- England 90-29 Barbados
- Coach Jess Thirlby uses all 12 players in emphatic victory
Jess Thirlby, England’s head coach, described their 90-29 win over Barbados as a “confidence booster” as they began their Netball World Cup campaign with a complete performance in Cape Town.
Having left last summer’s Commonwealth Games without any silverware, England looked fresh-faced as they imposed themselves in the game early in front of a lively crowd in South Africa’s “Mother City”.
