England have won the Vitality Netball Nations Cup for the first time after beating South Africa in Sunday’s final.. It proved sixth time lucky for the Vitality Roses since the Nations Cup/Quad Series was established in 2012 after five previous final defeats.. After South Africa made a fast start in the match to lead 15-12 at the end of the first quarter, Jess Thirlby’s side fought back impressively and claimed a 61-55 triumph to send the crowd at Copper Box Arena into raptures.. Although South Africa rallied late in the third quarter despite having their centre sent off, leaving them down to six players for five minutes, England stretched clear in the final quarter when their opponents were back to full strength to win by six points.. England’s win avenges South Africa’s 61-59 group-stage triumph last weekend.. Twitter This content is provided by Twitter, which may be using cookies and other technologies.
