00:00Offensive effort from New Zealand.
00:02Can George...
00:06want to make sure that they can score their centre passes
00:09right through to the end of this game.
00:11An offensive rebound again to her.
00:15But the day has all been about New Zealand.
00:18Jamaica are going to make a late change here.
00:20Crystal Plummer limps off.
00:22Nicole Dixon, Rochester, we'll see out the last one minute and 44 seconds.
00:26In the centre.
00:28Ball in hand.
00:35Out wide.
00:36Lovely high release.
00:38Beckford.
00:42Dixon, Rochester.
00:44Quick give and go.
00:45Just sitting in space is the Silver Ferns.
00:48You see there Kate Heffernan in the air.
00:49Wanted the intercept to be taken.
00:51That forces it in.
00:53Romelda Aitken-George just got to go to post at this point.
00:57So just a minute and 13 left as Beckford takes another goal and 16 from her today.
01:07But for New Zealand...
01:10Well, they'll enjoy this last minute of netball.
01:13A gold medal awaits them.
01:16Gordon, quick offload.
01:18Wecky, well, can't pull it in.
01:20And unlikely to reach that 50 goals, which she's done 11 times historically, equalling the great Irene Van Dyke.
01:28In the meantime, Jamaica, potentially a last passage of play through court for them.
01:38Still holding this up, the Silver Ferns.
01:41Releasing that pressure though again.
01:43In 30 seconds, Beckford.
01:46Karen Berger.
01:47Further over.
01:49Yes.
01:51Lines up.
01:52Goes with Aitken-George.
01:5518 seconds.
01:56They'll get a centre pass here, Jamaica.
01:58But we're going to talk all about New Zealand here.
02:01Plenty of challenges behind the scenes in the lead up to this.
02:04They won the semi-final against England.
02:07And they awaited Jamaica, who looked like they might have just spent their energy yesterday.
02:14But here we go, folks.
02:15New Zealand.
02:16A golden day it is for New Zealand.
02:18From contenders to champions.
02:21At Commonwealth Games, gold belongs to New Zealand for the first time since 2010.
02:28And that's the final whistle here in our bedroom.
02:31New Zealand have beaten it.
02:33They've done it.
02:34The Silver Ferns.
02:35And the 2026 Commonwealth Games Netball Champions.
02:48So the joy.
02:54Extraordinary result.
02:55The third gold medal for New Zealand in the history of netball at the Commonwealth Games.
03:03And their coaching staffs, Dame Nolene Tarua and Bryony Acle, masterminds.
03:11Look at the tears on Grace Wecky.
03:15Cat, I come straight to you.
03:17I can see a tear in your eye.
03:18You've played for the Silver Ferns.
03:20This means a lot.
03:22What can I say?
03:23I'm a sensitive gangster, Sue.
03:25After knowing what they've been through, to see them come out here and take this goal in this fashion means
03:31everything.
03:31Not just to these girls that are here in front of us, but to the girls that they had to
03:35leave behind, the programs that they come from, everyone in New Zealand.
03:39We knew we could do it.
03:41They've come out and they've shown everybody exactly who they are.
03:44So there's your final results as the players, well, they celebrate around the court.
