaica | :16:42. | :16:49. | |
have had a good start. They have defensively tightened up as well. | :16:50. | :17:27. | |
Good work from Jo Harten. Fourth time lucky? And she finds the goal! | :17:28. | :17:40. | |
Hard work, but Jo Harten gets it back. | :17:41. | :17:55. | |
Jade Clarke is the captain in the absence of an cookie, who was | :17:56. | :18:43. | |
injured in the last match of the Super League season in the UK. | :18:44. | :18:58. | |
Yes, Jade Clarke has support from Sara Bayman and Jo Harten. | :18:59. | :19:13. | |
The penalty has gone against Jamaica. Aiken is the tallest player | :19:14. | :19:21. | |
in the tournament, along with Janel Fowler read. Six foot five, or one | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
metre 95. Jamaica are slightly on the chase in | :19:26. | :19:41. | |
terms of the fence. -- in terms of defence. | :19:42. | :20:04. | |
switch of leads. That is what is needed to take the pressure off the | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
amount of movement that Jo Harten will do in attack. It is a better | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
response by England. Good structure at the centre pass. Three changes of | :20:16. | :20:24. | |
lead in the opening 11 and a half minutes of play. | :20:25. | :20:36. | |
That is a magnificent take. You see some great athleticism from both | :20:37. | :20:51. | |
sides in the opening of this match. That was good quality positioning in | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
defence. It is that ability, that straight up jump and the claw of the | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
ball with the hand. Good play. The supporters of Jade Clarke. A | :21:00. | :21:26. | |
good response, England. Good pressure, two minutes of play, | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
good response, England. Good wearing down the defence of Jamaica. | :21:30. | :21:39. | |
Corbyn, that is her first miss of the match so far. So a much better | :21:40. | :22:04. | |
start for Kadeen Corbyn. Missed her first shot yesterday against New | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
Zealand. And we have lost a shoe! Jade Clarke lost her trainer. There | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
is a better commitment of the England players to put the pressure | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
on early, pressure that first ball and it is about getting more gains | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
and intercepts around the mid Aiken wins the penalty. No surprises | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
area and not leaving it too late. Aiken wins the penalty. No surprises | :22:29. | :22:56. | |
where that was going. Well taken by Aiken, unlucky from | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
Beckford-Chambers. Aiken, unlucky from | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
With a minute to go in the first quarter, it is England 12, Jamaica | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
11. Williams again pulled. A safe pair of hands, jaet Clarke. | :23:10. | :23:31. | |
Came out and split the defence. Much better attacking play from England. | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
Just under 30 seconds remain. Aiken does make it a one-goal game? | :23:35. | :24:03. | |
No? Timed out I think on that shot. Timed out by the umpire. A | :24:04. | :24:11. | |
three-second hold. And that will be the last play of the quarter. That | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
is quarter time. So England and Jamaica in the bronze medal match | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
are separated by just two goals. We had three changes of lead in the | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
opening 15 minutes and this one looks very tight after the first | :24:27. | :24:28. | |
quarter. A fascinating opening quarter of | :24:29. | :24:41. | |
netball. What do the stats say? Yes, you get a sense in terms of shooting | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
attempts. Better attacking play from England. A bit safer in terms of | :24:48. | :24:55. | |
distribution. Still a lower shooting percentage from England than would | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
be wanted. Similar between both sides in terms of contact penalties. | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
But we start to see just a couple of other rebounds being gained. Some | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
quality work by Beckford-Chambers and Mentor. It is a big ask there | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
with Romelda Aiken. More movement out of the circle for Jo Harten. Not | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
always through the top. She is mixing up what she is doing. But | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
that is a tough ball to defend and important Beckford-Chambers tries to | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
limit that movement through of the goal attack. Aiken ten from ten in | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
the first quarter. It is about trying to shut down the feed I guess | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
to Aiken. Because she has got that height advantage, despite their | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
elevation. When England get their arms around the circle, they need to | :25:52. | :25:59. | |
lift this ball, Jamaica, and there is a chance. Everything has to be | :26:00. | :26:12. | |
clean. Everything. We will see after this one. Let's go guys, reset! So | :26:13. | :26:24. | |
we are about to get under way in this second quarter. One change from | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
an England Sasha Corbyn woman comes on at wing attack, in place of Jade | :26:31. | :26:40. | |
Clarke. Kadeen Corbyn, what a good start to the game she has had and | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
there is her sister. It is about keeping that consistency, moving | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
into quarter two. Just keep that fluency through the court. The | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
structure, the stress-free delivery into the shooters. But working for | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
that high percentage shooting opportunity. England get this second | :27:04. | :27:17. | |
quarter under way, the one change at quarter time with Sasha Corbyn | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
coming on at wing attack in place of Jade Clarke, the England captain. A | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
sfragt swap and Jamaica, no changes. A late whistle from the umpire. | :27:26. | :27:52. | |
Calms play back and Romelda Aiken continues to find the target and it | :27:53. | :28:02. | |
is a one-goal game again. Just Thompson trying to look at her | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
position in relation to Aiken. Just coming through the mid channel on | :28:08. | :28:08. | |
the previous play. England did a good job in the first | :28:09. | :28:51. | |
quarter of keeping momentum going. It is good retrieval there by Aiken. | :28:52. | :29:00. | |
But they have conceded now. Three goals in the opening two minutes of | :29:01. | :29:03. | |
the second quarter. I thought Aiken pushed the ball out. | :29:04. | :29:23. | |
But Beckford-Chambers calmed for the contact. | :29:24. | :29:30. | |
Just enough on that one from Romelda Aiken. Paula Thompson doing a good | :29:31. | :29:42. | |
job for Jamaica now and they lead by two. Stayed wide. | :29:43. | :30:08. | |
They're coming through the wing attack side, Jamaica, it tells you | :30:09. | :30:17. | |
how they're trying to play tactically, not coming down a | :30:18. | :30:20. | |
natural goal defence side in terms of play. Mentor has called the time | :30:21. | :30:35. | |
out here. England just taking time to get going in that second quarter. | :30:36. | :30:41. | |
Two and a half minutes before the first goal went in. Watch | :30:42. | :30:50. | |
Two and a half minutes before the back yesterday after, the | :30:51. | :30:54. | |
Two and a half minutes before the and England had a lot of patches in | :30:55. | :30:57. | |
there where they couldn't score goals. As did New Zealand. It was a | :30:58. | :31:02. | |
very defensive game. From an England perspective, they only scored two | :31:03. | :31:06. | |
goals in the last ten minutes of the match and none in the last six | :31:07. | :31:13. | |
minutes. I think that just gives some indication of the kwaurlt of | :31:14. | :31:17. | |
defence of New Zealand and potentially when they mixed up their | :31:18. | :31:22. | |
phenomenon sieve play, England at times needed to mix up what they did | :31:23. | :31:28. | |
on attack and maintain that same style through. But it was a big ask | :31:29. | :31:35. | |
against New Zealand. They just work players into the ground. | :31:36. | :31:45. | |
England did a good job But England closed her down. That is | :31:46. | :31:55. | |
a lovely interchange of passes. Good work. Rather than opt for the swing, | :31:56. | :32:02. | |
she played herself through and kept the ball on the same side. | :32:03. | :32:13. | |
Mentor finally gets her hands to one. And forced down the goal | :32:14. | :32:20. | |
defence side, where Mentor and Beckford-Chambers take a lot more | :32:21. | :32:25. | |
possession. Good pressure on the Jamaica attack gave them that | :32:26. | :32:29. | |
possession. That is all the way through from the mid court area. | :32:30. | :32:40. | |
Another fine Corbyn. A great response from her. | :32:41. | :33:02. | |
That is the They're pulling the defence towards | :33:03. | :33:11. | |
the post and that is a crucial error on the line from Jamaica. England | :33:12. | :33:22. | |
can't take advantage of it on this occasion. They might get another | :33:23. | :33:23. | |
chance. A dramatic fall. That is a good | :33:24. | :33:34. | |
take. Just get a sense A dramatic fall. That is a good | :33:35. | :33:46. | |
got that structure, they're now coming down the other side. There is | :33:47. | :33:48. | |
a sense of game plan to mix up coming down the other side. There is | :33:49. | :33:53. | |
they do. That is a quality coming down the other side. There is | :33:54. | :33:56. | |
Corbyn. And it comes about through the speed of the passes. The speed | :33:57. | :34:00. | |
of the transition from the centre pass and they got it | :34:01. | :34:02. | |
of the transition from the centre the first phase and there was no one | :34:03. | :34:04. | |
at home for Jamaica. Aiken gets the penalty between the | :34:05. | :34:21. | |
posts. She misses and gets the second attempt. And her hair band | :34:22. | :34:30. | |
Just over nine minutes of the first pause while that goes back on. | :34:31. | :34:43. | |
Just over nine minutes of the first half remaining in in this bronze | :34:44. | :34:58. | |
medal match. The Jamaica defence lost their pattern there. A chance | :34:59. | :35:00. | |
for England. That is the player from Scotland. | :35:01. | :36:28. | |
And behind her, the player from Barbados. A lot of teams are keen to | :36:29. | :36:39. | |
see these medal matches. The Trinidad and Tobago side are here as | :36:40. | :36:44. | |
well, the Northern Irish side, the Wales team. | :36:45. | :37:49. | |
Such a reliance on Paula Thompson to bring this all through the court. We | :37:50. | :38:01. | |
have seen her taken off at half-time in matches where she has been | :38:02. | :38:06. | |
pulling the strings, and Jamaica have subsequently struggled in the | :38:07. | :38:11. | |
third quarter. Fascinating to see if they do the same here. This is a | :38:12. | :38:16. | |
really tight game that England and Jamaica are playing at the SSC. That | :38:17. | :38:21. | |
-- SSE Hydro Arena. A chance for Jamaica to take the | :38:22. | :39:54. | |
lead once again in this second quarter. | :39:55. | :40:21. | |
Quality work by Jamaica. Being made to work very hard by England. | :40:22. | :40:35. | |
Jamaica take the lead again, the sixth change of lead we have had in | :40:36. | :40:45. | |
the game. A very different feel to the semifinal England played | :40:46. | :40:51. | |
yesterday. Still an incredibly tight match. | :40:52. | :41:11. | |
Yesterday, England scored the first goal of the second half and led from | :41:12. | :41:16. | |
there until, as we know, the final two seconds of the game. | :41:17. | :41:59. | |
It is about trying to stay in the game, particularly in this area. | :42:00. | :42:43. | |
England need to try and get a goal here. They have only scored one in | :42:44. | :42:48. | |
the last six minutes of this second quarter. | :42:49. | :43:39. | |
If England can defend here, the start of the second half. And | :43:40. | :43:50. | |
that will be that. England have done a good job at the end of the second | :43:51. | :43:55. | |
quarter in terms of assuring possession at the start of the | :43:56. | :43:59. | |
second half. It is a one goal game, just as it was against New Zealand | :44:00. | :44:00. | |
in the semifinal. So, two quarters, six lead changes, | :44:01. | :44:19. | |
one goal between them. We will come back with all the half-time action | :44:20. | :44:25. | |
with Pamela Cookey in a minute. First, the news headlines from | :44:26. | :44:26. | |
around the world. We've got factory boys and butchers' | :44:27. | :44:28. | |
apprentices and office clerks Don't stop moving! | :44:29. | :44:32. | |
If you go back you'll die! Back to the netball after a quick | :44:33. | :45:01. | |
update. Israel says the soldier it accused Palestinian militants of | :45:02. | :45:05. | |
killing is dead. He was killed in action. The UN is warning of a | :45:06. | :45:09. | |
health disaster in Gaza. New measures to target bogus claims | :45:10. | :45:16. | |
for whiplash. Fees for the compensation culture to be capped. | :45:17. | :45:20. | |
England are guaranteed top slot in the medals table at the games. | :45:21. | :45:24. | |
Australia can no longer beat them. England have not done that since | :45:25. | :45:27. | |
1986. In football, Frank Lampard is a | :45:28. | :45:33. | |
Manchester City player. Full it is because the American system does not | :45:34. | :45:39. | |
start until March. And Manchester City -- Manchester | :45:40. | :45:41. | |
United's friendly against Real Madrid had the biggest | :45:42. | :45:41. | |
United's friendly against Real audience in the US. Now back to the | :45:42. | :45:47. | |
third quarter from the live netball in Glasgow. | :45:48. | :45:52. | |
Yeah, I am looking for a Prince Charming. | :45:53. | :45:54. | |
I don't think I'm ugly, but I don't think I'm, like, really pretty. | :45:55. | :45:58. | |
I say, "You've got something on your bum." "Really?" And I say, | :45:59. | :46:03. | |
Hello and welcome back. I don't want to put you off, but if you were | :46:04. | :46:37. | |
looking for a relaxing way to spend your Sunday morning, I am not sure | :46:38. | :46:41. | |
if England versus Jamaica is the blister B. Pamela Cookey joins me, | :46:42. | :46:45. | |
the England captain who is currently injured at the moment. How are your | :46:46. | :46:53. | |
nerves? I can't do it! The girls started so well. They went up two | :46:54. | :46:57. | |
goals, and then they let you make a comeback in. They can't break that | :46:58. | :47:03. | |
two barrier. Every time they up, Jamaica bullet back. -- they pull it | :47:04. | :47:13. | |
back. It is incredibly tight. We have had six lead changes in the | :47:14. | :47:18. | |
first two quarters. This is it. With the Jamaica side, if you let them | :47:19. | :47:22. | |
stay with you, they will keep egging. If you get that early lead, | :47:23. | :47:27. | |
they tend to fade away. So we are seeing Jamaica thinking, we are | :47:28. | :47:39. | |
still in this. But we are seeing England down our end of the court, | :47:40. | :47:45. | |
trying to get some angles. How happy have you been with the way England | :47:46. | :47:49. | |
conducted themselves today, especially after coming back from | :47:50. | :47:53. | |
that defeat? You might have seen some teams come out depressed, but | :47:54. | :47:56. | |
the girls have come out really up for it. Sara Bayman in the centre | :47:57. | :48:01. | |
has really given the team 's energy. Some fastballs from her as well. | :48:02. | :48:09. | |
These are the triangles they are using, really opening up the circle | :48:10. | :48:14. | |
for Kadeen Corbin. And Jamaica, as you said, as soon as it gets | :48:15. | :48:18. | |
anywhere near Romelda Aiken, it is only doing one place, which tends to | :48:19. | :48:23. | |
be in. Exactly. They are a very athletic side. They charge their way | :48:24. | :48:28. | |
around the court. Is that unsettling for the other is against them? It | :48:29. | :48:33. | |
can be tough, because it is difficult to know where the ball is | :48:34. | :48:35. | |
going to land. They are very unorthodox. They can pluck the ball | :48:36. | :48:40. | |
out of the air with their aerial ability. How often do these girls | :48:41. | :48:43. | |
play against each other in tournaments? Romelda Aiken is in the | :48:44. | :48:49. | |
ANZ league with a couple of our girls, so they play against each | :48:50. | :48:52. | |
other week in, week out. Apart from a couple of Test series where we | :48:53. | :48:57. | |
come across Jamaica, they are quite a few. What will happen in the next | :48:58. | :49:01. | |
half? The girls need to come out really strong again, like they | :49:02. | :49:04. | |
started. They need to wish Jamaica on their defence so there is less of | :49:05. | :49:09. | |
an opportunity to get the ball to Romelda Aiken. The final quarter is | :49:10. | :49:24. | |
obviously the one where you really want to be leading, but this is a | :49:25. | :49:27. | |
good time to get that lead and extend it and unnerved Jamaica. | :49:28. | :49:33. | |
Definitely. If you can get five or six goals up on Jamaica, they will | :49:34. | :49:40. | |
fall down. The third quarter is a big one for them. It can determine | :49:41. | :49:47. | |
who wins or loses. What do you think Jamaica's main weakness is? Is it | :49:48. | :49:51. | |
that they let their heads drop when things are not going their way? That | :49:52. | :49:55. | |
is definitely it. There are real ability and skill when they are on | :49:56. | :50:00. | |
it, they can go for gold. If you can get that early lead and make them | :50:01. | :50:04. | |
work hard, you can pull away from them. Every time England score, the | :50:05. | :50:09. | |
atmosphere in the is incredible. You would think we were actually in the | :50:10. | :50:14. | |
stadium in England. It is amazing. The girls will really feed off this. | :50:15. | :50:18. | |
Every time they get the ball, there is a big roar. I am tired, just | :50:19. | :50:27. | |
watching! For efest every cheer there is some critical notes, | :50:28. | :50:32. | |
