BANGKOK – The Singapore netball team’s hunt for a first SEA Games gold medal since 2015 continues after the Vandas lost 52-49 to Malaysia in the final on Dec 17.

World No. 24 Singapore had beaten 33rd-ranked Malaysia 58-56 in the group stage on Dec 15 but could not repeat their victory at the Chantanayingyong Gymnasium in front of a sea of purple-clad Team Nila supporters and Singapore fans.

Netball last featured at the 2019 Philippines Games where Malaysia beat Singapore in the final to retain the title won in 2017.
