First up was the bronze medal match between Australia and England, marking the first time the Diamonds had contested a Bronze Medal Match.
Both defensive units dominated the opening five minutes, with neither side able to force a turnover, before a missed shot from Kiera Austin then handed England the opportunity to edge into a slender two-goal lead.
Australia responded superbly, forcing England into two misplaced passes to overturn the deficit and race into a three-goal advantage.
Courtney Bruce then produced a crucial interception as the Diamonds extended their lead to five goals with just three minutes remaining in the opening quarter.
The momentum was firmly with Australia, who went on a nine-goal unanswered run to take a commanding 19-11 lead.
England delivered an improved performance in the second quarter, collecting a couple of interceptions, but the Roses struggled to convert those opportunities as Australia disrupted their transition through the court.
Bruce continued to dominate defensively, recording four gains and four interceptions in the opening half as the Diamonds took a comfortable 35-24 advantage into half-time.
England produced a much-improved performance in the third quarter, with Cardwell making an impact at goal shooter, holding strongly in the circle.
Despite England’s improvement, Australia continued to control the contest, edging the quarter by two goals to maintain their commanding advantage heading into the final quarter.
It was an impressive response from the Diamonds, who bounced back superbly from their disappointing Semi-Final defeat to Jamaica.
Australia sealed the Bronze Medal with a convincing 68-50 victory over England, producing a dominant all-round performance to finish their campaign on a high.
Last up at The OVO Hydro was the Gold Medal Match between Jamaica and New Zealand.
Jamaica were hunting their first ever Commonwealth Games (CWG) Gold Medal, whilst New Zealand were looking for their first since 2010.
A missed shot from Romelda Aiken handed New Zealand the opportunity to establish a two-goal advantage midway through the opening quarter, with Jamaica unable to generate any defensive turnovers to halt the Silver Ferns’ momentum.
Another Jamaican error allowed New Zealand to extend their lead, and the Silver Ferns took a 16-13 advantage into the first break.
New Zealand continued to play composed, clinical netball in the second quarter, with Maddy Gordon repeatedly finding Grace Nweke under the post as the Silver Ferns maintained control.
Turnover opportunities were at a premium for much of the quarter before both sides began to create chances during the closing five minutes.
However, New Zealand preserved their advantage and headed into half-time with a 28-25 lead.
Jamaica made an impressive start to the second half as Jodi-Ann Ward produced a well-timed interception to draw the scores level.
The match remained goal for goal until Kelly Jackson came up with two crucial interceptions, allowing New Zealand to pull clear and open up a five-goal advantage with 15 minutes remaining.
The Silver Ferns carried that momentum into the final quarter, scoring the opening three goals to stretch their lead to eight and seize firm control of the Gold Medal Match.
Grace Nweke was the standout performer for New Zealand, finishing with 48 goals in a dominant display as the Silver Ferns claimed their first CWG Gold Medal in 16 years with a 56-48 victory over Jamaica.
