This is cited from an article, about playing university-level netball.

‘‘A turn-over forced by substitute wing defense Celine Gunaratnam briefly inspired the hosts, who then scored three consecutive goals, courtesy of Sefton and Jones, to tie the scores.

The match looked to be heading towards a stalemate, but after the hosts spurned another great chance from close range, the away side made them pay, scoring in clinical nature after a swift counter-attack, to triumph.

Despite the manner in which they lost, Jones was pleased with the side’s performance, suggesting that it was a close encounter and hinted that they needed to improve their fitness.

“I think we did well as a team,” she said. “Obviously the one-goal difference does show that we were not walked all over out there. It was an even game, it was tough and they definitely worked us really hard.’’
