Following a one goal difference to decide game 2 of the Cadbury Netball Series between the Silver Ferns and the Aotearoa Men, the scene has been set for an enthralling game 3 in Wellington.

After the Men got off to a flyer in the first quarter of game one, it was the Ferns who had the best of the starts in game 2. The injection of Junior Tana into the game made a difference for the Men at quarter time. His experience and ball delivery to Player of the Match Jay Geldard was telling.

The men continued to narrow the Ferns' lead throughout the game and got to within a whisker of levelling the series. Although it wasn't to be, it does set up a great showdown for game 3.
