Hi everyone and welcome to Round 11 of the 2020 Suncorp Super season. What a cracker of a game we have in-store as we get ready to face-off against the Vixens for the second time in a couple of weeks. Before going further, I think we should address our loss to the Firebirds on Saturday. First and foremost, the Queenslanders deserved Check what goodies the points and pretty much had the upper hand all are inside our 2020 over the court. Membership Packs! While you have to give credit to a team that were simply better on the day, that doesn’t mean View Packages you shouldn’t do some serious soul searching in the short turnaround between games. Believe me, we’ve done a lot of it since Saturday. Honesty is key to success. The fact is we are still looking for consistent cohesive performances Match Broadcast where all parts of our attack and defence fire in Watch NSW Swifts take on sync for a full 60 minutes. LIVE on Tuesday at 5:00PM AEST on We came close against the Sunshine Coast TV or the Netball Live App. Lightning a few weeks ago but we’re the Premiers and we haven’t lived up to that title so far this year. Pressure is privilege, being the hunted is an honour every team wants but our actions haven’t matched our words. Despite this, we’re still second on the ladder and in a strong position to make Finals - even the top-two. Our destiny remains in our own hands. STAY UP TO DATE But now we know that winning ugly won’t nswswifts.com.au suffice any more. As the regular season starts to reach the business end every team is fighting for their lives, and there are three sides outside the top four still in with a good shot of making the playoffs. I want the Firebirds game to be a watershed moment for this team in 2020. Just plodding along and relying on smarts won’t cut it. Put simply, we’ve got to be better. Last year’s success showed V we’re good enough, but ‘good enough’ won’t suffice later this season because no-one stands COMING UP IN ROUND 12: still in this game. v NSW Swifts Let’s hit the reset button.

She goes to bed with her Swifty Bear and constantly sings the Netball team girls song. She loves the team and cheers them on every game (even if it’s from the lounge room at the moment). She tells everyone that Briony is her favourite coach and that one day she will hand the ball to Paigey at the beginning of a game." Entry & Prize Details!