because you're seeing it in a different way. What are you looking | :50:33. | :50:37. | |
for? This is a basic error, the girls need to lock in on the basics | :50:38. | :50:42. | |
and give that first time release pass. If you look at it too much, | :50:43. | :50:47. | |
the Jamaica will turn it over. We need to make sure there is more than | :50:48. | :50:52. | |
one option so the passer can pick the best option. As soon as it gets | :50:53. | :51:00. | |
here Romelda Aiken, that is when the trouble starts. What will be being | :51:01. | :51:07. | |
said? We can see the girls. What is this all about. What would you be | :51:08. | :51:11. | |
saying? Making keeping the basics and doing the basics well. We need | :51:12. | :51:18. | |
two options for ball so the passer can have that option. When the ja | :51:19. | :51:30. | |
may caps -- Jamaicans work together they're strong. There is Jo Harten, | :51:31. | :51:38. | |
she had some nervy moments, but she came back. It is all about holding | :51:39. | :51:46. | |
your nerve? Yes, Jo has had to step up and be one of the senior players | :51:47. | :51:52. | |
and she went to every rebound. And the girls will need her to sink the | :51:53. | :51:57. | |
shots. She can catch the ball, turn and put it up. This is an | :51:58. | :52:02. | |
interesting situation. You would have wanted to play. When you're in | :52:03. | :52:08. | |
a position of almost being a spectator, do you make notes and | :52:09. | :52:12. | |
have to go back after the Commonwealth Games and almost report | :52:13. | :52:15. | |
back to the girls about their strengths and weaknesses? I have had | :52:16. | :52:19. | |
the chance to meet them throughout the competition since I got here. | :52:20. | :52:24. | |
Just to give a bit of my take on what I'm seeing and I think that has | :52:25. | :52:28. | |
been helpful. They have all before, like, Pam, we miss you! But I have | :52:29. | :52:34. | |
been watching and taking notes. After this we need to go back to the | :52:35. | :52:39. | |
board, look into it and think how we are going to progress. They're | :52:40. | :52:45. | |
pumped up. Jamaica are standing off the court having a talk. England | :52:46. | :52:49. | |
have come right on to court to have a talk. It is stamping your | :52:50. | :53:00. | |
presence. Show you're ready to go. And now back for the final half. It | :53:01. | :53:09. | |
will be a nerve racking one. COMMENTATOR: We have just 30 minutes | :53:10. | :53:17. | |
left. A change in goal defence for England. Stacey Francis in for Eboni | :53:18. | :53:36. | |
Beckford-Chambers. We wait for the umpires. They will bring the ball on | :53:37. | :53:40. | |
to the court. There is stay si Francis. -- Stacey Francis. She has | :53:41. | :53:49. | |
appeared in five of the six games England have played. And the second | :53:50. | :53:55. | |
half gets under way with England trailing Jamaica by just one goal. | :53:56. | :54:20. | |
The one change for England, Stacey Francis on in goal defence in place | :54:21. | :54:29. | |
of Eboni Beckford-Chambers. Now Jamaica lead by two. Anita, seeing | :54:30. | :54:37. | |
those 14 goals in has tried to change something. I guess just to | :54:38. | :54:42. | |
mix up the style of defence and Beckford-Chambers caught on some | :54:43. | :54:47. | |
contact penalties. Maybe that tally too high for the coach and wanting | :54:48. | :54:51. | |
to see a change in there. It will be interesting to see how Francis and | :54:52. | :54:54. | |
Mentor match up. Oh, that is a beautiful take from | :54:55. | :55:09. | |
Thompson. She saw that one coming and committed early | :55:10. | :55:26. | |
Good response from Jamaica. Just again this key player, Paula | :55:27. | :55:37. | |
Thompson holding off. Coming through the line of the ball. | :55:38. | :55:48. | |
In the key games Thompson has played nearly every | :55:49. | :55:58. | |
single minute of them. They're starting | :55:59. | :56:07. | |
working the ball side. Beckford getting a free pass through | :56:08. | :56:33. | |
there. England need to put strong arms over that. Jamaica lead by four | :56:34. | :56:36. | |
for the second time in arms over that. Jamaica lead by four | :56:37. | :56:40. | |
They led by four in the first quarter. England being asked a few | :56:41. | :56:47. | |
They led by four in the first questions. And they still are | :56:48. | :56:47. | |
struggling. Just using Beckford a bit more. | :56:48. | :57:00. | |
Well, what a miss that is from Aiken and the reaction probably tells you | :57:01. | :57:05. | |
she doesn't agree with the decision. That coupled with her disappointment | :57:06. | :57:10. | |
at missing a straight forward shot by some distance. | :57:11. | :57:21. | |
Corbyn opens her account at the first time of asking in the second | :57:22. | :57:28. | |
half. A quality ball and good sense in putting the ball back there by by | :57:29. | :57:31. | |
aman, taking -- Bayman. No problem for Jo Harten. The two | :57:32. | :57:57. | |
shooters combining well. When one misses, the other just puts the | :57:58. | :58:07. | |
rebound away. Stacey Francis showing Herath let sichl -- her athleticism. | :58:08. | :58:18. | |
Mentor commits to the 50/50 with Williams and it goes Francis' way. | :58:19. | :58:28. | |
Good support, Francis. She has found the form and she is just supporting | :58:29. | :58:34. | |
well with Guthrie as a key player on the other line. | :58:35. | :58:42. | |
Sasha Corbyn on the shooter side of Harten. And England once again claw | :58:43. | :58:53. | |
back a four-goal deficit to get it back on centre. A magnificent pass | :58:54. | :59:03. | |
by Harten. England are back on level terms - 28-28. Jo Harten trying to | :59:04. | :59:09. | |
lift the England side. It is about this defence. They can put the | :59:10. | :59:11. | |
pressure on at this point. Francis is just rolling around the | :59:12. | :59:42. | |
back. Jamaica stop the rot. And they take the lead once again. Good use | :59:43. | :59:50. | |
of the centre pass. The attack set much better. By aman sense -- by | :59:51. | :59:56. | |
aman senses. -- Bayman senses that. That would always be tough for | :59:57. | :00:20. | |
Francis. Not often out on a contact penalty, Mentor. Certainly in this | :00:21. | :00:21. | |
game. England go hunting for the | :00:22. | :00:32. | |
equalising goal, which they get. Jamaica struggling on the timing. | :00:33. | :00:48. | |
Thompson getting caught into the defensive pressure by England around | :00:49. | :00:56. | |
the ball. Good work from Mentor. But Thompson alert to pick up that | :00:57. | :00:57. | |
deflection. Again Thompson sees that movement. | :00:58. | :01:13. | |
Beckford misses. Aiken's there. Another miss from Aiken. Francis | :01:14. | :01:25. | |
moves out now. Would you believe it? Aiken needs a couple of chances at | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
this one. Finally puts it through. Just enough on the pass to Harten. | :01:28. | :01:53. | |
It is going to have to be quick here and the opportunity is gone for | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
England. They will have to work it to Harten again. | :01:58. | :02:07. | |
Good composure by Jo Harten, didn't want to shoot. Put the ball out. | :02:08. | :02:25. | |
Good play, Beckford. Just worked the ground again. But Francis is there. | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
She is ready for that type of move. Just caught o''en that one. -- | :02:33. | :02:42. | |
caught on that one. Both attacking units firing at the moment. The feed | :02:43. | :02:52. | |
through to the shooters is also working pretty freely for both sides | :02:53. | :02:53. | |
at the moment. Guthrie's doing a good job on | :02:54. | :03:08. | |
Thompson. Putting lots of pressure on. She is almost out of the game | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
when the shooters, particularly Romelda Aiken, is looking to be | :03:15. | :03:22. | |
supported. Defence just lost there for Jamaica. It is quality play by | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
England in attack. A change there, Harten leading to the back and | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
Corbyn coming the other way and well found. | :03:34. | :03:58. | |
This is the #1469 centre pass where the goal has gone the way it should. | :03:59. | :04:13. | |
-- 14th centre pass. A good take by Kadeen Corbin against Kelly. They | :04:14. | :04:27. | |
could be put through the ringer once again, the England fans. The Jamaica | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
fans haven't seen their side in a real tussle yet in this competition. | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
That may work to England's favour. It may not. Defends on how Jamaica | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
react under pressure. But they continue to find the goals when they | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
have the centre pass. That is what counts. | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
Corbin in lots of space. Not always being contested and Kelly on the | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
back foot. A couple of times England go back to the edge of the sickle | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
when perhaps they might be able to shoot. No harm done there. Another | :05:06. | :05:14. | |
fine shot from Kadeen Corbin. There is a lot of pressure object line -- | :05:15. | :05:21. | |
on the line from gut richlt it is bee-- on the line from Guthrie. It | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
on the line from gut richlt it is is much better. Corbin has been | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
averaging 72% in this competition, today up at 88. So a really | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
brilliant response from her to the disappointment of yesterday. | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
Absolutely. And it is about capitalising on the fact that Kelly | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
is often on the back foot. Looks as though she is struggling in terms of | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
fatigue. Not sure there is anything on the bench for Jamaica that could | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
replace Kelly. Kadeen Corbin is still asking for a | :05:57. | :07:01. | |
time-out. After the bang on the head by Malysha Kelly. Let's have another | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
look at this. Ooh. Let's hope she is OK to continue. | :07:07. | :07:44. | |
Youngest member of this England squad, just 22. That | :07:45. | :07:45. | |
Youngest member of this England perspective the maturity of her | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
response to the disappointment of yesterday. | :07:53. | :08:09. | |
This is really finally poised. England have never been more than | :08:10. | :08:18. | |
two goals in front. It is almost a role reversal from yesterday, when | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
England were setting the pace. Today, they have been doing most of | :08:22. | :08:29. | |
the chasing. Absolutely, and Geva Mentor continues to work around | :08:30. | :08:30. | |
Romelda Aiken. A chance for England to take the | :08:31. | :08:46. | |
lead for the first time in the second half. | :08:47. | :09:38. | |
Good defensive pressure by England, but Romelda Aiken to the rescue | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
again for Jamaica. These two have been going goal for goal now for ten | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
minutes. Like heavyweight contest, slugging it out. Credit to both | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
sides. What a quarter of netball we have | :09:54. | :10:49. | |
witnessed! England are winning by -- 37-37 in this bronze medal match. | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
Well, NATO, take us through -- and later, take us through your | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
thoughts. Yes, more shooting a for Jamaica creeping in. If England | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
could just tighten up on some of the contact penalties, it is just about | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
that pressure that goes on outside the circle. | :11:10. | :11:27. | |
Good work by Stacey Francis. There was an initial error, but she | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
recovered well. Jamaica got the first three goals of the quarter. | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
Then England hit back with four to level things up. That was after five | :11:40. | :11:48. | |
minutes of the third quarter. Then they went goal for goal. A brilliant | :11:49. | :12:02. | |
passage of play. It will be interesting to see if we can hear | :12:03. | :12:12. | |
what Joe McIntosh is saying. -- Jill McIntosh. Attack this, play like we | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
know we can! Let the ball go, build confidence. Take it through, let the | :12:19. | :12:31. | |
ball go. Let's go! Well, you could hear their, Jill McIntosh talking | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
about belief, Anna Mayes trying to ref up 13. -- 13. -- she was trying | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
to ref up her team. Jamaica not so much under the cosh | :12:45. | :12:56. | |
in their semi against Australia in terms of trying to eat out that win. | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
This is it, just 15 minutes of play to decide the destination of the | :13:03. | :13:12. | |
bronze medal. Will it be England, will it be Jamaica? There is nothing | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
to split these two after 45 minutes of play. It is ingesting, just the | :13:17. | :13:25. | |
calmness that you'll McIntosh pushed through the players, just wanting | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
them to keep control, support each other. Sharp contrast. Here we go, | :13:29. | :13:39. | |
the final 15 minutes of play for both England and Jamaica at these | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
Commonwealth Games, the bronze medal match is essentially a 15 minute | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
shoot out. After 45 minutes of play, there is nothing to choose between | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
the two. They have been going goal for goal for the last ten minutes. | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
And England take the lead. Jamaica unable to score a goal, so | :14:01. | :14:27. | |
England get the advantage of having the first centre pass in this | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
quarter. That was an offside. The first | :14:31. | :15:17. | |
mistake comes from England. Clever, Jo Harten just letting the ball roll | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
through. So England do not pay the price for the first mistake. | :15:24. | :15:45. | |
This game is so tight that it might only boil down to just that one | :15:46. | :15:54. | |
turnover from Geva Mentor or Stacey Francis. England are back in front. | :15:55. | :16:09. | |
The crowd here at the SSE Hydro are enjoying this one. Credit to Stacey | :16:10. | :16:20. | |
Francis. Good work from Stacey Francis. She | :16:21. | :16:46. | |
uses her athleticism to get in front of Jamaica. And then tries to go | :16:47. | :16:57. | |
around Romelda Aiken. Let's have another look. Just unfortunate. It | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
is the bounce on a floor like this and you try and play that speedy | :17:06. | :17:06. | |
ball that does not always get there. and you try and play that speedy | :17:07. | :17:21. | |
And Jamaica get the goal to keep us on centre pass. | :17:22. | :17:30. | |
England have turned possession over. Now the pressure starts to | :17:31. | :17:39. | |
increase on both sets of players. She a fighter Sara Bayman. She was | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
doing whatever she can to try and disrupt this play from Jamaica. | :17:45. | :17:57. | |
We are on the verge of having 15 minutes of play where we have been | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
going goal for goal for the entire quarter. And she scores! Jamaica in | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
front by one. And Kadeen Corbin gets us back on | :18:11. | :19:01. | |
level terms. Thompson just getting confused. | :19:02. | :19:28. | |
replaced. Jamaica have kept the same seven throughout. They can't look on | :19:29. | :19:37. | |
the Jamaica bench! Good pressure defensively. England still able to | :19:38. | :19:49. | |
work the ball. Good work from Nicole Aiken-Pinnock. | :19:50. | :19:57. | |
We are in for another nerve-wracking gain. | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
centre pass, a chance for them to get up by two. They're up on their | :20:02. | :20:37. | |
feet. There is so much support for England here. The support body, | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
Sport England, everybody willing England on. But Jamaica are keeping | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
possession. They're also keeping their shape better than I have seen | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
them do in a while at this tournament. | :20:52. | :21:08. | |
Jamaica lead by two. Pressure on England here now. Francis does well | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
to bring that under control. Shouts of encouragement from the | :21:15. | :21:43. | |
bench. She Vince minutes remain in the match and Kadeen Corbin calls a | :21:44. | :22:02. | |
time out. -- she Vince -- seven minutes remain. They know how close | :22:03. | :22:13. | |
this is. And what a result this would be for Jamaica. The last time | :22:14. | :22:22. | |
they got the better of England in a bronze medal match was at the world | :22:23. | :22:38. | |
champs in Auckland in 2007. And it is looking very heated in that | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
huddle. England beat Jamaica at Wembley in London in January. And in | :22:44. | :22:52. | |
the world champs in Singapore. So Jamaica have been on the receiving | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
end for a while now. So they would dearly love to get one up on their | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
nearest rivals in the world standings on the biggest stage of | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
them all. Or one of the biggest stages. | :23:09. | :23:24. | |
It has gone against England. The crowd are venting their thoughts on | :23:25. | :23:42. | |
the decision. Jamaica are trying to find Aiken as the target. Beckford | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
