Finals

At the end of the round robin stage, Australia, England, Jamaica and New Zealand qualified through to the semi-finals which was played at the Sydney Entertainment Centre. The first semi-final saw New Zealand got off to a blistering start against England scoring the first ten goals in the process before Joan Bryan scored the English first goal. That start would later be the key with New Zealand defeating England by twenty goals.[4] In the second semi, an ankle injury to Sue Kenny didn't deter Australia with the hosts defeating Jamaica by six goals with the third quarter being in the match winning quarter.[5]

After Jamaica won the third-place playoff by nine goals over England, the final was between Australia and New Zealand at the Sydney Entertainment Centre which was sold-out. Despite New Zealand leading at each of the quarter breaks, the Australians stayed in the game with the lead see-sawing many times throughout the match. The final seconds of the match saw replacement goal-keeper Roselee Jencke intercept a pass which was heading to the New Zealand goal-circle which sealed the one point victory with Michelle Fielke stating, "probably the best match" that these two teams played.[6]
