IALT:Reflect on what I was reading on Newshub.

Today I was reading a article about the Silver Ferns Beating England.The Silver Ferns have beaten England in their netball series, 2-1, after taking the third and deciding test in Hamilton.In a pulsating match, the Ferns prevailed 62-55 to claim the Taini Jamison Trophy.The win avenges Sunday’s 3-point loss to England in Napier and prevents the England side from achieving their first ever series win over New Zealand.

Led by shooters Maria Tutaia and Bailey Mes, the Silver Ferns put on a late scoring surge to snatch the game by seven goals after going goal for goal with the Roses for much of the final quarter.In a game where the lead swung from side to side, it was the Silver Ferns who edged ahead early in the third quarter, turning their four-goal deficit into a one-point 44-43 lead.

And a late burst of scoring from Maria Tutaia and player of the match Bailey Mes in the final three minutes prevented England from grabbing their first-ever series win over New Zealand as the Ferns closed the game out 62-55.

Black Ferns into World Cup final

IALT:Reflect on what happened to the Black Ferns 

Today I was reading an article about Black Ferns going to the world cup and I really enjoyed them beating Canada.

Coach Glenn Moore  said while it was satisfying to reach the final they made too many errors around the breakdown and coughed up possession too often on their way to their 45-12 win.

I was really shocked that the black ferns actually made it in to the RWC and did you know that the Winger Portia Woodman scored four tries in the match and is the tournament’s leading try scorer on 13.

Woodman said there was a noticeable increase in intensity being a semi final and the Americans physicality never let up.I really enjoyed reading about this article.