electing not to shoot. There is plenty of time in this one, as | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
England will know from yesterday. It is their turn now not to panic and | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
try and use this ball. We saw yesterday when New Zealand were | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
trying to get that winning goal, even though time was running out, | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
they looked like they had all the time in the world. | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
That is better. Elected not to take that risk shot. Worked away to the | :24:11. | :24:18. | |
post. Excellent play. They didn't do that yesterday and credit to her for | :24:19. | :24:20. | |
learning so quickly. This is quality defence from | :24:21. | :24:38. | |
England. Jamaica just holding on to possession. Credit to Jamaica, they | :24:39. | :24:52. | |
worked through that effectively. Cool heads required here from | :24:53. | :24:54. | |
England. They continue to keep that cool | :24:55. | :25:07. | |
head. Just the one turn over required for them. Five minutes | :25:08. | :25:18. | |
remain in this bronze medal match. Another magnificent game of netball | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
here at the 20th Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. | :25:22. | :25:33. | |
The final ten minutes of the third quarter, the first five of this | :25:34. | :25:43. | |
fourth quarter and just the one turnover separates these two sides | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
and for England, they're chasing the game. Some great quality ball | :25:47. | :25:55. | |
through from Sasha Corbin to Jo Harten. This is the pressure point | :25:56. | :25:57. | |
for Jamaica. Kadeen Corbin levels it for England, | :25:58. | :26:39. | |
or keeps them within that one goal. England need that turnover. They | :26:40. | :26:46. | |
will probably get about three or four more chants. | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
-- chants. Aiken is so good on the rebound. Some great defensive work | :26:53. | :27:04. | |
by England. They need to keep the pressure on. For the Jamaica the | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
same, they have covered the first phase of England's pass. But this | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
long ball through to Harten is unstoppable. Romelda Aiken has | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
long ball through to Harten is nine attacking rebounds. England | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
have manageped just one defensive rebound - managed just one defensive | :27:23. | :27:24. | |
rebound in this match so far. England need to look after this and | :27:25. | :28:02. | |
they have given that ball. Thompson is just hanging around the mix of | :28:03. | :28:04. | |
play. The throw in to Jamaica. There to turn this possession over. | :28:05. | :28:21. | |
Because it will be a long way back. If they go three down. Beckford just | :28:22. | :28:30. | |
rolled around the front there. They are three down. It is a Jamaica | :28:31. | :28:34. | |
centre pass. England simply have to turn this possession over. Otherwise | :28:35. | :28:41. | |
they're going to come away with nothing. | :28:42. | :28:52. | |
They need Because this is Jamaica's centre | :28:53. | :29:02. | |
pass. It is Paula Thompson, who has worked tirelessly in that centre | :29:03. | :29:06. | |
position for Jamaica. A four-goal lead with just over a minute | :29:07. | :29:11. | |
remaining. England have a mountain to climb here. | :29:12. | :29:18. | |
They're running out of team, England. Now, they need turn over. | :29:19. | :29:23. | |
They need turnover quickly. England. Now, they need turn over. | :29:24. | :29:32. | |
a sense Jamaica will start to try and line ball to Aiken. This you | :29:33. | :29:40. | |
feel will seal the bronze for Jamaica. They're celebrating opt | :29:41. | :29:44. | |
bench already. They feel the bronze is in their pocket. Francis is down | :29:45. | :29:50. | |
and we are into the final 30 seconds. Bayman trying to haul the | :29:51. | :29:57. | |
team through. And that miss gives Jamaica the bronze. It is going to | :29:58. | :29:59. | |
be heartbreak for England. Jamaica the bronze. It is going to | :30:00. | :30:03. | |
come so close. They wanted to fight for gold and they're going to come | :30:04. | :30:10. | |
away with nothing. There it goes. The game was lost before then. You | :30:11. | :30:13. | |
can't blame Guthrie for trying The game was lost before then. You | :30:14. | :30:18. | |
force the issue. It is a scrappy finish. But Jamaica have got there. | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
force the issue. It is a scrappy It is all over! And | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
force the issue. It is a scrappy beaten England too the bronze medal | :30:27. | :30:33. | |
here in Glasgow. Despair for England. Unbridled joy for the | :30:34. | :30:42. | |
sunshine girls! And the world number four has beaten the world number | :30:43. | :30:45. | |
three and England get that sinking feeling for the second time in 24 | :30:46. | :30:52. | |
hours. Yes. Desperate times England there. But credit to Jamaica they | :30:53. | :30:57. | |
worked hard. They hit England with Mentor. It was a tough ask. Romelda | :30:58. | :31:09. | |
Aiken scoring 44 of the 52 that Jamaica scored. Take nothing from | :31:10. | :31:16. | |
England. Harten shot at 90%. Corbin at 85. It was just the defence of | :31:17. | :31:21. | |
Jamaica. When England got the ball through, the shooters were coining | :31:22. | :31:27. | |
the -- doing the business. But they didn't get enough chances. Some calm | :31:28. | :31:38. | |
words from Jo Mackintosh at critical times. Jamaica won this game. They | :31:39. | :31:44. | |
just had a better game plan on the day. It is not. It will be | :31:45. | :31:49. | |
heart-breaking for England, but they didn't have as many shooting | :31:50. | :31:54. | |
opportunities. They had 55 compared to 67. So sadly for them, it is no | :31:55. | :32:01. | |
bronze. Delight for Jamaica. The final score England 48, Jamaica 52. | :32:02. | :32:14. | |
Whereas England may have felt they lost the games against Australia and | :32:15. | :32:18. | |
New Zealand. I don't think they will feel they have lost this one. | :32:19. | :32:24. | |
Jamaica have won it. Yes, they retained possession. They won the | :32:25. | :32:27. | |
ball. There was a solid line of defence from Guthrie and Bayman. | :32:28. | :32:34. | |
Let's not take it from Jamaica. England put out some great play. But | :32:35. | :32:38. | |
Jamaica just held on in the mid court and worked the ball patiently | :32:39. | :32:42. | |
to Aiken. The last time the Commonwealth Games was in the United | :32:43. | :32:49. | |
Kingdom, Jamaica got the better of England in the bronze medal match | :32:50. | :32:54. | |
and they do it again here in Glasgow. And well, what a shot of | :32:55. | :33:02. | |
the Jamaican team and credit to their coaching staff. They had the | :33:03. | :33:06. | |
game plan and their side executed it to perfection. No changes. The same | :33:07. | :33:11. | |
seven all the way through. England tried to change it up and ask | :33:12. | :33:16. | |
different questions of Jamaica. As they had to do. Jamaica had the | :33:17. | :33:24. | |
answers today. Interesting Jill Mackintosh removing Paula Thompson | :33:25. | :33:27. | |
from the game previously and chatting to her. She sensed she | :33:28. | :33:31. | |
shouldn't have done it. She did it because of fatigue to other players. | :33:32. | :33:38. | |
She knew Thompson needed to stay on that court. What disappointment for | :33:39. | :33:46. | |
England. But they had to take away the positives, which is they pushed | :33:47. | :33:52. | |
the world's top two very close and on another day may have got over the | :33:53. | :33:58. | |
line. But that first game against Australia was crucial. Had they won | :33:59. | :34:03. | |
that, they would have avoided New Zealand in the semi final. But who | :34:04. | :34:08. | |
is to say Jamaica wouldn't have won the semi. But the results are what | :34:09. | :34:15. | |
they are and England it is nothing for all their efforts in Glasgow. | :34:16. | :34:21. | |
Here are the final stats. Shooting attempts at 67 for Jamaica. | :34:22. | :34:26. | |
Percentages lower. Just not creating the opportunities. We see lots of | :34:27. | :34:31. | |
ponest penalties given away. Just the sheer nature of what jaichl did. | :34:32. | :34:43. | |
-- just the sheer nature of what Jamaica did. | :34:44. | :34:53. | |
I have some disappointed England players with me. Sum up the | :34:54. | :35:02. | |
emotions. I'm pretty emotionless. That summed up this campaign. I'm | :35:03. | :35:08. | |
proud of the girls. We achieved a lot but to not finish it today is, I | :35:09. | :35:14. | |
kpt even put it into words. It was brutal and we weren't able to stand | :35:15. | :35:23. | |
the pressure. I have a fat lip and probably a shiner. But we weren't | :35:24. | :35:34. | |
able to finish it off. England have had so many battles over the last 11 | :35:35. | :35:38. | |
days. Do you think the team were starting to feel that? We probably | :35:39. | :35:42. | |
were, but we need to be able to deal with that. That is what sport is | :35:43. | :35:46. | |
about. Physically, we were fresh enough to come out today and put on | :35:47. | :35:50. | |
a good performance. But from the first whistle, we were hesitant with | :35:51. | :35:54. | |
the ball. We have not been finishing off as a whole. Thanks very much. | :35:55. | :36:03. | |
Another disappointed young ladies with me. How are you feeling? Really | :36:04. | :36:10. | |
gutted. We should have got it, but today was not our day. We had too | :36:11. | :36:13. | |
many errors that we could have turned over. That is what happens. | :36:14. | :36:24. | |
Why do you think Jamaica were stronger than you? It was so close. | :36:25. | :36:26. | |
You were trading goals 141. For us, the long balls should not | :36:27. | :36:42. | |
have gone in. Credit to them. We just could have had more hands up. | :36:43. | :36:46. | |
Your own performance, have you been pleased with that? I am pleased with | :36:47. | :36:52. | |
my performance. This is my first Commonwealths, so I am proud of | :36:53. | :36:55. | |
where I have come. The team have helped me throughout. I was just | :36:56. | :37:01. | |
excited to be here. I am happy that I performed the best I can for | :37:02. | :37:05. | |
everyone to see around the world. There was nothing more I could | :37:06. | :37:09. | |
give. Thank you so much for speaking to us. Oh, my goodness, I am up | :37:10. | :37:15. | |
there with Pamela Cookey. Hercules is better, but her heart and nerves | :37:16. | :37:21. | |
are frayed. You must be the same? Absolute league gutted. The girls | :37:22. | :37:24. | |
are better than their performance put out today. It was a hard task to | :37:25. | :37:29. | |
get back after running New Zealand so close yesterday. Unfortunately, | :37:30. | :37:35. | |
we did not play our best netball today. Credit to Jamaica. I was | :37:36. | :37:40. | |
saying to Geva, you have been in so many battles throughout these 11 | :37:41. | :37:44. | |
days. Do you think that was starting to take an effect on the girls | :37:45. | :37:47. | |
physically and emotionally, because it has been a roller-coaster? Yes, | :37:48. | :37:53. | |
they tried to throw everything into every game. We have to make sure | :37:54. | :37:57. | |
that is the way it is. If you lose a semifinal, you have to get a cup. | :37:58. | :38:03. | |
But credit to them, they did. We had to be clinical and ended up under | :38:04. | :38:08. | |
pressure. When we were on it defensively, we put them under | :38:09. | :38:11. | |
pressure, but credit to Jamaica for grinding out that win. How do you | :38:12. | :38:16. | |
move on from that? You have got longer than 24 hours this time. We | :38:17. | :38:20. | |
will look closely in terms of longer than 24 hours this time. We | :38:21. | :38:23. | |
we must possession. I think at times, we were a bit hesitant. The | :38:24. | :38:28. | |
nerves got the better of us in the first half. Kadeen Corbin really | :38:29. | :38:38. | |
turned things around. Some of the critics spoke about her yesterday, | :38:39. | :38:41. | |
but she stood up today. Bad luck today, but thank you for talking to | :38:42. | :38:51. | |
us. Thank you for coming | :38:52. | :38:57. | |
us. Jamaica. Some of your feelings? Also | :38:58. | :39:02. | |
us. I am feeling right now -- or some is | :39:03. | :39:03. | |
just I am feeling right now -- or some is | :39:04. | :39:08. | |
decided we are not going home without a medal. And in terms of the | :39:09. | :39:14. | |
games that you girls played to get here, you have not been involved in | :39:15. | :39:17. | |
many here, you have not been involved in | :39:18. | :39:21. | |
England have. Were you fresh out there and more determined, do you | :39:22. | :39:25. | |
think? Or is it just on the day that really matters. Well, on the day, | :39:26. | :39:30. | |
think? Or is it just on the day that really matters. I did not play | :39:31. | :39:31. | |
yesterday in that semifinal, really matters. I did not play | :39:32. | :39:35. | |
was fresh off the bench and my team needed me. And in terms of | :39:36. | :39:41. | |
composure, you know that as soon as the ball gets into that circle, it | :39:42. | :39:45. | |
is going one place, and that is in. the ball gets into that circle, it | :39:46. | :39:52. | |
Yes. I was most confident. Once my sister has the ball, I am confident. | :39:53. | :39:57. | |
How will you celebrate tonight before you head back to Jamaica? The | :39:58. | :40:01. | |
party seems to have already started. I think | :40:02. | :40:05. | |
party seems to have already started. wine! Actually, we have to reflect | :40:06. | :40:08. | |
on what went wrong in this tournament. There were some errors | :40:09. | :40:12. | |
that we need to tidy up as a team moving forward. We are going to the | :40:13. | :40:18. | |
world tournament next year and we have to go for the gold. You got the | :40:19. | :40:21. | |
bronze today. Congratulations. have to go for the gold. You got the | :40:22. | :40:25. | |
Well, it has been high drama down here at the Hydro. Now back to Dodi. | :40:26. | :40:30. | |
Well, that is the venue of the netball. Last night, it was a | :40:31. | :40:35. | |
boiling cauldron netball. Last night, it was a | :40:36. | :40:39. | |
boxing finals and two fellas here who won gold. Josh, | :40:40. | :40:47. | |
A smashed down the Gilmore forehand side. She is playing that shot with | :40:48. | :45:57. | |
a backhand which is one of her basic shots. She must try to avoid | :45:58. | :46:04. | |
Michelle being able to attack that forehand side. | :46:05. | :46:20. | |
The attacking play was her only answer. Look at that jump in the | :46:21. | :46:26. | |
air! That is one of the few net exchanges | :46:27. | :47:31. | |
that Gilmour has won. But look at the follow-up. She is adding more | :47:32. | :47:39. | |
pressure on Michelle Li when playing that shot. She is ready, which means | :47:40. | :47:46. | |
Michelle can see it and she wants to play desperately tight. | :47:47. | :48:22. | |
Well, it is the same scoreline as game number one at the mid-game | :48:23. | :48:26. | |
interval. They were saying, now go for it. She | :48:27. | :49:21. | |
has no option. She has got to go all-out, because Michelle Li is | :49:22. | :49:27. | |
playing quite brilliantly. And somehow, Gilmour has got to disturb | :49:28. | :49:28. | |
the rhythm of the Canadian. Wonderful variation here. Rather | :49:29. | :49:49. | |
than going down the line on the forehand, she chose to go across | :49:50. | :49:52. | |
court and then smash straight into the backhand side. That is really | :49:53. | :49:54. | |
good badminton, clever play. the backhand side. That is really | :49:55. | :50:00. | |
never know what is coming. Michelle Li | :50:01. | :50:36. | |
is losing her way. The pressure from Michelle Li is overpowering. Whether | :50:37. | :50:44. | |
Kirsty Gilmour chose the best side first or whether she is standing on | :50:45. | :50:50. | |
the not so good side for herbsing -- for her, I don't think that will | :50:51. | :51:05. | |
make a difference. That is superb. The disguise on the reverse slice | :51:06. | :51:11. | |
drop shot. Look again how early she takes that and just caresses it | :51:12. | :51:13. | |
across court. She tried to play that net shot with | :51:14. | :51:31. | |
a bit of surprise by just She tried to play that net shot with | :51:32. | :51:41. | |
drop. Yeah. The selection was good, the execution let | :51:42. | :52:11. | |
Still the fans play their part trying to lift Kirsty Gilmour. But a | :52:12. | :52:23. | |
ten point deficit. Well she would need the sort of heroics of | :52:24. | :52:30. | |
yesterday hen she went on the rampage from ten straight points | :52:31. | :52:36. | |
Her opponent yesterday was very different context. | :52:37. | :52:45. | |
Her opponent yesterday was very tired from her | :52:46. | :52:47. | |
Her opponent yesterday was very Here we have a 100% Michelle Li and | :52:48. | :52:55. | |
it is a completely different context. | :52:56. | :53:18. | |
Well, it looks very much as if Michelle Li is going to come out on | :53:19. | :53:29. | |
top on this match. I know that Kirsty Gilmour will be disappointed, | :53:30. | :53:33. | |
but she shouldn't be, because Michelle Li has just played too | :53:34. | :53:39. | |
well. But also been given the option here. Kirsty Gilmour must never go | :53:40. | :53:44. | |
cross court. She has been punished so many times. That is what I don't | :53:45. | :53:47. | |
get. She must keep these straight lines | :53:48. | :54:00. | |
and keep it away from that forehand. But it is way too late now and she | :54:01. | :54:05. | |
has got to look at this match later on and then learn from it and we | :54:06. | :54:12. | |
will see a lot stronger Kirsty Gilmour in the years to come. But | :54:13. | :54:14. | |
this one is beyond her as I see it. We should put it into context, | :54:15. | :54:35. | |
Kirsty Gilmour is only the third player, or pair, to contest a | :54:36. | :54:42. | |
Commonwealth Games final. Only once previously has Scotland won a medal | :54:43. | :54:47. | |
in the women's singles. That was in 2006 for Susan Hughes. She has done | :54:48. | :54:52. | |
remarkably well. The net play of Michelle Li, the | :54:53. | :55:13. | |
touch and the the spinning shots where the shuttle goes upside down | :55:14. | :55:20. | |
over the net. Look at that shuttle spinning ferociously. | :55:21. | :55:41. | |
Mistimed that and the whole body language. Gilmour now resigned to | :55:42. | :55:53. | |
defeat. Match point opportunities. Well, inciting the crowd to still | :55:54. | :56:00. | |
have belief. I think that is a little optimistic now. | :56:01. | :56:16. | |
