Super Netball: The Mavericks have kept their season alive, taking down the the under siege QLD Firebirds.
Firebirds go down after tough week | 01:17West Coast Fever star Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard’s record 73-goal haul has lifted her side to a gritty win over the struggling NSW Swifts on Sunday.
The wheels came off for the Swifts in the second term as the Fever forced them into ball-handling errors which they were able to capitalise on. Deadeyes Jok and Sinclair shot at a combined 97.1% with Jok the highest rated player on the court and Sinclair not missing a single shot. Defensive duo Kim Jenner and Olivia Lewis were dominant with a combined five intercepts and 10 deflections in a disciplined tussle with Diamonds shooter Donnell Wallam .
Sinclair has been deployed as a long bomb specialist off the bench during the power five for most of the season but with added responsibility she has been more effective, nailing 17 supershots in the past three games. Their last home game will be played in Hobart in two weeks’ time and it could be pivotal in the finals race as they face the fourth-place Sunshine Coast Lightning.
“She did fantastic. It was a big ask coming in, then starting and then playing on Liz Watson. She took it all with both hands and did sensationally,” McKinnis said.her part, Watson carried the load for her team with 41 feeds and 35 centre pass receives as her fellow attackers were guilty of basic breaking errors, and trying to work the ball closer to post - which Vixens defenders gobbled up.
It was not the way the Giants hoped to celebrate Julie Fitzgerald’s 400th national league game as head coach.
