Share Time flies when you are having fun and day five of the Commonwealth Games is already over. Today saw England qualify for the semi-finals with victory over Uganda while Wales and Scotland suffered defeats at the hands of Australia and Jamaica respectively. The last match of Tuesday saw Trinidad & Tobago captain Shaquanda Greene-Noel battle to an 80-24 loss to New Zealand. It was fitting to end with Greene-Noel as she is the undisputed queen of netball Twitter and today we are rounding up the best of social media so far. England and Uganda battle it out The Games started off with Surrey Storm’s Peace Proscovia being selected as Uganda’s flag bearer Leading out her country 🇺🇬 A proud moment for @SurreyStorm‘s @peace_proscovia who is flagbearer for Uganda 👏 We’re not crying, you are 😭 #B2022 pic.twitter.com/vgPewljebS — Vitality Netball Superleague (@NetballSL) July 28, 2022 And today the skipper was in place to lead the SheCranes’ fight against England in the first half, scoring eight of their 35 goals as she played 26 intense minutes, and her side has had plenty of support in the crowd. PICTURE OF THE DAY📸 It is not just about what happens on the court, it is the faces we see around the court too🥰 The support in Birmingham has been fantastic so far🙌#B2022 | #NetballFamily pic.twitter.com/Lc1AUfAupT — World Netball (@WorldNetball_) July 31, 2022 Down the other end of the court, Eleanor Cardwell of Manchester Thunder was up to her usual tricks, sinking 27 goals as England won 56-35, and has provided lots more entertainment too.

Nothing is more accurate than this ⬇️ https://t.co/iNGQ96Mup9 — Celtic Dragons (@celtic_dragons) July 31, 2022 It was a true captain’s performance for the defender against New Zealand putting in more gains, intercepts and deflections than anyone else on her team. 🇹🇹 Different team 🏆 New competition 😝 Same @QuandaNoel facials @celtic_dragons | #B2022 pic.twitter.com/0h1UIsydxU — Vitality Netball Superleague (@NetballSL) July 29, 2022 And she has even had time to challenge this guy to a dance-off.
