Incredible scenes as coach in tears after embattled Super Netball side scores heroic win

"I'm not even thinking about it..." | 02:15During the week interim Queensland Firebirds coach Katie Walker promised fans four wins from four games to end their troubled Super Netball season.

Walker underscored the confidence her temporary appointment has given her players, pumping them up during a break saying, “We battle until the end of the game. We promised ourselves and we will.” With Firebirds up for the fight, they could have easily reverted to the form which has seen them anchored to the bottom of the leader, when Fever jumped out to an early eight point lead.

Despite numerous personnel changes, Fever couldn’t keep Wallam out of the action, and she kept piling on the scoreboard pressure to take Firebirds out to a two point lead by half time. Young Isabelle Shearer earned her first start of the season at goal keeper for the Firebirds, and her pivotal last minute two rebounds locked Fever out of the game after momentum had swung back their way.