And Michelle Li creates history. The first Canadian ever to win a gold | :56:17. | :56:55. | |
medal in the women's singles at the badminton. Wonderful sportsmanship | :56:56. | :57:00. | |
at the end of the match. But quite simply Michelle Li was too good for | :57:01. | :57:10. | |
Kirsty Gilmour today. But she has achieved, Kirsty Gilmour, something | :57:11. | :57:15. | |
that no Scottish player has achieved before. A finalist in a singles | :57:16. | :57:23. | |
event at the badminton at the Commonwealth Games. But mish Li from | :57:24. | :57:27. | |
the start was outstanding. She was. Not only in this match, I think Shep | :57:28. | :57:32. | |
has played a -- I think she has played a wonderful tournament. The | :57:33. | :57:42. | |
semi final was a fantastic achievement. Sindhu is almost at the | :57:43. | :57:45. | |
top of the world at the moment. And that was a fine victory yesterday. | :57:46. | :57:58. | |
So I think she has deserved to win this tournament. Yes, I agree. A | :57:59. | :58:16. | |
standing ovation for Kirsty Gilmour. Well, the celebrations for the | :58:17. | :58:32. | |
Canadian will begin. Three previous times Canada have had a finalist at | :58:33. | :58:37. | |
the Commonwealth Games in the women's singles and three previous | :58:38. | :58:42. | |
times they have had to settle for silver. But here with Michelle Li, | :58:43. | :59:17. | |
silver has turned to gold. Both players seeing loved ones as they | :59:18. | :59:25. | |
depart the I Ree that -- the arena. Signing autographs. The silver | :59:26. | :59:35. | |
medal, aged 20. What will she do in years to come? She is a huge talent. | :59:36. | :59:51. | |
And she will only improve. So confirmation of the score. Michelle | :59:52. | :59:55. | |
Li has won the gold medal. Kirsty, thank you for joining us, a | :59:56. | :00:27. | |
tough day, but at least a silver to show for it? Yes, I can't be too | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
disappointed, but I think I knuckled down and gave so | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
disappointed, but I think I knuckled don't think I had much | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
disappointed, but I think I knuckled today. I tried my best, but | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
disappointed, but I think I knuckled been so full on | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
disappointed, but I think I knuckled I wasn't able to do it as I | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
disappointed, but I think I knuckled So disappointed. But | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
disappointed, but I think I knuckled yesterday that you had to lift | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
disappointed, but I think I knuckled yourself to a level you hadn't gone | :00:54. | :00:54. | |
to before. The crowd were on yourself to a level you hadn't gone | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
quite. The legs and the yourself to a level you hadn't gone | :01:00. | :01:00. | |
quite match up. Physically I feel yourself to a level you hadn't gone | :01:01. | :01:09. | |
out of me. But just the head didn't quite engage today. | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
out of me. But just the head didn't gave so much yesterday and | :01:15. | :01:15. | |
night. You did create history for Scotland here, so that is something | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
to take out of it. So how would you sum up your Glasgow 2014? Almost | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
perfect. But as perfect as I could have made it. I'm so happy with any | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
colour medal, because the field was quite strong. There was five or six | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
girls that were all challenging for three medals. To be in | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
girls that were all challenging for spot is great. Well done. Thank you. | :01:43. | :01:54. | |
Kirsty Gilmour finished in silver position against Michelle Li who was | :01:55. | :02:02. | |
just too good on the day. A lot of the athletes have performed well and | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
the general consensus is Glasgow as a host city has performed prosecute | :02:06. | :02:15. | |
which well. 5,882 miles a way, Rio are preparing for the Olympics in | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
just two years' time. In a few days, we will cross over an Olympic | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
threshold and be closer to Rio 2016 than we are to London 1220. Glasgow | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
has been a -- to London 2012. Glasgow has been a reminder of what | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
we can do hosting and competing at a multi-sport event. What a start for | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
the Commonwealth Games. But elite sport is a hard business. Far from | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
the medals and the cheering crowds, performance directors will assess | :02:54. | :03:02. | |
where we are on the road to Rio. So how much information can we glean | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
from the results in Glasgow? Daniel Keatings swinging straight and | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
swinging clean and keeping his rhythm. Gymnastics is stronger than | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
in London. You're aiming for the 90s. It | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
in London. You're aiming for the the top three in the world. Team | :03:28. | :03:38. | |
England win the final race. We have never won mens medley in 64 years. | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
The Australians have dominated and to have beat them and beat them by | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
quite a margin was unbelievably impressive. That has come | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
quite a margin was unbelievably belief, the training and the talent | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
we have got. There are some sports that as good as the results have | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
been will not be contested in the Olympics. So it is thank you from | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
Glasgow, but no thank you from Rio for bowls, netball and squash. The | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
gold medal goes to the world's No 2, Nick Matthew. The sports that do | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
cross over Commonwealth Games and Olympics have shown up varying | :04:18. | :04:26. | |
degrees of success. And concern. And Sir Bradley wig Bradley Wiggins have | :04:27. | :04:35. | |
to settle for this. Sir Bradley wig Bradley Wiggins have | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
to settle That is concern and that won't happen in time for Rio. A | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
coming of age for the 20-year-old. We have a new crop of people, that | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
is encouraging. I in names, 19, 20, 21 years of age. And come Rio what | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
they have learn here will stand them in good stead. I think all our | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
sports are shaping up well. UK Sport are quietly confident that we are | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
bench marking at least as well at this point as we were this point out | :05:05. | :05:15. | |
of London. That is a good sign. While Glasgow has offered healthy | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
competition, not all events are world-class, due to the absence of | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
some superpower, non-Commonwealth nations. That is not to say some of | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
the performances would not stand up when the world comes calling. This | :05:28. | :05:35. | |
is the Commonwealth Games, not the World Championships. All we can do | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
is look at the time is that the swimmers are doing, and they are | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
world-class. We have had four swimmers that our number-one ranked | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
in the world. We have real depth. The competition within the British | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
team is social from that not only are they fighting for places amongst | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
themselves to get on that team to go to places like the World | :05:55. | :05:55. | |
Championships and Olympics, to places like the World | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
Championships but they are so dominant, and the whole world is | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
looking at our home nations and saying, how are they getting these | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
results, and how are they producing performances not only with such | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
difficulty, but such fine execution? One thing is for sure in sport - you | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
can't stand still. So for all the success and disappointments, there | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
is always room for improvement, or a medal of any colour could be further | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
away than ever. It is good to have ambition, and I hope we come back | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
with a sack full of medals from Rio, but it will be tougher. We should | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
not be coy or naive about it. It is a tall order. Athletics is never | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
going to bring you 12 medallists. But I could still see us winning two | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
or three gold medals and four or five other medals, or slightly | :06:45. | :06:54. | |
improving on what we did in London. So many people have stepped up to | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
the plate. At 18, 19 or 20, there I lot of swimmers that in two years' | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
time, will arguably be in their prime, if not in another four years. | :07:04. | :07:13. | |
Adam Peaty beats the world record-holder! From 2007 - 2012, | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
that cannot be the same again. Beneath to be something new, and | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
they are still trying to find out what that is. They have some of the | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
right ingredients, but they do not have the strong leader in place to | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
make the right decisions. Gold in Glasgow for England! Now, we are | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
getting a lot more specialists. You have Lewis Smith and what have you | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
that you would always associate with the Commonwealth, but now we have | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
Louis Smith on six pieces of apparatus. So for that reason, as | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
far as the medal table is concerned, we have a shout on every piece. So | :07:53. | :08:03. | |
where does that leave us? UK sport have been very public about their | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
goal to be the first country to win more Olympic medals at the games | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
after hosting, and that, by any measure, comes under the heading of | :08:14. | :08:22. | |
ambitious. Well, there is the target for gold | :08:23. | :08:30. | |
medals in two years' time in Rio. Glasgow 2014 is almost finished, but | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
there are still plenty of medals to be won today and many opportunities | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
to keep up with all the action. Be part of the excitement from the | :08:39. | :08:44. | |

p.m., when I hand over to Manish Bhasin, who will take you through to | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
seven this evening. We also want you to send us your # pictures as well. | :09:21. | :09:33. | |
This one was with none other than Usain. ! Put that in your favourites | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
and do not delete. This was Danny, quick off the mark to grab a picture | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
with Dame Kelly Holmes. Save that as well. And there was even time for | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
commonwelfies romance with Lee Milner at the women's hockey final. | :09:50. | :09:57. | |
A wee kiss, lovely. We are going to head over to hockey. By now, surely | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
you must know the rule. In case you don't, here is a reminder. | :10:02. | :10:12. | |
Hockey is a fast and furious game played by 211 side teams. There are | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
five additional substitute that may be used an unlimited number of times | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
during a 70 minute match. Goals may only be scored from within the | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
shooting circle, a D shaped arc extending 16 yards in front of each | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
goal. Suspension cards can be issued to players who commit fouls. A green | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
card results in an automatic two-minute suspension, while a | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
yellow card is a minimum five-minute band. One of the corners can be | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
awarded for a variety of infringements and are taken from the | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
backline 10m either side of the nearest goalpost, with only five | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
defenders allowed to enter the shooting circle. If the score is | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
tied at the end of the match and knockout stages, a penalty shoot out | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
express. In Glasgow, both men's and women's competition is comprised two | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
pools of five teams each, with the top two in each pool progressing to | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
the semifinal stage. Earlier today, England's men's | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
hockey side were looking to win a bronze medal against New Zealand. | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
Would they fare better than the netball girls? Drama lay in store. | :11:18. | :11:25. | |
Welcome to a bright and breezy day at the Glasgow National Hockey | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
Centre. It is the last day of the Commonwealth Games hockey | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
tournament. In the bronze medal match, New Zealand, who were beaten | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
yesterday by India in the semifinal, and England, who were | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
defeated by Australia in their semifinal, | :11:40. | :12:01. | |
New Zealand are first to strike. Ten minutes down in New Zealand's half. | :12:02. | :12:32. | |
All the pressure and most of the position with England, but New | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
Zealand get the first goal. England reply straight away! They have asked | :12:38. | :12:48. | |
for a referral here. Can we see anything wrong? You could say he | :12:49. | :12:57. | |
went over the top of the ball with his stick. It has been cleared from | :12:58. | :13:06. | |
top New Zealand retain the referral. No goal. New Zealand one, England | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
zero. England get the goal! | :13:11. | :14:01. | |
Brogdon gets the equaliser. Good pressure buying land. | :14:02. | :14:16. | |
Penalty corner for England. England's first penalty corner of | :14:17. | :14:37. | |
the match. Jackson scores for England! Brilliantly taken. England | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
are in front. New Zealand get their own penalty | :14:43. | :15:06. | |
corner. End to end stuff right now. New Zealand get their own penalty | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
Both teams managing to make inroads in the danger area. | :15:14. | :15:29. | |
Great goal from Andy Hayward. They are level again. What a flurry of | :15:30. | :15:38. | |
goals we have had in the last five minutes. | :15:39. | :16:05. | |
England want a referral here. We are looking for a body in the circle. | :16:06. | :16:16. | |
That would be a New Zealand body. England are looking for a penalty | :16:17. | :16:26. | |
corner. Penalty corner. England retain the referral. Good call from | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
England. Get a chance to attack immediately here. Jackson scores, | :16:33. | :16:42. | |
but the whistle had gone. New Zealand lose a defender. New Zealand | :16:43. | :16:56. | |
are -1 defender on the line. Jackson, yes! He gets it again. | :16:57. | :17:05. | |
England are in front. It was not easy, because Manchester got a glove | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
to it. But he stepped the wrong way first, which gave a little | :17:13. | :17:12. | |
opportunity. Goal for New Zealand, and they are | :17:13. | :17:39. | |
level four --. Every time Simon Child gets the ball that penalty | :17:40. | :17:49. | |
area, he is dangerous. Incredible tension around the Glasgow National | :17:50. | :17:50. | |
Hockey Centre now. That takes us to the final hooter. | :17:51. | :18:11. | |
It is all square at the end of normal time. New Zealand three, | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
England three. It will be decided on a shoot out. | :18:20. | :18:34. | |
And he finds the goal. That was good. | :18:35. | :19:15. | |
It is amazing how many of the guys prefer to go back hand these days. | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
Making that goalkeeper think twice about which side he is going. It is | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
a difficult one for the keepers, because if they commit, they know | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
they are out. They have got to stay on their feet, stay light on their | :19:31. | :19:47. | |
