England 57-64 Jamaica
Jamaica win best-of-three series 2-1 in Coventry’s Ricoh Arena

The England Roses lost to Jamaica 57-64 in the final game of their three-match Vitality Netball International Series on Sunday evening in Coventry.

A capacity crowd of over 4,000 fans packed into the Ricoh Arena and following an astonishing eight-goal turnaround after three quarters, they were hoping England would finish the job and seal a series win. However, the Sunshine Girls handled the pressure better and overwhelmed England in the final few minutes to win eventually by a comfortable seven-goal margin.

Ama Agbeze was named as player of the series for England while Jamaica’s shooting machine Jhaniele Fowler-Reid picked up the overall player of the series award.
