Jamaica 50-49 England: Sunshine Girls snatch last-gasp victory to send series to decider | Netball News

November 26, 2024:

The Vitality Netball Horizon Series is heading to a decider after a last-gasp goal from the Jamaica Sunshine Girls secured them a 50-49 victory in Kingston.

After England picked up a 55-47 win in Manchester in the second match to move 1-0 up following a 49-49 draw in the opening match, Jamaica levelled the series on home soil.

The Sunshine Girls quickly raced to a 5-0 lead, but England grew into the contest to end the opening quarter two goals down at 12-10.

With Jamaica then extending their lead to three goals at half-time, England matched them in the third quarter to keep the contest close.

With three goals still the difference with one quarter to play, the Vitality Roses searched for the winning goal but Jamaica ran down the clock and sealed their winning moment, leaving no time for Jess Thirlby’s side to hit back.

The final game of the Vitality Netball Horizon Series takes place on Wednesday November 27.

The Vitality Roses will next be back in action on home soil when they play Malawi, South Africa and Uganda in a four-day tournament on 1-2 and 8-9 February 2025 across two venues in London and Nottingham.
