UK TV coverage of Netball at the Commonwealth Games
Well its that time again, the Commonwealth Games. This year they are in Melbourne which means that those of us here in the UK either need to be able to work the video recorder, or be able to stay up until three in the morning!
The groups are:
| A | B |
| New Zealand South Africa England Fiji St Vincent & the Grenadines Malawi |
Australia Jamaica Samoa Barbados Wales Singapore |
Top two teams from each group through to semi-finals
I haven’t found any comprehensive list of what’s on when yet, so here are a few different sources (all from the BBC website) put together in one list. Also further down the page are instructions for videoing those extra freeview channels (coming soon)

I’ll update this site with more info as and when I find it. Please email [email protected] if you have any additions or corrections. The schedules are quite confusing because we’re in a different timezone and “day 5” there spans two days here :)
