Scotland settled for 11th place at the Netball World Cup after rounding off their campaign with a 53-42 win over Barbados in Liverpool.

A close group-stage defeat to Uganda and a draw with Trinidad had effectively ended the Scots’ hopes of claiming the top-eight finish they had targeted before the tournament.

But they rebounded well with 17-year-old goal shooter Emma Barrie top scoring to enable them to better their finish at the 2015 World Cup.
