Super NEtball: The West Coast Fever pipped the Thunderbirds in a thriller, while the Sunshine Coast Lightning handed the Vixens their first defeat of the season.

Fever win a thriller as Vixens cop loss | 01:19Giants star Jamie-Lee Price has become the first player sent-off under Super Netball’s new no-warning suspension rules in her side’s 76-52 loss to NSW rivals the Swifts on Sunday.

“I actually didn’t see what happened or hear the umpires say how long the suspension was for. That’s probably a lesson in terms of the communication to both sides. Super Netball is throwing these challenges at us every week that we haven’t had before,” Swifts coach Briony Akle said. Giants’ defensive duo Tilly McDonell and Jodi-Ann Ward were working overtime but failed to gain rebounds from much-taller Housby and Sam Wallace-Joseph.

“It’s always going to be really hotly contested in a derby. There was a lot of 50-50 ball tonight and we wanted to contest early on in the game, then as the game opened up for them, they did run away with it a bit,” Harten said.MAVS NAB SECOND WIN “Her experience at this level is really important to us. This week she said to the team, ‘I am here and I am available’. I told her to give more presence and she did that and she was exceptional in the way she did it,” Mavericks coach Tracey Neville said.

Firebirds captain Kim Ravaillion started for the first time in 2024 after rehabbing from spinal surgery in the off-season. She was in the thick of the action straight away, getting her hand to a deflection off the first centre pass. In her 42 minutes, across wing defence and centre, she had eight goal assists, one gain and only one turnover.Firebirds head coach Bec Bulley was a late withdrawal from Round 6 due to family bereavement.

The Vixens were without the rangy arms and hard tagging style of Kate Eddy, who was forced out of Round 6 due to a lower leg complaint. Eddy’s absence was immediately felt as the Lightning got out to the best start possible, keeping the Vixens scoreless for overDespite clawing back the lead in the first quarter, the Vixens then dropped the second to find themselves in unfamiliar chase mode at half time.

MVP Lessa MiMi had her best performance for the season feeding Lightning’s circle 30 times and contributing two intercepts, while rising star Ash Ervin finished on three each of intercepts, rebounds and pick-ups.Vixens might be sitting comfortably in the top two, but it’s based on volume rather than accuracy in the circle. The Diamonds shooting end of Kiera Austin and Sophie Garbin are scoring just 82.3 per cent for the season – the second worst efficiency of all teams.
