FIH apologises after Australian penalty re-take in Birmingham 2022 ... (Insidethegames.biz)

The International Hockey Federation has apologised following controversy in last night's women's semi-final penalty shootout at the Birmingham 2022 ...

"I knew if I got it in all of India would probably hate me, but I was just trying to think about my team and getting to that final. "I felt for India at the time, but all of our other girls got their shootouts in so it's not like that one shootout is the be-all and end-all." "Obviously in the moment I was devastated when I'd done the first one, and then I was counting my lucky stars with the second one. "This incident will be thoroughly reviewed by the FIH in order to avoid any similar issues in the future." "The process in place for such situations is that the penalty shootout has to be retaken, which was done. "In the semi-final match of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games between Australia and India (women), the penalty shootout started mistakenly too early (the clock was not yet ready to operate", for which we apologise," the FIH posted on Twitter.

As the rules of the game have it, every player gets a slot of eight seconds to put the ball into the net in the shootout. In one of the major setbacks, the Indian women's hockey team bowed out of the 2022 Commonwealth Games. India was going strength to strength and they left no stone unturned to give a tough fight to the Australians who were undoubtedly the favorites. In one of its kinds of incidents, Malone was given a second chance as a technical official, B Morgan of England, had failed to start the clock on time.

ANALYSIS: Coach Dame Noeline Taurua said there was 'a gulf in individuals' as New Zealand were relegated to the bronze medal match.

Those two things actually equated to four goals and all of a sudden we're on the back foot.” The loss in Birmingham was NZ’s biggest since that shellacking, which combined with the subsequent defeat by Jamaica soon meant the end of Janine Southby’s time in charge and heralded the start of a remarkable turnaround under Taurua which culminated in the World Cup win only a year later. A beautiful mind crunching all the player stats. If quality local sport journalism is important to you, become a Stuff supporter today. You need journalists close enough to smell the liniment. Even allowing for lowered expectations of the current side, this was one of New Zealand netball's most humbling losses.

Australia outclass England to reach Commonwealth Games netball ... (The Guardian)

Defending champions England lost their Commonwealth Games semi-final against Australia, who were inspired by star shooter Gretel Bueta.

With Australia renowned for their ability to retain possession and England finding no tangible answer to Bueta, who shot 43 from 44, Thirlby’s side were unable to locate the turnover ball they needed to mount a comeback. I think she got too much hand on ball and her getting herself back into the circle exposed us. She’s brilliant and versatile coming out of the circle. Thirlby rolled the dice and made changes, but the nightmare only continued for England. The onslaught of defending pressure applied by the Diamonds turned the Roses’ attack end into treacle. They seized the game from start and never relinquished their grip, leaving England to now tackle New Zealand for bronze on Sunday. The disruption favoured Australia who found another gear, picking off an England ball and delivering it to the star shooter Gretel Bueta with relative ease.

Any team will come with their best and we should give our best every single match, so that’s what we did.” The goal stood after a video referral but England refused to surrender. But England, ranked sixth in the world, started on the front foot and forced a series of penalty corners, the last of which produced a skirmish and David Goodfield firing wide. From the last of those chances, England launched a superb counter-attack and Roper raced onto Wallace’s pass. Goals from Phil Roper, his fifth of the tournament, and skipper Zach Wallace gave England a shock 2-0 lead in Birmingham. Australia, ranked number one in the world, were hot favourites to make a seventh successive Commonwealth Games final.

Australia has delivered its greatest day of the 2022 Commonwealth Games, claiming a whopping nine gold medals - and securing some equally impressive ...

I didn’t think that at the time but I think with hindsight it did, it set in that self-belief. A dominant quarter-final and semi-final performance has Mariafe Artacho del Solar and Taliqua Clancy into the gold medal match. England - whose men have never reached the gold medal match - racked up a massive 14 penalty corners but could not convert in the match. First up, Kaye Scott is through to the gold medal fight after winning her women’s light middleweight boxing semi-final against Alcinda Helena Panguane on points. “I thought, ‘What is that?’. I looked down and there was a big nail in my foot and a plank of wood. But Australia began the day brilliantly with five golds in the early hours and didn’t slow down from there, adding four more overnight to finish the day on 59 golds, ahead of England’s 50. It drew a little bit of blood. “It is one of those that will etch in the history books forever. “I feel like I’m continuing the legacy of really strong Australian race walking and to go back-to-back, winning on the Gold Coast four years ago really changed my life. “I’m so sorry to these boys and everyone at home. I’ve got a little bubba Summer who is seven months old and my partner,” he said. Rohan would not have been able to do a lot of this training, he would have been focusing on getting his body right.

In the 26th minute, New Zealand came tantalisingly close to taking the lead from a counter attack. But it was New Zealand who came close to taking the lead in the first quarter, in the form of a penalty corner which was well defended by the Indians. We fought as a team," Savita said.
