2023 Netball World Cup review: Australia
THERE was plenty of gold to match the Diamonds’ green as Australia won its 12th Netball World Cup. The Diamonds looked in trouble after going down to England and having to play a red-hot Jamaica, but as they always tend to do, they just found a way. There was a stage where failing to medal, […]
2023 Netball World Cup review: England
ENGLAND fell agonisingly short of a Netball World Cup gold medal, but was able to still claim the silver, improving on its Commonwealth Games performance last year.

2023 Netball World Cup review: New Zealand
REIGNING champions New Zealand ultimately went home from Cape Town without a medal, which will leave the Silver Ferns with a frustrated feeling.

On the other hand though, the Proteas were unable to finish inside the top five […]
2023 Netball World Cup review: Malawi
MALAWI secured seventh spot at the 2023 Netball World Cup after overcoming Tonga in the playoff match.

Though never completely out of games, […]
2023 Netball World Cup review: Tonga
TONGA was regarded as a nation to watch in the 2023 Netball World Cup, not necessarily in terms of winning, but when it came to upsetting the apple cart. The Tala, which featured a host of players familiar with especially Australian, but also New Zealand and England leagues, won three of its six group matches […]
