The FastNet Ferns have fallen in the final of the World Netball Series, beaten by England 33-26 in Liverpool.

The Ferns fell behind in the third quarter, when England managed to rocket out to a seven goal lead thanks to their power play.

That was ultimatley the difference as the home side scored off their turnovers by converting a lot of two point chances.

New Zealand had earlier pipped Jamaica 30-29 in the semis.

It's the first time the Ferns haven't won the tournament.
