Gold Coast 2018: Winning end to Commonwealth Games for Blue & Gold’s Chelsea Lewis and Zanele Vimbela

The Wales netball team at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games

Team Bath Netball’s Chelsea Lewis and Zanele Vimbela finished their Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games campaigns on a winning note as the minor placings were decided on Thursday.

Shooter Lewis produced an excellent 90 per cent conversion rate as she scored 35 times – taking her tournament tally to 192 goals – in Wales’ 81-32 victory over Fiji in the 11th-placed play-off. Former Blue and Gold player Amanda Varey, a University of Bath Pharmacy graduate, provided 32 assists from wing attack.

Defender Vimbela was an unused replacement as South Africa beat Uganda 53-42 to finish fifth overall.

Focus now turns to Saturday’s semi-finals, with England’s match against Jamaica being moved forward to 6.02am BST.
