West Coast Fever’s challenge for the minor premiership continues after crushing the finals hopes of the Adelaide Thunderbirds. The 68-63 match, in front of a voracious Perth crowd, is Fever’s ninth win on the trot and has rocketed them up the ladder to second spot. It also equalled the record for winning the most consecutive Super Netball games. Despite the victory, the close scoreline did little to improve Fever’s goal percentage which is all that is standing between them and the top spot.

West Coast Fever have locked in a Super Netball finals berth for the sixth consecutive year, after their 69-63 Round 10 victory over a feisty Melbourne Mavericks. Fever have now won eight straight and with an excellent goal percentage, this means that even if they drop their remaining four games there is no mathematical chance of them falling out of the top four. The reverse is true for the Mavericks, with finals now completely out of reach after another horrific year battling injuries.

The Queensland Firebirds’ inspirational start to their Super Netball season continues with a massive upset 67 to 54 point victory over the West Coast Fever. The Fever, still without their superstar goaler, Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard, put up a courageous fight but couldn’t withstand a hungry home side and shooting masterclass from new import Mary Cholhok. Standing at 201 centimetres tall, the Ugandan was unmatchable in the air and finished with MVP honours and 42 at 86% per cent.
