Super Netball: The West Coast Fever are back in the winner's circle, taking out a close win over Sunshine Coast.
Young talent time amid growing injury toll as the race for fourth heats up: Super Netball Talking Points Eight rounds down, six to go, and the competition seems to be balancing on a knife’s edge once more.
This week, the heat is well and truly on the Fever as they shape up for another battle with the Thunderbirds – who only fell to the Fever by a single goal in round six. Three weeks later, can they get the job done? Three late omissions set tongues wagging on the weekend, with goal shooters Jo Harten and Sam Wallace-Joseph missing in action against their respective Melbourne opposition, and Georgie Horjus proving how important she is to the Thunderbirds’ success.
While Horjus missed round eight, there is no denying her influence in the competition. Factor in the form of teammate Tayla Williams, who continues to play out of her skin each week – though only got 15 minutes on the weekend – and the Thunderbirds have two of the top young prospects in the competition.
Olivia Wilkinson continues to earn more court time for the Fever, with 21 minutes this round proving her ability to play through pressure situations, while Firebirds goal attack Emily Moore got the start over Tippah Dwan this week in an intriguing move for the side.Source: Getty ImagesOnly two weeks ago, many would have thought the top four was well and truly locked in place.
And while the Firebirds and GIANTS sit in the bottom two, it’s not out of the realm of possibility for either of these teams to make the top four with six rounds remaining.