toes. Pinner saves. The hooter sounds. Hilton the first to miss. | :19:48. | :19:57. | |
Well I think Pinner told Hilton what he thought then. But he did a good | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
job. He stopped Hilton's progress and there is this little dance | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
they're going to go through and what he did well was just kept him in | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
that area, Pinner, well, he enjoyed that one and Hilton didn't | :20:13. | :20:14. | |
obviously! Catlin next for England. Shapes up and finds the goal for | :20:15. | :20:38. | |
England! Nick Catlin, well, this is a different technique. He has done | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
it very quickly and moved rather than waiting and stopping, he has | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
done it in a fluid movement. So England take the early lead. Simon | :20:50. | :21:04. | |
Charles stepped forward and then stepped back. And it will be Steve | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
Edwards. He has had a good game, so he will be feeling good about what | :21:12. | :21:19. | |
he has done so far. Steve Edwards, versus George Pinner. | :21:20. | :21:29. | |
Yes, through his legs. Edwards scores for New Zealand. That was a | :21:30. | :21:39. | |
cheeky one. Pinner came out and moved the big man around and as he | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
shuffled across, you have got to move your legs apart and as he did | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
so, he put the ball through them. So a very clever shot. Barry Middleton | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
next for England, the captain. It is fascinating how the different | :21:54. | :22:12. | |
techniques of the players. This time Middleton didn't rush in, just | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
jogged in, committed the keeper and then moved it out to the side. While | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
the goalie was wrong-footed and whacked it into an empty net. So | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
they take the advantage again. Only one miss so far, that was from Blair | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
Hilton. New Zealand's second. Child has missed! He's missed! Well, | :22:32. | :22:57. | |
that is a surprise. But it sometimes happens. Simon Child looked very | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
confident. He jogged up to that, he was thinking about that, alile | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
dummy. But George Pinner read it was thinking about that, alile | :23:06. | :23:14. | |
he went down and caused enough of a barrier for Child. Well he is | :23:15. | :23:24. | |
he went down and caused enough of a to regret that maybe. Simon Mantell | :23:25. | :23:24. | |
can win it for England. That is a penalty stroke there. | :23:25. | :23:43. | |
Manchester has smashed Middleton, the stick of Simon Mantell. But | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
they're asking for a referral. They do have one. So he is going to argue | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
that he didn't foul him. That he had... It is going upstairs. So hi | :23:55. | :24:04. | |
reckons Mantell put his stick over the top of the ball and goorded the | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
-- guarded the ball. That is hard to say from there. Mantell was going to | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
do a spin. He has come away to spin around. Of course the stick was | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
between the ball, but was he actually obstructing? On purpose? He | :24:21. | :24:28. | |
was just going through his natural skill there. No reason to change | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
your decision. Yeah. It will be a penalty stroke. And it will be | :24:38. | :24:45. | |
Ashley Jackson to take it. So Jackson to give England the bronze | :24:46. | :24:53. | |
He scores! England take the bronze! Sheer delight, as red and white | :24:54. | :25:09. | |
surrounds Ashley Jackson. And the England team, | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
surrounds Ashley Jackson. And the the silver last night. And the men | :25:17. | :25:17. | |
have taken the bronze. After the silver last night. And the men | :25:18. | :25:26. | |
drama of a shoot-out, with a penalty stroke awarded. | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
Wessex is on her feet to support the England men. After the shoot-out. | :25:31. | :25:38. | |
The bronze medal has gone to England. You never make it easy. You | :25:39. | :25:48. | |
never want to for the crowd I think. We have not made it easy in the past | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
and lost them. So it is nice to go through that and come out winning. | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
It is, it has taken a while to sink in. We are going to enjoy it now. | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
Talk about doing a good penalty shuttle? Well I think just make it | :26:04. | :26:11. | |
as simple as possible. The very least that can go wrong. It is not | :26:12. | :26:18. | |
too technical, it is just a game plan. When you go up to win the | :26:19. | :26:25. | |
medal, do you think just smack it? Yes, just think as positive as | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
possible. You already know where you're going, if he pulls out a save | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
that is what happens. At the end of the day you have got something of a | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
hard week? Yes it is something we have spoken about. We came here with | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
quite high goals. We wanted to be in the final. But once we lost the | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
semi, we said for us, none of us have won a bronze or any kind of | :26:51. | :26:58. | |
colour medal, so we did don't demean it and act like it is not the game | :26:59. | :27:05. | |
we want. Hopefully that will push us on to bigger things. This is a | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
start. You have to win something to start and take people forward. For | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
you and the girls as well, what do you think this week does forrior | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
sport in terms of promoting it and the drama it produces. This is a | :27:20. | :27:26. | |
great week for our sport, because of the coverage. Yeah, the whole media | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
behind us. We get a lot of coverage. For the sport it is great. Medals | :27:31. | :27:38. | |
hopefully will help push it further. We know as a great to make hockey | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
people, people are driving it behind the scenes, but we have to win | :27:44. | :27:46. | |
something and we want the sport on the BBC and things like that, where | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
people can see us play and we are pushing that. But United States | :27:52. | :27:54. | |
winning medals is the only way to make it bigger. You have won a medal | :27:55. | :28:00. | |
so, there we have. Yes that is nice. A very good win for England. Bronze | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
on penalties. What do you do when you have won your medals and you're | :28:06. | :28:11. | |
just kick bg back? If you're a double Commonwealth Games medallist, | :28:12. | :28:18. | |
you play in a band live. Not only is Craig McLean here, we have John | :28:19. | :28:27. | |
Beattie, former Scottish and British Lions. You're looking relaxed. Yes | :28:28. | :28:35. | |
time to recover from the hangover. Have you caught much of the games? | :28:36. | :28:42. | |
It has been incredible. I think Scotland never anticipated we would | :28:43. | :28:47. | |
have this many medals. So hopefully more today. But it is an incredible | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
atmosphere around Glasgow. I got home for a couple of days to | :28:52. | :28:56. | |
Manchester to be an observer opt television and it is nigh o' - on | :28:57. | :29:03. | |
the television. John, you have been working for BBC Scotland and | :29:04. | :29:06. | |
covering all the medals and what have you thought about the games. | :29:07. | :29:10. | |
From a Scottish point of view and a Glasgow point of view, the consensus | :29:11. | :29:19. | |
is very successful? Yes thrp 500 medals able in 86 and we won 3. Per | :29:20. | :29:30. | |
head of population we win 9.8 medals per head. He has worked that out. | :29:31. | :29:36. | |
I'm ra trained accountant! Just medals is important. But what has | :29:37. | :29:39. | |
happened in the city has been different. People are talking to | :29:40. | :29:42. | |
each other and it is a wonderful time. It is a big crowd for you by | :29:43. | :29:50. | |
the way. It is. Watch this. We have another shot. Look at them. Very | :29:51. | :29:55. | |
happy. But what is that noise? Tell me, there is John Beattie playing a | :29:56. | :30:03. | |
beautiful guitar and Craig McLean playing bass. When did you get | :30:04. | :30:09. | |
involved in music? Music has been my first love since I was 15. I did it | :30:10. | :30:13. | |
for a few years, but playing in pubs and clubs, it is not conducive to an | :30:14. | :30:19. | |
athlete's lifestyle and I had to give it up. We have been part of | :30:20. | :30:23. | |
British team for so long and it is not something I have managed to do. | :30:24. | :30:27. | |
Now, I have more time and I have found myself a band in Manchester. I | :30:28. | :30:33. | |
enjoy playing. It soupds fantastic. -- it sounds fantastic. John is | :30:34. | :30:39. | |
playing a rhythm guitar, I would have thought as a rugby forward, | :30:40. | :30:44. | |
your fingers would be in a mess. But you have dexterity? I love music | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
more than anything. It is uniting. It is like sport and going back to | :30:49. | :30:57. | |
is to 15 and 16 I was playing in pubs and clubs. I love music more | :30:58. | :31:02. | |
than sport. I love getting together. We haven't rehearsed. Really? Craig | :31:03. | :31:08. | |
jumped off a train and said I will do it. He doesn't know the song. So | :31:09. | :31:15. | |
it is just that whole thing. I have been doing this since I was a kid. I | :31:16. | :31:21. | |
love it. I am not sure what age you are. You're still a young man and | :31:22. | :31:25. | |
competing. Are you looking to go ahead to Rio? Two Commonwealth Games | :31:26. | :31:31. | |
gold and you looked in sparkling form. You won't be like Chris Hoy | :31:32. | :31:37. | |
and hang up your boots? I feel good, probably better than I have ever | :31:38. | :31:44. | |
felt. Age isn't on my side, just turned 43. So I will be 45 in Rio. | :31:45. | :31:53. | |
But if I'm capable why not? Would you go for sprint? I think tandem, | :31:54. | :32:00. | |
even to be on the tandem will be a challenge. There will be a young lad | :32:01. | :32:05. | |
piloting. We will see how it goes. And I must ask you, you have been to | :32:06. | :32:15. | |
so many games, how has Glasgow 2014 compared? It's probably better than | :32:16. | :32:20. | |
anything I have experienced. When it is on your doorstep, it is as local | :32:21. | :32:26. | |
as it is going to get for me. It feels, when I went back to | :32:27. | :32:29. | |
Manchester and came back here, I stepped off and it felt like I was | :32:30. | :32:33. | |
home again in Glasgow. I'm not that familiar with Glasgow and not spent | :32:34. | :32:39. | |
a lot of time here, but it kind of felt home... I think they're itching | :32:40. | :32:43. | |
to get started. Beattie has had enough of the interview. He has had | :32:44. | :32:52. | |
enough of you talking. You were saying about Glasgow. Obvious ly, | :32:53. | :32:57. | |
the two gold medals helps to how you view things. The weather helped in | :32:58. | :33:01. | |
the first week. But people are just enjoying it in the streets. There is | :33:02. | :33:07. | |
such a buzz around. And the people that were listening to the band were | :33:08. | :33:11. | |
enjoying it. But never heard a world of the interviews, they're sitting | :33:12. | :33:16. | |
in the sun and the rain having a lovely time and they're going to be | :33:17. | :33:20. | |
entertained by this band as they kick into their next tune. We are | :33:21. | :33:26. | |
going to head to the Hydro and Lee McKenzie is there. It is very noisy | :33:27. | :33:33. | |
here. We have plenty of drama here at the Hydro. This is the fifth time | :33:34. | :33:38. | |
that met ball -- netball has been involved in the Commonwealth Games. | :33:39. | :33:43. | |
Two golds to New Zealand and two to Australia so it is no surprise we | :33:44. | :33:50. | |
have an Australia/New Zealand final. Pamela, you have been to speak to | :33:51. | :33:54. | |
the girls after the defeat to Jamaica. How are they feel something | :33:55. | :34:00. | |
They're just emotionless. We came here to get to that final and to not | :34:01. | :34:05. | |
even come away with the bronze it is, it has cut them deep. They're | :34:06. | :34:12. | |
warming down and it is eerie. We talk about how well England and | :34:13. | :34:15. | |
Jamaica know each other. But Australia and New Zealand battle | :34:16. | :34:20. | |
together almost on a weekly basis. There this -- this will be a huge | :34:21. | :34:25. | |
contest. Yes the Kiwis have had it the last two games and Australia | :34:26. | :34:29. | |
have never done it on a Commonwealth Games stage in the past couple of | :34:30. | :34:33. | |
years. So they have faced each other every week and they're ready to come | :34:34. | :34:39. | |
on now and each time they play, they have their consolation cup. So this | :34:40. | :34:41. | |
will be a good game. I think New Zealand have a lot to | :34:42. | :34:58. | |
prove heading into this final. Definitely. They have come in with a | :34:59. | :35:00. | |
team that is not as strong as we Definitely. They have come in with a | :35:01. | :35:03. | |
have seen before, but that is the same for the Australians full is | :35:04. | :35:09. | |
yesterday, New Zealand just got it in that last minute, so they will | :35:10. | :35:13. | |
have something to prove today. They are here to win it. Who should we | :35:14. | :35:18. | |
watch out for? For New Zealand, Casey Kopua. Maria Tutaia won that | :35:19. | :35:25. | |
game yesterday for them. She is coming on now. Also Laura Langman at | :35:26. | :35:32. | |
centre. She is followed for them and has good old distribution. Who would | :35:33. | :35:36. | |
have thought we would be sitting here in Glasgow with this amount of | :35:37. | :35:41. | |
noise for Australia versus New Zealand 's eye can hardly hear you! | :35:42. | :35:45. | |
We can hardly hear each other speak. New Zealand, we were saying, two | :35:46. | :35:52. | |
golds for them and two golds for Australia. The Aussies have been | :35:53. | :35:55. | |
waiting. They really want this. They have come ready to fight. | :35:56. | :36:03. | |
waiting. They really want this. They but they are finding their feet | :36:04. | :36:04. | |
now. but they are finding their feet | :36:05. | :36:10. | |
similar to the way that England have, with some close matches. | :36:11. | :36:15. | |
Really close. They will be looking to their centre, who has been having | :36:16. | :36:23. | |
Really close. They will be looking an awesome game. Caitlin Bassett | :36:24. | :36:25. | |
here, like Ronaldo, very tall and rangy, hardly can miss. Let's look | :36:26. | :36:37. | |
at this before we hand over to the commentators. We have moved from the | :36:38. | :36:41. | |
SECC to the Hydro said that they could pack this place full of | :36:42. | :36:45. | |
netball fans, and they have done it. The atmosphere has been a bill | :36:46. | :36:50. | |
is. This morning, England had a huge reception. It did not go their way. | :36:51. | :36:55. | |
It was any probably close match. But England versus New Zealand is a | :36:56. | :36:58. | |
final that everyone has expected. It is going to be eight thriller. Let's | :36:59. | :37:01. | |
join our commentators. Please welcome your umpires for this | :37:02. | :37:16. | |
match! Delivering the match ball is 12-year-old Katrine McKenzie from | :37:17. | :37:30. | |
New Zealand! The battle for the gold begins, New Zealand versus | :37:31. | :37:31. | |
Australia. She wrote away, a big problem. -- | :37:32. | :37:58. | |
straightaway. Yes, we will see both teams trying to play a solid | :37:59. | :38:07. | |
possession game. It has not been the greatest tournament for Maria | :38:08. | :38:11. | |
Tutaia. Yesterday against England, she got 15 from 25. We all know she | :38:12. | :38:15. | |
is accurate, but she has not been in the lead up to this game. Good start | :38:16. | :38:28. | |
for Australia. Tutaia already showing a strategy | :38:29. | :38:57. | |
there. Maggie Brown has been in sensational | :38:58. | :39:22. | |
form, probably the best way for Australia this week. A real danger | :39:23. | :39:26. | |
for Henry, who is also showing signs of four. | :39:27. | :39:50. | |
Again, Tutaia out of the circle. Interesting strategy. | :39:51. | :40:14. | |
Looking reasonably easy in the Australian shooting circle. | :40:15. | :40:40. | |
What a great story for Jodie Brown. She missed 2010 with the birth of | :40:41. | :40:54. | |
her child. She has certainly carried the workload. | :40:55. | :41:41. | |
It is much easier for Australia to penetrate that circle at the moment | :41:42. | :41:49. | |
and for New Zealand. -- easier for Australia than for New Zealand. Just | :41:50. | :41:58. | |
looked a bit ginger after that shot, Tutaia, so certainly not at | :41:59. | :42:03. | |
100%. This will be a mental challenge for her. But that one went | :42:04. | :42:09. | |
in, so she is off the mark. So, Geitz out. All tied up. Rebound | :42:10. | :44:25. | |
are vital in a game like this. You know it is going to come down to the | :44:26. | :44:32. | |
wire. Fabulous marketing of Geitz on Tutaia. | :44:33. | :45:02. | |
Is that a bit of blood on her elbow? Apparently so, so she will have to | :45:03. | :45:19. | |
go and get a sticking plaster. 7-7, what a surprise. New Zealand have | :45:20. | :45:28. | |
got to create some movement in that circle to utilise the speed of | :45:29. | :45:31. | |
Lineman and Leota to bring the ball down. | :45:32. | :45:39. | |
Australia are staying in a huddle in the middle of the court. So far, the | :45:40. | :45:50. | |
focus has been on the brine's opponent, Bassett. | :45:51. | :46:07. | |
We have talked about big game players, and she is one of them. She | :46:08. | :46:17. | |
