What they're saying

"
Scotland failed to build on their spirited showing against Jamaica in their final group game, losing to Uganda and missing the chance to finish third. The Thistles went agonisingly close to recording the biggest netball upset of these Commonwealth Games in a two-point tussle with 2022 silver medallists Jamaica on Wednesday, and would have hoped to go one step further on Thursday. Having already secured their highest finish at a Commonwealth Games, the Thistles will go again in their final match, a play-off for seventh place against Malawi on Friday.
