A career-best showing from Hannah Petty has led to the Adelaide Thunderbirds captain snaring a spot in the team of the week but there’s little doubt the dual-premiership winner would hand that back for a win.
The Thunderbirds and NSW Swifts played out the match of the season at Sydney’s Ken Rosewall Arena, with the Swifts staging a spirited fightback to keep their unbeaten record alive.
Petty was outstanding at centre, with 19 goal assists, 31 feeds and two crucial gains and while her team were pegged back after holding a double-digit lead at one stage in the third term, they showed they remain premiership threats, even without star defender Shamera Sterling-Humphrey.

Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard was back doing Fowler-Nembhard things in becoming the first player to sink 6500 Super Netball goals, her only miss coming from a super shot attempt in the final seconds with the game won.
