Our Netball Team Get A Beating

SINGAPORE: Malaysia’s campaign in the World Netball Championship came to a shattering end when they were pulverised 94-22 by England in their final Group D match at the Indoor Stadium here yesterday.

The Malaysians had earlier lost to Barbados 40-62 and Malawi 35-66.

“For Malaysia, the reality is that the opposing teams were just too good and too strong for us. We are still miles away from them. And the painful truth is that if we continue to play like this, we will never be able to get close to the world class teams,” said coach Choo Kon Lee.


In another match, title holders New Zealand beat Trinidad and Tobago 75-23 to top Group B and book a ticket to the last eight, where they will be joined by Northern Ireland, who scored a 66-37 win over Samoa in a Group A match.

Malawi are also through to the quarter-finals after their 73-44 win over Barbados in Group D. — Bernama
