news24.com

A spirited South African side lost to England in their bronze netball Quad Series playoff encounter at the Cape Town International Convention Centre on Wednesday.

There is still a lot of work that needs to be done ahead of July's Netball World Cup, as Proteas went down 49-42 to finish the series in fourth place.

South Africa opened the scoring as Lenize Potgieter slotted a goal and the hosts maintained the lead for the first five minutes, but silly mistakes led England back into the match.

The Proteas came back nicely, however, as the quarter ended 12-all. It was an enthralling second quarter with both sides again neck and neck.
