Silver Ferns edge ahead of the Diamonds in Constellation Cup

From Morning Report, 8:50 am on 14 October 2019

The Silver Ferns had another epic battle against Australia yesterday to win the opening game of the Constellation Cup 53-52 in Christchurch. The Ferns trailed by five heading into the final quarter but turned it around to secure their first back to back victory over the Australian Diamonds in four years. The one goal victory was the same margin New Zealand beat their arch rivals by at the World Cup and sets the series up nicely for when the teams meet in Auckland on Wednesday.
