Kurt Fearnley responds to outrage over Commonwealth Games closing ceremony

As the game opened up in the intense Australian heat in Gold Coast, it was Ware's second score that widened the gap for New Zealand.

The memorable phrase used by Sir Alex Ferguson, the Manchester United manager when Gary and Phil Neville won the 1999 European Cup to complete the treble in Barcelona, could easily be transported to Australia's Gold Coast after an extraordinary performance and astonishing finale.

"What a moment!" said coach Tracey Neville.

"Bloomin heck! I actually said to them, 'can you win by a few more goals because this isn't pleasurable on the bench?'" "We support each other 100 per cent".

That worked out at $191,000 a minute for a closing ceremony that failed to show the athletes entering Carrara Stadium, drawing the ire of Seven Network commenatator and former Commonwealth Games bronze medallist swimmer Johanna Griggs.

"I can't wait for the World Cup", he said.

"Hopefully this will give people inspiration to go out and join a club and be part of this dream", she said.

The experienced squad trailed 14-0 at half-time, but an outstanding second half comeback helped them to secure bronze - their first medal at the Commonwealths since winning silver in 2006.

England won their way into their first Games final with a last-second goal against Jamaica a day earlier and reproduced the last-gasp heroics against the world's No.1 team to claim gold. Australia had three prior golds and two runner-up appearances.

I'm reading a great book at the moment called How to Stop Time by Matt Haig, but to be honest, I haven't read it for about 10 days as I have found the secret to stopping time - the Commonwealth Games!

"People are working together, sharing information, and the standard's getting higher".

Harten and Housby were unerring in shooting at goal, but Australia wrested back the initiative to take a one-point lead at the interval. "This is the best day of my life".

"If they keep on with the personal bests, the Welsh records we had, there's no reason why they can't continue to compete with the best in the world in the way they have here". I've dreamed of this for a long time.

She has used contract hold-ups and the absence of established names to introduce younger players whose impact will be felt in the coming years.

"It's a blur. I just remember having the ball in my hands and then running away screaming", Housby said.

"I don't really have any words".
