The Silver Ferns have been unsuccessful in their bid for the Constellation Cup title going down 58-47 to the Australian Diamonds in Wellington.

The Silver Ferns entered the Constellation Cup decider as favorites after their 11 goal win over the Australian Diamonds only four days earlier but it was Australia's strong start and 'backpack' style of defence that controlled the match from the outset.

Australia were 18‑13 up after the first quarter and led 32‑24 at half time.

Last night's decider was the final game of the international season for the Silver Ferns, trials ahead of the 2019 Quad Series which will begin in December.
