The Silver Ferns have been dominated by a New Zealand Men's side in what proved to be a testing workout for the side as it builds towards the Commonwealth Games.

The Silver Ferns have booked a place in the final of the Cadbury Netball Series with a 68-59 win over the Mixed Invitational.

The Silver Ferns' chances of getting back on the Commonwealth Games podium received a major boost today as star shooter Grace Neweke was cleared to compete in Birmingham.
