The Silver Ferns must beat England in the semifinals on Saturday if they are to make their first Commonwealth Games gold medal match since 2014.

But they will have to do it without Catherine Hall, as scans have confirmed the defender ruptured her ACL (knee ligament) in the match against Wales.

It means the Kiwis will only have 10 players for their remaining games, as they can’t bring in another.

Silver Ferns shooter Georgia Heffernan skipped Friday’s game due to an ankle injury but was expected to be ready for the semifinal. 

England beat South Africa 58-54 on Friday. Australia meets Jamaica in the other semifinal at midnight on Saturday.

The winners will play in the final at midnight on Sunday, while the bronze medal game is at 8pm.

In a statement on Saturday, Netball New Zealand and the NZ Team said they were providing support to Hall with a rehabilitation plan in place.

Head coach Dame Noeline Taurua said the team was devastated for the player. 

“We’re absolutely gutted for Catherine. She’s worked incredibly hard to get herself here and to have this happen is really tough.

“She’s a massive part of our team and we’ll wrap around her and make sure she has everything she needs as she works through the next steps".

Hall will remain with the team for the remainder of the Glasgow campaign.