has sunk if you last-minute winners. -- sunk a few. You put the curse on, | :46:18. | :46:24. | |
Jenny! New Zealand in front for the first | :46:25. | :47:04. | |
time in the game. So we are back to where we started. | :47:05. | :47:54. | |
Well, that was a surprise. They are the challenges you have to deal with | :47:55. | :48:02. | |
when the best umpires in the world are not umpiring the final. It has | :48:03. | :48:11. | |
to be neutral. Really tough on the athletes, a basic error like that. | :48:12. | :48:45. | |
And Bassett finishes it. advantage to Australia. New Zealand | :48:46. | :48:52. | |
will have to do something incredible. | :48:53. | :49:06. | |
Great little run here for Australia. And a terrific effort from Leota. | :49:07. | :49:17. | |
But Geitz was up to the task of reeling it in. | :49:18. | :49:40. | |
A big goal for New Zealand. They needed that. They need to stay in | :49:41. | :49:44. | |
touch with Australia. Oh a bullet. How they missed that in | :49:45. | :50:02. | |
the series against the world champions last year. Watch this - | :50:03. | :50:18. | |
bang and they had to work hard to get that position. | :50:19. | :50:30. | |
Australia standing ball side, trying to push their players away from the | :50:31. | :50:34. | |
pass. The radar is back on. Australia | :50:35. | :51:00. | |
lead, three minutes remaining in the first quarter. A good turn there. | :51:01. | :51:21. | |
That seemed to be a good contest. I thought she had done her own bit of | :51:22. | :51:34. | |
magic. But she seems to know when to bring out something special. Level. | :51:35. | :51:43. | |
Terrific shooting from New Zealand. Look at this. She is a star. Again | :51:44. | :51:54. | |
Australia pushing the Kiwis wide, but their passes are spot on. | :51:55. | :52:10. | |
Two reminutes remaining in the first. | :52:11. | :52:21. | |
You get the feeling that the Kiwis are playing better, although it is | :52:22. | :52:29. | |
tight, they just need maximising. They seem to be a bit more, a bit | :52:30. | :52:39. | |
sharper. That was a blow for New Zealand. There was a slip. Bassett | :52:40. | :52:42. | |
makes them pay. Australia forming a line at the | :52:43. | :52:51. | |
centre pass. She looked side ways for an option, | :52:52. | :53:21. | |
didn't need it. They have only missed one goal, New Zealand. | :53:22. | :53:24. | |
Magnificent shooting. We thought it would be a battle of | :53:25. | :53:45. | |
the defender, but it is the attackers who have started well | :53:46. | :53:53. | |
today. That one bounces right back out. Here come Australia. | :53:54. | :54:03. | |
The Kiwis will think they have a chance to score. The clock has been | :54:04. | :54:10. | |
stopped. Watch for the big one! Well, it was the right idea, but the | :54:11. | :54:17. | |
clock was too fast. Quarter time in the gold medal match. It is 14-14 | :54:18. | :54:21. | |
between New Zealand and Australia. This is shaping to be yet another | :54:22. | :54:37. | |
incredible battle between these two sides. Look at the shooting stats. | :54:38. | :54:45. | |
New Zealand 88%. Australia getting their hands to the ball a bit more | :54:46. | :54:50. | |
in terms of deflections. Penalties about the same. Obstructions 5-0 to | :54:51. | :54:56. | |
Australia. They will have to get their three feet a bit more and | :54:57. | :55:05. | |
defensive rebounds, both defensive groups are dominating. What a game | :55:06. | :55:11. | |
though. Both teams started well. Australia probably a bit better. | :55:12. | :55:16. | |
Maximising a couple of errors that New Zealand made. But the attacking | :55:17. | :55:22. | |
ends are doing well. Bassett the focus for Australia. They're | :55:23. | :55:27. | |
confident to give her the ball and Langman doing great work for New | :55:28. | :55:38. | |
Zealand. They have been well supported by Brown. She is keeping | :55:39. | :55:42. | |
that circle nice and open for the Kiwis. Let's listen in to the | :55:43. | :56:03. | |
huddles. All right. Have faith. Let it go. You're doing some great | :56:04. | :56:14. | |
changes of direction. Keep it going. Every ball. Make sure we look after | :56:15. | :56:21. | |
those loose balls. Pounce on it and then hard into attack. Let's go. | :56:22. | :56:30. | |
Come on! There is the direction from the coaches. Have faith. Let it go. | :56:31. | :56:50. | |
Every area is fog to be -- going to be costly. No changes from either | :56:51. | :56:56. | |
side. I guess why would tr be? 14-14. I was going to say 45 minutes | :56:57. | :57:01. | |
remaining, but you never know. The last final in the Commonwealth Games | :57:02. | :57:12. | |
lasted 74 minutes: Second quarter away. | :57:13. | :57:19. | |
Straight down the middle for Australia. Lovely timing. | :57:20. | :58:03. | |
What a challenge this game is for the coaches. Bassett dominant in the | :58:04. | :58:09. | |
circle. Not the coaches. Bassett dominant in the | :58:10. | :58:26. | |
has other attributes. A three the coaches. Bassett dominant in the | :58:27. | :58:28. | |
lead opens up for Australia. She will be thinking, does she put her | :58:29. | :58:36. | |
best depender, Kopua on Australia's best shooter. New Zealand have to be | :58:37. | :58:49. | |
patient, it is not as easy now for them in attack as it is for | :58:50. | :58:54. | |
Australia. Helped by the fact Geitz was on the floor and New Zealand get | :58:55. | :58:56. | |
on the board in the second quarter. Have faith and let it go was the | :58:57. | :59:31. | |
message. These Australian defenders are so fast. | :59:32. | :59:44. | |
Halfpenny urging the players on. That looked like good defence. | :59:45. | :59:53. | |
Hangman and Henry close Robinson out and she was forced into the contact. | :59:54. | :00:06. | |
Some pressure shots for these girls at the moment out there. Jody Brown, | :00:07. | :00:14. | |
what a moment, her husband and children in the crowd. | :00:15. | :00:34. | |
Brown doing her bit to make that contact look more than it was. Level | :00:35. | :00:49. | |
again! 18-18. Australians doing well to force the | :00:50. | :01:20. | |
Kiwis all into the one position, so it is congested and as a result | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
they're afraid to let the ball go. This is a brilliant shot. She is on | :01:23. | :01:52. | |
song Tutaia. Almost five minutes gob in the -- gone in the second | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
quarter. Canny play. 18 goals for Bassett. | :01:56. | :02:10. | |
She needs to be shut down. She is the danger girl. | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
Good position. Well done, Jody Brown. | :02:18. | :02:46. | |
Good work from de Brun. Oh, that was close. No one coming. There is a lot | :02:47. | :02:54. | |
of long balls going on at the moment. | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
Look at the congestion. That is a surprise. There was a wonky one in | :03:02. | :03:14. | |
the first quarter. You do hope decisions like that do balance out. | :03:15. | :03:23. | |
Brilliant work by Geitz. It was never on. | :03:24. | :03:46. | |
Can New Zealand penetrate this defence? | :03:47. | :04:07. | |
Brown looks tired. Burr she always looks tired. Even when she is not. | :04:08. | :04:17. | |
But I think now she does. This is a great tussle. She has had to carry | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
the load a bit more than she would have liked with players being | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
injured. That can have an impact. It is a long tournament. | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
A big contact from Brown. You almost get the feeling it will be shooting | :04:32. | :04:43. | |
percentage that will prat -- separate these two teams. | :04:44. | :04:59. | |
Ra value yon with perfect feet and Australia again open up a two goal | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
advantage. -- Ravallion. Make that three goals Australia in | :05:08. | :05:29. | |
front. They have to be careful about the | :05:30. | :05:42. | |
placement to Leota. Nicely finished. New Zealand have | :05:43. | :06:25. | |
got to make a change, it is getting away from them. That is unstoppable. | :06:26. | :06:34. | |
22 goals, and not even half time yet. An incredible performance. They | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
just have to get the momentum up. Tutaia is struggling, not able to | :06:40. | :07:05. | |
push off as she would like. Tutaia is struggling, not able to | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
push off Brown has lost her way a bit. | :07:11. | :07:21. | |
Their placement has been as good as I have seen from Australia. | :07:22. | :07:55. | |
Australia in charge in the second quarter. | :07:56. | :08:05. | |
She did well to recover that, Leota. They cannot get it into the circle. | :08:06. | :08:25. | |
That settle things down a little, there she is, Latu, warming up. They | :08:26. | :08:37. | |
have withstood a lot of pressure in the last week, New Zealand. That is | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
why this would be one of their greatest victories ever. | :08:43. | :08:53. | |
Unfazed. Just her third goal, Medhurst, but playing a role. | :08:54. | :09:15. | |
She is good when she Bruin. The one thing about de Bruin, | :09:16. | :09:31. | |
she may be struggling here, but she can get herself back into the game, | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
as she showed them. A combined rebound effort by the New Zealand | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
shooters, what a battle they are having. A good quarter for | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
Australia. New Zealand have steadied the ship a | :09:49. | :10:40. | |
little in the latter stages of the quarter. But they are not able to | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
close the gap. That was good pressure from | :10:45. | :10:53. | |
Australia, and it pays off. A beautiful through ball, that is | :10:54. | :11:41. | |
better from New Zealand. Lucky there. | :11:42. | :12:04. | |
What a good one. Can they add one more? They have not been able to | :12:05. | :12:15. | |
score terribly quickly in this quarter. Can Australia hold them | :12:16. | :12:23. | |
up? They will get the penalty. Is it inside the circle? Yes. You cannot | :12:24. | :12:34. | |
get further away than that. She will get another shot. | :12:35. | :12:45. | |
She misses it. A dramatic end to the first half. At half-time, Australia | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
lead New Zealand. A dramatic end, but what a frenetic | :12:54. | :13:05. | |
first half we have had here. We would not expect anything less. We | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
will be back in a minute or two with the reaction, but first, the news. | :13:11. | :13:20. | |

We had dancing teacakes and Scottie dogs for the Opening. | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
Kylie and Lulu will help close Glasgow 2014. | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
Right now, back to Glasgow for the third quarter of the netball. | :14:42. | :14:50. | |
We've got factory boys and butchers' apprentices and office clerks | :14:51. | :14:53. | |

I leave the ashram, travel halfway across the world to find my father, | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
Oh, well. As Vashrati says, gotta keep smiling! | :15:15. | :15:22. | |
We don't tend to use the bathroom together here. | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
All right, well, I'll catch you later. | :15:26. | :15:27. | |
This ashram of yours, it might be a cult. | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
I take it back, he's definitely Cuckoo's son. | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
The atmosphere, it's incredible here. | :15:35. | :15:57. | |
Every anthem, every beat, every moment. | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
Get amongst the action all summer long | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
medal match, Australia against New Zealand. Australia have started to | :16:06. | :16:30. | |
stretch their legs, but what a frenetic, intense match we have seen | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
so far. frenetic, intense match we have seen | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
so It feels different to England against Jamaica, but maybe that is | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
what happens when a gold medal is at stake. Yes, the rivalry between | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
Australia and New Zealand is intense. Both teams going for it. | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
Leota was finding some space and feeding the shooters well. But then | :16:52. | :17:03. | |
they are being shut down. New Zealand must not let the gap get any | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
wider. Definitely. The defence started off well, every rebound was | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
there. But the Australians have a bit of an edge, they are finding | :17:17. | :17:27. | |
Bassett easily now. The Kiwis have a strong mentality. If they let the | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
gap get too big, it will be difficult to claw back. If you | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
remember netball from school, this is different, because it is | :17:38. | :17:38. | |
incredibly physical. They are sticking to each other like | :17:39. | :17:46. | |
glue, and they can react like this. Yes, getting the defensive rebound, | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
and when they break, they break so quickly. A nice steel. It is | :17:52. | :18:00. | |
incredible to see, because it has been a real battle. We have seen a | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
lot of bumps and bounces, collisions. It is such a physical | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
game. Definitely. You have to be so athletic. They have to be so strong | :18:11. | :18:19. | |
and so fit. Australia's Captain leads from the front. She seems to | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
be involved in everything. Definitely. Brown was having a lot | :18:23. | :18:31. | |
of space, but she has been shut down, so it is difficult. A captain | :18:32. | :18:39. | |
for New Zealand, she has been leading again and showing how not | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
just to encourage and inspire a team, but how to play netball. It is | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
showing the grip. It is not easy, but she is reading the game so well. | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
The team will feed off that, that will push them forward. Tell us | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
about umpires, the umpires that we have here today are not the best in | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
the world and are not reacting as they should be? A loaded comment? | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
The Australians have forfeited some ranking points so they could have | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
their own umpires. But these are the best that England have got, there is | :19:18. | :19:26. | |
talk now and again, one-upmanship, and umpiring comes into it as well. | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
It is the same tit-for-tat as in the game, because we have got a New | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
Zealand commentator and game, because we have got a New | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
commentator. There is no bias at all! It is great to see, tip for | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
tat. When New Zealand do something good, they are in there, and vice | :19:47. | :19:48. | |
versa. How disappointed will New good, they are in there, and vice | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
Zealand be to have conceded those goals? They will be, because they | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
close quarters well. back, but they did not do enough. | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
Maybe Jodie back, but they did not do enough. | :20:03. | :20:04. | |
played a lot of games. back, but they did not do enough. | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
have liked to have rotated their shooters a bit more. It | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
have liked to have rotated their interesting to see who comes on in | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
the second half. It will be the same again, the fight and grit, nobody | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
will lie down and die. This is the biggest women's sport in their | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
country, it will be a good battle. Australia out at the moment, all | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
guns blazing. Where are New Zealand? They are starting to come | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
out now, they will have been having their team talk. The Australians | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
want to get their touch back on the ball, doing some drills. It is great | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
to see the other nations watching, and maybe learning. England, | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
Jamaica, Scotland, Wales. Plenty of teams are enjoying this moment and | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
possibly just watching the showcase. This is why we play, we want to be | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
in the final. The girls there will be looking and seeing what they can | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
pick up, but also, it is a great game of netball. They want to watch | :21:08. | :21:16. | |
a good standard. We will see more fireworks, this is incredible, it | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
comes down to the next 30 minutes. It is exciting. The Australian girls | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
having a last-minute team talk, New Zealand will be doing the same. This | :21:28. | :21:34. | |
battle does not just happen at the Commonwealth Games, we were talking | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
at the constellation cup, Australia dominating last time and New Zealand | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
have a point of proof. The Australian world number one, but New | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
Zealand have twice running so it has always been tit-for-tat. It | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
Zealand have twice running so it has about who can have the game plan | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
