Netball: The Sunshine Coast Lightning and Thunderbirds have taken round 9 wins, defeating the Swifts and Fever respectively.
Lightning and Thunderbirds get Ws | 00:51We expected some ladder movements during round nine, and that’s exactly what we got after a massive long weekend of Suncorp Super Netball action.Watch every game of the Suncorp Super Netball Season live on Kayo. New to Kayo?With the first clash between these two sides just three weeks ago, all eyes were on the Adelaide Thunderbirds and West Coast Fever as they went head-to-head once more.
The move of Alice Teague-Neeld into the goal circle was a surprise to many, and while that move did swing the momentum back the Fever’s way, the Thunderbirds did not take their foot off the pedal. With five rounds remaining, the question on the Lightning’s shoulders right now is whether their current form can last.They seem unlikely to move up on the ladder unless they can stop the Vixens, Fever and Thunderbirds from winning in the process.The pressure is well and truly on this Lightning side to hold onto that position and secure a finals berth.
It was a similar story for the Mavericks, who have had more than their fair share of woes in their short history, and despite a maiden home victory over the Swifts last week, it wasn’t to be against the Vixens and their 9000 strong crowd. With the Mavericks and Firebirds set to go head-to-head this week and one guaranteed to move up the ladder, only time will tell where their seasons go from here.This round saw a flurry of standout goaling moments, reminding fans that the defenders aren’t the only ones with a bit of flair.
Sophie Dwyer, Kiera Austin and Gabby Sinclair all shot at a high accuracy from range, challenging their opponents during the Power Five and keeping their heads high in the process.
