The Fiji Netball team has lost to Trinidad and Tobago 58-40 in their second pool game in the World Netball Championship this afternoon.

It also means the 5th seeded Fiji side will now miss the main quarterfinal and will feature for the 9th to 16th place in the World Netball Championships.

The Matila Waqanidrola captained side struggled to find their form from the opening quarter when they were down 14-11 and at halftime Trindad and Tobago led 27-23.

In the 3rd quarter like last night the Fiji side fell apart where Trinidad and Tobago extended their lead to 41-29.

In the last quarter, Trinidad and Tobago showed they mean business with a 58-40 win against Fiji.

Waqanidrola said they failed to start well and at the end had to pay the price.
