South Africa’s (SA) Baby Proteas produced their best-ever showing at the Netball World Youth Cup but fell short of a podium finish, losing 55–35 to England in the bronze medal match on Sunday in Gibraltar.

Coach Precious Mthembu praised the team for their effort but noted they struggled to make the most of turnovers and missed crucial scoring chances.

“Our attacking duo carried a heavy load, and the fatigue was visible on the court,” she said. “While no one enjoys losing, we will take the lessons this match has given us. I am incredibly proud of my players, they have represented themselves and SA admirably.”
