Netball: Fourth win for under-21

New Zealand's winning run at the world youth netball championship in the Cook Islands continued today with another comprehensive victory in pool play.

The under-21 New Zealand team had little problem in beating Northern Ireland 97-25 after leading 44-13 at halftime.

It was their fourth lop-sided victory, following on from a 102-24 defeat of Barbados, an 89-31 win over Trinidad and Tobago, and yesterday's 78-24 thumping of Scotland.

Main rivals Australia have also been in dominant form, accounting for Botswana 97-11 yesterday, while Jamaica also looked strong in their latest game, a 76-35 win over Malawi yesterday.
