NETBALL - 2010 COMM GAMES NEW ZEALAND vs ENGLAND At the 2010 Commonwealth Games, the New Zealand netball team topped their pool with four easy victories and a 47–41 win over England. They then won their semi-final against Jamaica comfortably, while the Australian Diamonds’ five-goal margin over England in the other semi-final suggested they were a capable match for the Silver Ferns, their traditional rivals. Just how close the teams were became clear as the match, the longest official game of netball ever played, stretched over 84 pulsating minutes. The match was tight until the Silver Ferns led by seven goals early in the fourth quarter. An Australian comeback reminiscent of their surge to victory in the 1999 world championships final levelled the scores at full-time. There was still nothing between the two teams after 14 minutes of extra time. Under a rule which its drafters surely never expected to be needed, play would continue until one team was two goals ahead. Both Australian shooters missed their chance for glory; Maria Tutaia did not, and the Silver Ferns won 66–64. The epic victory won New Zealand’s second consecutive Commonwealth Games netball gold medal and matched Australia’s triumphs in 1998 and 2002. The balance has subsequently shifted once again. In 2014 the Australian Diamonds thrashed the Silver Ferns 58–40 in the gold medal match. In 2018 the New Zealanders failed to reach the final for the first time and were beaten 60–55 by Jamaica for the bronze. It was scant consolation that the Australasian duopoly was broken when Helen Housby scored in the last second of the final to give England a one-goal victory over Australia.

The Fabio Wardley vs Daniel Dubois fight week events have been opened up to the public in Manchester. Ipswich’s Wardley defends his WBO world heavyweight title to former world champion Dubois this weekend on May 9 at the Co-op Live in Manchester. Fabio Wardley has called for Daniel Dubois to make it “a firefight” straightaway when they box for his WBO heavyweight world title next month. Wardley puts his championship on the line against former world titlist Dubois in Manchester. Dubois is known for his tremendous punching power. He was the last man to beat Anthony Joshua, knocking out the heavyweight star when they clashed at Wembley Stadium in 2024.Since then Dubois lost the IBF title to Oleksandr Usyk but will be looking to become a two-time champion when he fights WBO boss Wardley on May 9. Wardley is a finisher himself, notably when stopping Justis Huni late on and Frazer Clarke early in their rematch. He beat Joseph Parker last year too and is now the WBO heavyweight world champion. He intends to take the fight to Dubois from the first bell. "We have all the intention as a team of getting straight in there and getting straight stuck in, getting into his face and making it a fight, making it a firefight," Wardley told Sky Sports News. Daniel Dubois has all the tools to beat Fabio Wardley comfortably, but he won't utilise them. That is the opinion of 'Triple D's' former trainer Shane McGuigan.The esteemed British coach worked with Dubois for four stoppage wins over Bogdan Dinu, Joe Cusumano, Trevor Bryan and Kevin Lerena between 2021 and 2022. They would subsequently go their separate ways ahead of Dubois' first defeat to Oleksandr Usyk in August 2023, with Don Charles taking over the hot seat. Under Charles' guidance, Dubois strung together a trio of impressive knockout wins over Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua, culminating in a short reign as IBF heavyweight champion. While he would eventually drop the black and gold strap to Usyk in a rematch last July, he has since been handed an immediate title shot against WBO heavyweight champion Wardley on May 9. Anthony Joshua has returned to Oleksandr Usyk's training camp as he continues to step up plans to return. Joshua defeated Jake Paul by brutal KO in December, but was involved in a car accident later that month in Nigeria that killed two of his close friends. For a while it appeared the Briton's boxing future was in doubt, as he took time away to deal with things more important than the sport. But it appears he is closing in on a return to full training camp, having been pictured in training with current unified heavyweight champion Usyk.
