Though they failed to make it to the semifinals stage of their own Netball World Cup, Spar Proteas captain Bongiwe Msomi has maintained their campaign is not as bad it looks.
During the tournament, South Africa have lost only once to Jamaica and missed out on the semis on goal difference and Msomi said there is no shame in what they put on the table.South Africa will wrap up their World Cup with another clash against Uganda on Sunday to determine who is going to finish in fifth place.“I am proud of the team, we had one loss to Jamaica, who have really played very good netball in this tournament,” Msomi said after the win over Tonga on Friday.
“We called the match against Tonga as our own ‘semifinal’ and this means we have a final against Uganda on Sunday and they are really a good side. We are looking forward to another battle against them.”Besides the fact that they are going for a win, Msomi said the match against Uganda will be about ending on a high note and maintaining their world rankings.
