In Sunday’s third and final game of the season, Australia’s men’s netball team won 64-32 against England Thorns in a clean sweep of the Aurora Series.

The Kelpies, who had already unassailably clinched the series on Saturday with a 62-30 victory at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham, had already clinched the series.

That came after Australia won the opening game 63-34 at Copper Box Arena on May 25.

In Sunday’s final game of the three-match Test series, which was being played for the first time by the two teams in England, the world number ones put together another impressive display to seal victory.

Although their rivals have been competing on the international stage since the 1980s, England’s men only recently played their first international game in 2022.

By the end of the first quarter, the Kelpies, led by the impressive Josh Byron, had a 20-7 lead.

The home crowd led the Thorns in a much more competitive second quarter as the first of a two-header, before London Pulse’s Superleague clash with Leeds Rhinos.
