England placed third, only losing to Australia and New Zealand themselves, and this would set the tone for the next half-century of netball.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first-ever World Netball Championships in 1963 not only established a standard set of rules for competition but also on the very first day set a record.
