Netball: Australia beat England, claim tri-series

LONDON - Australia clinched the international netball tri-series with a 47-40 win over England in London today.

Australia began slowly at Earl's Court and the scores were still level late in the third quarter, but their fitness won out as they dominated from then on to win comfortably.

Combined with the earlier win over New Zealand, the result meant Australia clinched the brief tri-series, which is part of the build-up toward the world championships in Auckland in November.
