Hi everyone and welcome to our Round 3 clash with the Thunderbirds at the University of Sunshine Coast in Sippy Downs. If I’m honest it still feels a little weird to be playing our home games in - and away from so many of our loyal members and fans - but 2020 has been one of those years where you just have to get things done, and I would like to say a huge thank Match Broadcast you again to everyone who’s done so much Watch NSW Swifts take on to get us here. LIVE on Wednesday at 5:00PM AEST on The Sunshine Coast is a beautiful part of Telstra TV or the Live App. the world and the people have been very welcoming so, outside of missing home, we have very little to complain about. This game is going to be a tough one. Like the Swifts, the Adelaide Thunderbirds are one of the foundation teams of elite club and have a rich history. While it’s been a few years since they’ve STAY UP TO DATE won a Premiership, they have shown real nswswifts.com.au improvement recently and their great win against the Giants showed what they are capable of. Last year we had one of our toughest outings of the season in Adelaide and were very lucky to escape with a draw so we’ll have to ensure everything is working in sync or we’ll be in trouble. V As ever we aim to play with the pride, passion and effort the Swifts dress deserves. COMING UP IN ROUND 4: Together We Can.

When Suncorp Super Netball replaced the ANZ Championship in 2017, Paige proved her loyalty to the club. Were there other offers? Of course there were, but she believed in the vision and the new group of players who’d just signed on. Maddy Proud, Helen Housby, Sam Wallace, Sarah Klau – just to name a few. She also had good mates Abbey McCulloch and Maddy Turner at her side, and although Finals would be out of reach for a while, Paige was happy to play the long game. She grew as a person, as a player and as a leader. Soon the Australian Diamonds would come looking for her services again. She became fitter, faster, stronger. The Morning Herald labelled her the ultimate modern netballer. When Proud fell to a season-ending injury against the Firebirds in last year, it was Paige who pulled to group together. There would be no tears, they could wait till after. The Swifts at the Brisbane Entertainment had a job to finish. “SHE BECAME FITTER, Centre and lost both at the “Do it for that girl lying over death.

It was the settler and set the standard for the day - a standard that Paige wouldn’t let slip. Just over an hour later she finally had a Premiership to sit alongside her World Cup title. At 27, Paige is far from done. In fact, like her teammates, she wants this current group to emulate - or even surpass - what Ellis and Cox did in a Swifts dress. But that can wait for another day. Today we celebrate a player whose raw talent, coupled with a fearsome athleticism and work ethic, allows her to bring up 100 caps at elite club netball level. That she’s done it all with one club is even more special. Her family, fiancé, friends, teammates, coaches and club couldn’t be prouder. Well played Paigey. ●

11 Swifts ShoutoutCOMMUNITY SHOUTOUT TO LUCY & ZOE SUBMITTED BY JILL GLUSKIE "Lucy and Zoe met through the Swifts instagram page. It is a very special friendship as Zoe lives in Sydney and Lucy in . We travelled from Hobart to attend Swiftmas 2019. The girls spoke for months before actually meeting in person in a running embrace at the train station. It was a scene all too familiar in many movies and bought a tear to my eye. They spent the next few hours arm in arm meeting the team including their favourites the two Maddy’s. They were on cloud nine. Their long distance friendship blossomed further and were both fortunate to attend the Fan Day in March. Lucy again saved madly to pay for her airfare. Lucy adores the NSW Swifts and proudly wears her Swifts gear every day including to her own netball games in Hobart. Thankyou for bringing two girls together that love the NSW Swifts."