they can stick to. Who is looking in command? Very good first quarter for | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
New Zealand. Can we tell which way this is going? | :22:07. | :22:08. | |
New Zealand. Can we tell which way more on song, less mistakes, at the | :22:09. | :22:15. | |
moment but you can never count New Zealand down. They know when the | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
need to it on at the right time they can win games, as we saw from Casey | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
Kopua. We can rejoin Jennifer and Catherine. COMMENTATOR: There the | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
change, Katrina Grant an ad goal difference, it Casey Kopua moving | :22:32. | :22:41. | |
back to goalkeeper. -- Katrina Grant on at goal defence. Second half, New | :22:42. | :22:50. | |
Zealand four in arrears. They need a strong start. | :22:51. | :23:06. | |
The chant going up from New Zealanders in the crowd. | :23:07. | :23:16. | |
Australia will want to build on that very good second quarter. Easy ball | :23:17. | :23:38. | |
finding Bassett. Really that has been the difference, the bees of | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
scoring for the Australians. What is difficult if they have three | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
feeders, Medhurst into Bassett as often as Ravaillon and Robinson. It | :23:48. | :24:02. | |
is difficult to defend against. All sorts of antics but the is good. | :24:03. | :24:12. | |
Robinson is the danger. The goal. She is getting into space. Copper | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
were completely out of position but got her hand to the ball, just a bit | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
late. -- copper copper wire Henry got too far under the ball. | :24:23. | :25:05. | |
She will be kicking herself. Nice speed from Medhurst. Only shot one | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
goal in the second quarter but they were so dominant. Australia push | :25:13. | :25:30. | |
out. Chance here to lead by six. One of their greatest strengths is they | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
do not make mistakes. They are playing a patient game and only | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
going for the easy option. Really good performance from the Aussies so | :25:40. | :25:41. | |
far. You have to assume by perhaps no | :25:42. | :25:51. | |
changes for New Zealand in the shooting circle that Cathrine Latu | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
is not in a position to take the quarter. I would have thought so, | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
ten goals in the second quarter is not enough and you would have | :26:04. | :26:05. | |
thought they would take the risk by now. But a rare mistake by | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
Australia. Good news for the New Zealanders. | :26:12. | :26:24. | |
Just one option coming from New Zealand. They need more than that. | :26:25. | :26:34. | |
Better from Langman, trying to find good position on Circle Caulker. | :26:35. | :26:44. | |
That was too much for Brown so against the Australians force New | :26:45. | :26:51. | |
Zealand into an error. Just watched the patients from Australia. And now | :26:52. | :26:52. | |
they go along. -- long. So frustrating as a defender, so | :26:53. | :27:14. | |
ineffective as a shooter. You feel like giving them a clip when they do | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
that. -- so effective. She sportingly gives them a clown. | :27:20. | :27:27. | |
-- she sportingly gives them a clown. Australia have started this | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
third quarter with a rush of goals. -- clap. 5-2, New Zealand struggling | :27:33. | :27:39. | |
to get some speed going in attack. I think Alexander will be very | :27:40. | :28:01. | |
pleased with her troops at the moment, they are not doing a lot | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
wrong. They are not allowing the Kiwis to gain any momentum. They are | :28:06. | :28:12. | |
just waiting the missed pass and they are away, that is why they are | :28:13. | :28:20. | |
seven ahead. But plenty of time. Maria Tutaia, so much on her | :28:21. | :28:29. | |
shoulders. Australia centre pass. New Zealand have somehow got to put | :28:30. | :28:32. | |
the brakes on this Australian scoring machine. They have given | :28:33. | :28:40. | |
themselves a few opportunities, the Kiwis. | :28:41. | :28:51. | |
Brown leaves it behind for Tutaia. It is short from Tutaia. It is those | :28:52. | :29:24. | |
crucial opportunities that are being missed by New Zealand. 72%, just 70% | :29:25. | :29:30. | |
for Tutaia. And on the other hand, to the | :29:31. | :29:51. | |
delight of those Australian fans,. That was awkward. The wheels falling | :29:52. | :30:00. | |
off and Australia can feel it. Was she sliding when she felt? | :30:01. | :30:07. | |
Apparently not. But they will have the floor wiped, that was | :30:08. | :30:09. | |
extraordinaire. That's back when she fell. I would have thought that was | :30:10. | :30:17. | |
some sort of footwork foul, another lucky one for Australia. When you | :30:18. | :30:21. | |
have the luck you have the luck. They are annoying, that is really | :30:22. | :30:25. | |
annoying. I would have thought that was a fairly basic call, never mind. | :30:26. | :30:32. | |
Australia firmly in control in the third quarter. | :30:33. | :30:49. | |
I just noticed on the sideline Harrison has put on the wing defence | :30:50. | :31:08. | |
bib so the change could be coming for New Zealand. Defensive changes | :31:09. | :31:18. | |
have not worked so far. Hallinan. Just called for the contacts. -- | :31:19. | :31:22. | |
contact. not want to go into the final | :31:23. | :31:51. | |
quarter trailing Australia by something like ten. Hustle from | :31:52. | :31:57. | |
Grant and she wins it. Now they need to slowly eaten away into the lead. | :31:58. | :32:03. | |
Nice, she has come good. Just suffocating Tutaia. Henry | :32:04. | :32:08. | |
off-balance as she led at Bordeaux. Just a little window opening for New | :32:09. | :32:21. | |
Zealand but it closes just as quickly. Ten goal margin. Captains | :32:22. | :32:31. | |
game she is playing, strong to the game she is playing, strong to the | :32:32. | :32:35. | |
ball and wanted it more. Again thinking that | :32:36. | :32:49. | |
New Zealand have two somehow clamber their way back into this game. If | :32:50. | :32:56. | |
they want to defend their their way back into this game. If | :32:57. | :32:59. | |
have to. Just wondering if you completely | :33:00. | :33:10. | |
sure for the Just wondering if you completely | :33:11. | :33:17. | |
something, they need a spark. Bring Harrison on, I don't know, Henry in | :33:18. | :33:18. | |
the middle. Langman and attack, identify, something | :33:19. | :33:27. | |
different. Renae Hallinan would have gone mad. -- would have got that. | :33:28. | :33:35. | |
Shooting percentage really costing them here, today, New Zealand. 72%. | :33:36. | :33:48. | |
Well done, brand. -- grant. They have had enough opportunities, their | :33:49. | :33:52. | |
defenders are getting the ball. And there it is in black and white. 88% | :33:53. | :34:02. | |
against 72%. Certainly in the past New Zealand shooting percentage very | :34:03. | :34:06. | |
much higher than bad. It makes such a difference to the confidence of | :34:07. | :34:09. | |
your group if you are scoring on a basis. Every time you miss it | :34:10. | :34:22. | |
deflates you. Vicki Wilson the assistant coach for the Silver | :34:23. | :34:26. | |
ferns. One of the greatest ever shooters in the game. | :34:27. | :34:33. | |
There is the patients we have seen all day from Australia. -- slipping | :34:34. | :34:50. | |
away from the Kiwis, five goals only in this quarter. | :34:51. | :35:09. | |
And another error from Australia. Good work from the New Zealand | :35:10. | :35:16. | |
defence. This will make any road, just buy a couple of goals, seven | :35:17. | :35:21. | |
goals or something like that in the last quarter is achievable. They | :35:22. | :35:26. | |
certainly came back from something like five down a couple of times | :35:27. | :35:30. | |
against England. This is a very different kettle of fish. | :35:31. | :35:38. | |
They get an edge, then they lose it. Look how easy Australia make it | :35:39. | :36:25. | |
look. They have made New Zealand pay for every error they have made. | :36:26. | :36:35. | |
How much that must hurt the defenders. How much would it lift | :36:36. | :36:59. | |
them if they had scored? Such a contrast. Maybe this is an example | :37:00. | :37:10. | |
of how New Zealand's tournament has gone, nothing has gone to plan, | :37:11. | :37:18. | |
injury after injury. There is another one. You have got to feel | :37:19. | :37:26. | |
for the shooters, it is not as though they are not trying. | :37:27. | :37:34. | |
The defence working overtime. The patients now, they know they are in | :37:35. | :37:45. | |
control, Australia, they do not need to do anything that is rushed or | :37:46. | :37:53. | |
silly. Medhurst comment into action when she is needed. They have had so | :37:54. | :38:02. | |
many opportunities in this quarter. There is another one blown. I can | :38:03. | :38:11. | |
imagine widely coach may be preparing to read the riot act. You | :38:12. | :38:19. | |
can beat Barbados by letting them in so often, but not Australia. The | :38:20. | :38:25. | |
lead ever grows. That has been happening all day. It | :38:26. | :38:47. | |
was in exactly the right position, brilliant work. | :38:48. | :39:19. | |
missed so many of those goals, and then the long one goes in. A | :39:20. | :39:24. | |
terrific quarter for Australia, they have pulled away to a 12 goal lead. | :39:25. | :39:28. | |
Make that an 11 gold aid. We have seen the shooting percentage | :39:29. | :39:50. | |
continue to drop for New Zealand. The shot attempts, there is just a | :39:51. | :39:57. | |
difference of four. If the shooting was on, it could be another tight | :39:58. | :40:10. | |
affair. Interceptions, 5-2. They are doing their best to keep their team | :40:11. | :40:16. | |
in this. Defensive rebound is strong for both countries. But it has been | :40:17. | :40:22. | |
all Australia, they have been taking advantage of any opportunities. They | :40:23. | :40:26. | |
have hardly missed a shot, and they have hardly made a mistake. This is | :40:27. | :40:31. | |
as good as you can get in terms of a performance under this pressure. The | :40:32. | :40:40. | |
coach could not ask for much more. New Zealand getting plenty of | :40:41. | :40:43. | |
opportunities, they just do not have their radar in. In contrast, | :40:44. | :40:56. | |
Hallinan has her eyes wide open. There you see it, Latu is on, and | :40:57. | :41:09. | |
Fran?ois. Henry has come off. The coach is ringing the changes. | :41:10. | :41:16. | |
Harrison is on at wing defence. She knows that there are only 15 minutes | :41:17. | :41:23. | |
left. The gold medal looks to be heading to Australia. What can these | :41:24. | :41:36. | |
players pull-out? Latu, her second Commonwealth Games, but only the | :41:37. | :41:39. | |
first in the black dress. She played for Samoa a few years ago. What a | :41:40. | :41:48. | |
stage to come out onto. The Australians will be feeling | :41:49. | :41:54. | |
super-confident, they lead by 11. 15 in its -- minutes remaining. | :41:55. | :42:02. | |
New Zealand are going to have to pull out something super if they are | :42:03. | :42:08. | |
to clamber their way towards the top of the podium. | :42:09. | :42:22. | |
Australia begin the fourth and final quarter. | :42:23. | :42:35. | |
They pick up straight away where they left off. A great start for | :42:36. | :42:44. | |
Fran?ois. Australia are going to enjoy this, rarely does this happen | :42:45. | :42:47. | |
on such a big occasion, the comfort of a 12 goal lead, they know this | :42:48. | :42:54. | |
one is theirs. Let's see what the Kiwis can offer, though. | :42:55. | :43:05. | |
They are leaving New Zealand in their wake. This is going to be a | :43:06. | :43:12. | |
mental challenge for New Zealand, they know it is slipping away, it is | :43:13. | :43:14. | |
all about pride. Can New Zealand make any inroads? | :43:15. | :43:39. | |
Can that spark some kind of revival? It would have to be a | :43:40. | :43:42. | |
massive one. Zealand, but the patients from | :43:43. | :44:27. | |
Australia is terrific. A nice move, Latu. This big crowd at | :44:28. | :44:53. | |
the Hydride will help them left. We know these teams can perform | :44:54. | :44:54. | |
miracles at times. A pat on the bottom full Latu. She | :44:55. | :45:06. | |
adds another. There I ask the question why she was | :45:07. | :45:24. | |
not put on earlier, Latu? New Zealand are coming. | :45:25. | :45:40. | |
All Australia have to do is keep scoring of the centre pass. | :45:41. | :45:51. | |
This is where New Zealand have to hold them up. Once they get the ball | :45:52. | :46:23. | |
into the circle, they are shooting with ease. | :46:24. | :46:49. | |
Fabulous marking on Latu. What a game she is having, Geitz, leading | :46:50. | :47:00. | |
from the front. She studied herself before that | :47:01. | :47:11. | |
shop. Even that was good work from | :47:12. | :47:27. | |
Australia. The temptation would have been to put it in, but they went for | :47:28. | :47:29. | |
the safe one. Just a bit too desperate there, New | :47:30. | :47:48. | |
Zealand. Still a bit of tension around the place, people not quite | :47:49. | :47:51. | |
sure if Australia are absolutely home. That little revival from New | :47:52. | :47:57. | |
Zealand was enough to plant a seed of doubt, but with passes like that, | :47:58. | :48:00. | |
Australia would have to implode. It is too easy, Australia. They are | :48:01. | :48:26. | |
back to the margin of 12. They steal another. They have not | :48:27. | :48:46. | |
had a passenger, Australia, everybody has contributed at various | :48:47. | :48:48. | |
times, a really good team performance. Not requiring the edge | :48:49. | :48:51. | |
players. This is becoming a hard watch for | :48:52. | :49:20. | |
New Zealand fans. The temptation will be there for Australia to put | :49:21. | :49:26. | |
some other players on. Just as you mention. Somebody has called an | :49:27. | :49:36. | |
injury time-out. It looks like it is New Zealand. We have seen coaches do | :49:37. | :49:47. | |
this, to bring on players from the bench who have contributed so much. | :49:48. | :49:51. | |
The opposition do not like it, but it is a reality. It is the other | :49:52. | :50:01. | |
side that is doing it, de Bruin warming up. What a game her opposite | :50:02. | :50:08. | |
marker has had. A phenomenal performance. 90% accuracy. She is a | :50:09. | :50:24. | |
big-time performer, Bassett. She is only as good as the distribution, | :50:25. | :50:26. | |
and it has been almost perfect today. The leaders have met her. | :50:27. | :50:34. | |
Robinson has been superb. Back comes de Bruin. Australia in | :50:35. | :50:43. | |
control over New Zealand. created a bit more movement and | :50:44. | :51:15. | |
confidence around the circle. So much room for Medhurst on the | :51:16. | :51:28. | |
baseline. Just not per day, Tutaia. Not her | :51:29. | :52:10. | |
tournament. Suffered an injury, shooting at 71% now. The heroics of | :52:11. | :52:28. | |
New Delhi a long way away now. This three different finals match. She | :52:29. | :52:39. | |
does not give up, the captain. So much pressure from | :52:40. | :52:41. | |
does not give up, the captain. So players from Australia in defence, | :52:42. | :52:45. | |
slowing things up for the back defenders. New Zealand have not been | :52:46. | :52:55. | |
able to do enough of that. Kim Ravaillon has been solid, | :52:56. | :53:17. | |
putting it to Leighton today. She has kept Kim Green on the bench. The | :53:18. | :53:22. | |
future looking bright for Australian netball. When is it not? That is the | :53:23. | :53:30. | |
difference fit day, the depth. If Australia has suffered the injury | :53:31. | :53:34. | |
would have had players to cover them but New Zealand have not. | :53:35. | :53:46. | |
Just tough going, brilliant work from Australia. You cannot say | :53:47. | :53:51. | |
enough how good the defence has been today. I also wonder how it must be | :53:52. | :54:03. | |
for Eileen van Dyck, watching this match, dramatically retired days | :54:04. | :54:07. | |
before the announcement of this game. And the trouble is that then | :54:08. | :54:11. | |
in student in New Zealand shooting circle. She will be feeling this. | :54:12. | :54:32. | |
Cathrine Latu went one way and the ball the other. Just imagine what | :54:33. | :54:36. | |
these Australian supporters are about to launch into. Party time in | :54:37. | :54:39. | |
Glasgow. Australia just taking their time. | :54:40. | :55:38. | |
She must be close to player of the match, Bassett. 46 goals | :55:39. | :55:41. | |
She must be close to player of the some of the best defenders in the | :55:42. | :55:42. | |
world. -- six the connection simply not there | :55:43. | :55:48. | |
today for New Zealand. That was an the connection simply not there | :55:49. | :56:00. | |
example. Still battling Langman. Deep down they would have hoped the | :56:01. | :56:06. | |
injuries would not affect New Zealand. They have not had a full | :56:07. | :56:15. | |
list here in Glasgow. They have battled from day one, the very first | :56:16. | :56:25. | |
match against Malawi. One of the best of the tournament. And you look | :56:26. | :56:28. | |
at their opponents, they have been battling each other. Kim Green on | :56:29. | :56:36. | |
the bench, Bianca Chatfield, Coldwell, Medhurst, Sharni Layton, | :56:37. | :56:40. | |
pushing each other all the time and you end up with a performance like | :56:41. | :56:48. | |
this. Great team effort. Nothing going on right the New Zealand in | :56:49. | :56:55. | |
the dying stages of this gold medal match. The expressions on the New | :56:56. | :57:00. | |
Zealand bench tell the story. It is party time for Australia, they have | :57:01. | :57:05. | |
waited 12 years for this. It is unacceptable in terms of Australian | :57:06. | :57:09. | |
netball so they will be on top of the world here today after what is | :57:10. | :57:13. | |
one of the best performances I have seen in a long time. | :57:14. | :57:21. | |
And what a fascinating few games it has been. Think how England might be | :57:22. | :57:26. | |
feeling, they will be sitting there thinking, jeepers, we lost to | :57:27. | :57:32. | |
Australia by one macro. I think Australia would have preferred to | :57:33. | :57:36. | |
have played New Zealand. They will be glad New Zealand got through | :57:37. | :57:43. | |
because they knew they might be vulnerable with their injuries but | :57:44. | :57:48. | |
England had a full list and there defence is as good as anybody in | :57:49. | :57:51. | |
