KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaica’s Sunshine Girls scored a sensational one goal 46-45 win over defending champions and world number one ranked Australia in Saturday’s semi-final of the netball competition at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.
The win was revenge for an equally close loss in the final four years ago in Birmingham, UK and saw the Jamaicans qualify for back-to-back finals.
In Sunday’s final, Jamaica will face New Zealand in a rematch of their Pool B game earlier this week which the Kiwis won 53-48.