this competition. An incredible tournament and England have not even | :57:52. | :57:55. | |
ended up with bronze, going down to Jamaica. Into the final minutes, | :57:56. | :58:05. | |
57-40. They have control things from one end of the court to the other, | :58:06. | :58:15. | |
the Australians. Some emotion coming out on the bench now, they can feel | :58:16. | :58:20. | |
it, the players and coaching staff. Starting to let loose. Look at least | :58:21. | :58:32. | |
Alexander. -- Lisa Alexander. So much hard work goes into something | :58:33. | :58:34. | |
like this. WHISTLE | :58:35. | :58:51. | |
CHEERING The Commonwealth drought has been | :58:52. | :58:54. | |
broken, gold-medal Australia in Glasgow. World number one, world | :58:55. | :59:01. | |
champions, and now Commonwealth champions. These 30 seconds here are | :59:02. | :59:16. | |
the best moments of these players lives, you cannot beat it. Laura | :59:17. | :59:21. | |
Geitz engulfed by her team-mates. Corletto, Ravaillon. For the Silver | :59:22. | :59:38. | |
ferns, they always knew they would be up against it. | :59:39. | :59:46. | |
But for now it is Australia's moment. | :59:47. | :00:05. | |
Laura Langman, dismay written all over her face. And Waimarama | :00:06. | :00:15. | |
Taumaunu, she will be wondering what might have been had she had 12 fit | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
players. Sickening, shattering feeling, I feel for them. They put | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
so much into this campaign only to be affected virtually from day one | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
with injury. They will be devastated by the scoreline, not only the fact | :00:32. | :00:41. | |
fact it is 18 goals. That hurts. -- not only the loss, but the fact it | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
is 18 goals. That is a fabulous site. You have got to give Alexander | :00:50. | :00:58. | |
credit, she has coached this team superbly, created a really strong | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
team unit. And good strategy over the course of a week to keep her | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
players fresh. Cathrine Latu, what a horror a few days she has had, not | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
been able to get uncle. Tutaia the same, came into this game almost on | :01:17. | :01:25. | |
a broken wing, the Kiwis. That is the sort of feeling they gave the | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
Australians four years ago in India. Tables turned in dramatic fashion. | :01:30. | :01:48. | |
STUDIO: Fantastic day for Australia but a bad day for New Zealand | :01:49. | :01:57. | |
because this is a country that has netball as a national sport. | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
Definitely, fair play to Australia, they came out really strong, they | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
were clinical and made very few errors. Any time New Zealand through | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
the ball away they were there to capitalise. And take the ball down | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
for a goal. They were plagued with injuries, especially in the shooting | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
circle. They would have liked to have Cathrine Latu on earlier. But | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
the shooting starts well below what they would have wanted. And it | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
showed with the score. -- shooting stats. When New Zealand made a | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
mistake it was interesting because Australia always capitalised. | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
Exactly, nine times out of ten Australia took the turnover to goal. | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
With Bassett there she was on form, definitely my player of the match | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
today. She was solid for them. The Australian team work as one, they | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
were sure, confident and careful with the ball. Australia have had to | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
wait a while to get their hands on this, 12 years. The next | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
Commonwealth Games is in the Gold Coast, and I think now we are about | :03:08. | :03:16. | |
to have Laura Geitz. Congratulations, we were just saying | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
Australia had to wait a while. The next, love games is in your | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
backyard, how do you feel here in Glasgow question blue we are | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
absolutely ecstatic. It has been 12 long years since Australia won the | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
gold medal. We have the Kiwis being challenged today, we knew that. It | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
is very cliched but we stuck to the game plan and the dividends came | :03:40. | :03:46. | |
off. When New Zealand made a mistake your girls were there to punish | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
them. Obviously you have to make most of every opportunity, they | :03:54. | :03:54. | |
don't make many proud of the way the girls conducted | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
themselves on record. We take away and the second half made it a lot | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
themselves on record. We take away easier. It seemed quite evenly | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
matched in some ways in the first quarter but by the second quarter | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
Australia were really stretching your legs and the second half was | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
totally different. That is something we have paid a lot of | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
totally different. That is something win this tournament. Coming out with | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
a nice strong start, building for the entire game, it is 60 minutes | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
and you just never underestimate the Kiwis, they keep coming back at you. | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
This tournament we have seen so many close games. England being on the | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
worst end of that but that is international netball. | :04:40. | :04:39. | |
Congratulations, enjoy the moment. Just some other how you are feeling | :04:40. | :04:49. | |
at the moment, it has been a huge battle, 11 days, came down to this | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
one. It did not go your way today. We did not deserve to win with the | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
performance today. Australia came out firing and we had enough | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
position in out firing and we had enough | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
were not scoring. But us trying to get more ball than things did not | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
quite come off. It seemed quite evenly matched in the first quarter | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
quite come off. It seemed quite but Australia took a new intensity. | :05:16. | :05:16. | |
We probably had the best but Australia took a new intensity. | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
this week from any team but silver obviously is not as good as gold | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
bird that is life and that is what sport is. How much did that battle | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
with England's take out of you yesterday? Mentally I | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
with England's take out of you ready for that. Obviously that | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
with England's take out of you excuse. Aussie | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
with England's take out of you because they played better. You must | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
be delighted how you have played and led the team? It | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
be delighted how you have played and patchy, trying to keep the intensity | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
and everybody is looking at you. | :05:51. | :05:59. | |
Commiserations, it is a silver everybody is looking at you. | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
is in New Zealand when it comes to netball so go out there and go and | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
see your girls. We will get them netball so go out there and go and | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
next time. You can netball so go out there and go and | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
in her, 17,000 people. Last night netball so go out there and go and | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
there was boxing, today they have done a fabulous job turning it into | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
an netball. I hope the Achilles is on the mend and you can go back and | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
lead your England's 10th but in the meantime we can rejoin Dougie. | :06:29. | :06:44. | |
The match between Scotland and England in the squash is underway. | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
That pick up the action live. A nice shot from Allen Klein. Good | :06:47. | :07:14. | |
to see him taking the initiative. Not necessarily known as a shot | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
maker, but he can kill the ball like that. | :07:19. | :08:41. | |
The English team rewarded for their patients. Harry Leitch playing a | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
couple of balls, not quite hitting it, and Daryl Selby with the | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
counterattack. A nice shot from James Willstrop. A | :08:52. | :09:52. | |
great position, forcing Harry Leitch into the middle of the court. He | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
created the line down the right wall that he could use, he flipped his | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
wrist and hit a perfect shot. The alarm bells will be going off | :10:00. | :11:17. | |
for the Scottish team. A crucial time in this match. | :11:18. | :12:53. | |
Again, Alan Clyne stopping there. These situations, if he flips his | :12:54. | :13:06. | |
wrist a bit, you can almost trap Daryl Selby into that position. | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
These are half chances which might be missed opportunities, certainly | :13:14. | :13:14. | |
at this stage. James Willstrop catching Harry | :13:15. | :14:08. | |
Leitch with his racket. They will play the ball again. | :14:09. | :14:37. | |
Harry Leitch, trying to influence the referee's decision. It is a good | :14:38. | :14:47. | |
shot, but not good enough. They play a let. | :14:48. | :15:49. | |
A nice shot from Alan Clyne. There is an advantage to putting James | :15:50. | :15:57. | |
Willstrop to the front forehand corner, because his movement is not | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
that quick. The risk is that he has got the best hands in the game, so | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
if your shot is not good enough, he will win the rally. But at this | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
stage, it is a good play from Alan Clyne. That was an important point, | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
it keeps them within distance of the English team. | :16:18. | :17:30. | |
position, but great improvisation with the reverse angle. | :17:31. | :19:00. | |
The English team have done a great job of keeping the ball away from | :19:01. | :19:12. | |
the forehand of Harry Leitch. The hammers the ball in. | :19:13. | :19:34. | |
That ball from James Willstrop between the wall and the floor. | :19:35. | :20:24. | |
A great shot from Daryl Selby. A good reaction volley. | :20:25. | :20:35. | |
Again, nice use of his hands, he opened up the racket at the last | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
moment to make sure it went above the tin. The English team four | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
points away from the bronze medal. players left. Sorry. At the end of | :20:45. | :22:10. | |
the first game the assistant English coach was telling James Willstrop | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
that he wants to hold the ball on the forehand and punch it over onto | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
Alan Clyne's side. He managed to do that three times in a row in that | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
rally. The referee not sure whether Alan Clyne's third retrieve was | :22:30. | :22:47. | |
actually above the tin so they play a let. It is an interesting battle. | :22:48. | :22:55. | |
Maybe not the most exciting and dynamic squash, but certainly | :22:56. | :23:08. | |
tactically very interesting. The gaps are so small, it is about | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
finding the gap. Any kind of gap, any window of opportunity you have | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
to focus in on that. Great shot from Alan Clyne. Not | :23:17. | :25:01. | |
enough power down the middle. From James Willstrop. And there we see | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
the advantage you have when you step in front of your opponents. Both | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
Alan Clyne and Harry Leach were in front of the English pair. Seems to | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
be one of the fundamentals, ultimately important in singles and | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
also very important in doubles for a variety of different reasons. That | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
was one of them, you are able to cut the ball off. Back to parity. | :25:28. | :25:47. | |
Real exhibition of the touch play from Willstrop. You can see how low | :25:48. | :25:55. | |
he gets in this shot. Looking down the barrel of the gun. Great shot. | :25:56. | :26:48. | |
Bit of obstruction in the middle, that ball just came so close towards | :26:49. | :26:56. | |
him that he did not manage to get out of the way. The English team | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
three points away from victory. Bit unfortunate. It was a nice hold | :27:01. | :28:11. | |
from Daryl Selby. Could have gone for the kill all the drop shots in | :28:12. | :28:17. | |
the front court. He lifted his racket and really looked like he | :28:18. | :28:20. | |
could kill the ball or drop shot and then punched it to a length, Alan | :28:21. | :28:26. | |
Clyne just losing his feet in the middle of the court. | :28:27. | :28:36. | |
The deception in squash very subtle, very difficult to see. One of the | :28:37. | :28:43. | |
most important parts of the game is to be ambiguous, to show your | :28:44. | :28:47. | |
opponent one way or the other in a relatively small space. When your | :28:48. | :28:53. | |
weight is going one way it is very difficult to change your weight and | :28:54. | :29:42. | |
Alan Clyne adjusting his feet, his shoes, rather. Trying to get | :29:43. | :29:54. | |
Alan Clyne adjusting his feet, his composed. The English team just two | :29:55. | :29:55. | |
points away from the bronze medal. Mr Willstrop, back to the court, | :29:56. | :30:05. | |
please. Great shot from Daryl Selby, forcing | :30:06. | :31:00. | |
him towards the wall, creating space down the middle. That gives the | :31:01. | :31:04. | |
English team match ball. APPLAUSE | :31:05. | :32:46. | |
The smiles and fist pumps from the English team tell the story of how | :32:47. | :32:53. | |
much this means to them. Exceptionally controlled performance | :32:54. | :33:00. | |
from the English team. Great result, especially the Daryl Selby, his | :33:01. | :33:05. | |
first Commonwealth medal. James Willstrop has collected two silver | :33:06. | :33:10. | |
medals in the last two games in the singles. Bronze in Melbourne, in the | :33:11. | :33:20. | |
doubles. And now they collect the bronze medal for England. Perhaps | :33:21. | :33:27. | |
not the most exciting match to watch compared to some of the other | :33:28. | :33:32. | |
matches we have seen. The quick changes of direction, attack and | :33:33. | :33:35. | |
counterattack, trying to find the space, but very controlled. Very | :33:36. | :33:44. | |
disciplined. CHEERING Most of the time they were waiting | :33:45. | :33:48. | |
for their opportunities from the back of the course but you have to | :33:49. | :33:52. | |
hand it to them, when they have space, especially Daryl Selby. He | :33:53. | :34:05. | |
took his opportunities today. The Scottish team Clyne and Leitch, | :34:06. | :34:09. | |
fourth place in India and fourth place again in Glasgow. The worst | :34:10. | :34:14. | |
position to be. Great effort to get here, great effort to make the | :34:15. | :34:25. | |
semifinals. They also did not give any pace, any reason for the crowd | :34:26. | :34:34. | |
to get involved. More inspirational rallies would have | :34:35. | :34:34. | |
to get involved. More inspirational rallies would brought the crowd in. | :34:35. | :34:39. | |
Nice scenes, Daryl Selby. His wife and his baby. This means so much to | :34:40. | :34:45. | |
him. Maybe not the type of squash that | :34:46. | :35:08. | |
his Royal Highness, Prince Albert of Monaco wanted to see, the first time | :35:09. | :35:13. | |
he has seen doubles played. But you have two hand it to the discipline, | :35:14. | :35:17. | |
the attritional play, and the great use of the opportunities from the | :35:18. | :35:23. | |
other team, Selby and will stop. -- James Willstrop. James Willstrop has | :35:24. | :35:28. | |
been visibly uncomfortable the last couple of days on this court, it | :35:29. | :35:32. | |
does not fit his style of play which makes it even more oppressive that | :35:33. | :35:35. | |
he walked away with the bronze medal with Daryl Selby in this | :35:36. | :35:36. | |
competition. Scenes of great joy and | :35:37. | :35:47. | |
congratulations to England, bronze medallist, there. More live squash | :35:48. | :35:51. | |
for you this afternoon on BBC Three but I am handing the baton to you | :35:52. | :35:57. | |
for the last time. It is emotional. So many tears on the final day of | :35:58. | :36:03. | |
the Commonwealth Games. But this is not the end of the game is for | :36:04. | :36:04. |
