West Coast Fever capped a dominant season to take out the Super Netball Reserves crown against the Mavericks as England international Eleanor Cardwell made a successful return from for the Melbourne side this year.
After claiming the minor premiership, the West Coast Fever Reserves booked a ticket straight to the title decider as the top-ranked team after an undefeated campaign.
And the slick Fever Reserves showed why no team had been able to topple them this year as they claimed a 67-57 victory at Melbourne’s Waverley Netball Centre on Sunday.
DAY 3 REPLAYS
West Coast Fever v Melbourne Mavericks (Grand Final)
Watch the full replay in the window above.
Fever goal shooter Jasmah Haywood was a dominant target under the post, scoring 57 goals for the winners in an impressive partnership with goal attack Sloan Burton (10).
Captain and centre Zoe Cransberg was a marshal in the midcourt for West Coast, while the defensive trio of Caitlyn Brown, Scarlet Jauncey and Jessica Repacholi also made the Mavs’ attack work hard to find a path into the circle.
While the Mavs, competing in their first season in the Super Netball Reserves, fell short, they welcomed Super Netball star goaler Cardwell back from injury for her first game of the year.
Cardwell has been sidelined since the eve of the season when she underwent knee surgery for the second time in six months.
The Roses goaler finished with 31 goals, with some impressive shooting from two-point range, after being injected into the match at goal shooter for the start of the second quarter.
Cardwell also had a spell at goal attack in the third quarter before moving back to goal shooter in the final quarter.
The Fever led at every change, including a 13-goal buffer leading into the final quarter, but a late flurry of super shots from Cardwell was not enough to get the Mavs’ over the line.
Mavs’ goaler Teal Hocking (16 goals) also impressed with her accuracy after being injected into the match in the second quarter at goal attack.
Capital Darters v Sunshine Coast Bolts
Sharpshooter Sally Jenkins has lifted the Sunshine Coast Lightning Bolts to the unlikeliest of victories against the Capital Darters in a Super Netball Reserves finals thriller.
Trailing by 10 goals entering final quarter, Jenkins almost singlehandly pulled off a stunning 61-60 win with some precision shooting and supershots dare to get her team over the line.
Her accuracy from the two-point line was the difference in the final few frantic minutes, including what would be the go-ahead two-pointer and matchwinner with 30 seconds remaining.
Jenkins finished with 28 goals and was well supported by Kaylin van Greunen, who contributed 19 goals, while Rylee Burns chimed in with 10.
Nalani Makunde scored a game-high 46 goals for the Darters, but despite her heroics just couldn’t get her team over the line when momentum swung late towards the Bolts.
Territory Storm v Vixens Academy
A competitive Northern Territory Storm can hold their heads up high after pressing their more credentialed Vixens Academy opponents for most of their contest.
Despite Vixens blowing the margin out to 21 goals with a 18-9 last quarter, the Storm gave a good account of their ability in their fighting 47-68 loss
Led by the experienced Caitlin Hill and Isabelle Hodgson, who together produced 39 goals, the Vixens established a 12-goal halftime lead.
Skipper Ally O’Connor controlled the midcourt with a strong performance.
Both teams produced a 16-all third before Vixens again took control of the contest in the last.’
Jamaica Jauncey was a powerhouse as goal shooter with 32 goals for the Storm and goal attack Brooke Wilson enjoyed some good moments with nine of her own.
Tasmania Wild v Adelaide Thunderbirds Futures
Another masterclass by Adelaide Thunderbirds Futures goal shooter Lucy Austin has delivered a thumping 85-27 defeat to Tasmania Wild.
This time Austin landed a whopping 64 goals as the Futures punished their island counterparts to the tune of 57 goals.
Incredibly, Austin scored 66 goals in her previous match when the Futures nailed the Capital Darters 85-36 at the Waverley Netball Centre.
While Austin’s imposing presence in attack was creating all sorts of problems, at the other end, Futures’ powerful defence proved impenetrable.
Remarkably, they kept the Tasmanians to single-digit scoring in all four quarters.
With Futures captain Molly Watson and Charlotte Walker patrolling the defensive parameter, the Wild always had their work cut out as not one player reached double figures on the scoresheet.
DAY 2 REPLAYS
Northern Territory Storm v Sunshine Coast Lightning
The Sunshine Coast Lightning has started its Super Netball Reserves finals campaign with a 31 goal win over the Northern Territory Storm.
The Lightning burst out of the blocks to take a 19-6 lead by the end of the first quarter and from there the Queensland side never looked like being caught, recording a 73-32 win.
Sunshine Coast played with a pace the Territory couldn’t match and despite showing promise and creating ample opportunities the Storm couldn’t compose themselves enough to hit the target when needed.
Kaylin van Greunen scored 34 goals and was well supported by Sally Jenkins (21) while Natalie Sligar was a rock in defence.
Capital Darters v Adelaide Thunderbirds
The Adelaide Thunderbirds Futures have produced the biggest score of the Super Netball Reserves finals to smash the Capital Darters by 49 goals.
The Thunderbirds kept the Darters to single figures in the first three quarters while scoring at will on Saturday before going on to win 85-36 at the Waverley Netball Centre.
The first quarter ended 23-7 in a comprehensive display from a Thunderbirds team that forced the Darters to change nearly every position on the court ahead of the second term.
Adelaide’s centres squeezed the Capitals and forced their rivals to attempt low percentage passes, turning the ball over frequently before scoring big.
Lucy Austin scored an incredible 66 goals, her tall and imposing presence enabling Adelaide to shift the ball quickly inside the attacking semi-circle in offence in a dominant display from the goal shooter.
Tasmania Wild v Giants Netball
A spirited Tasmania Wild outfit well and truly lost no fans in its clash against Giants Netball on Saturday.
The underdogs from the Apple Isle almost pulled off one of the upsets of the Super Netball Reserves Finals Series but fell short 53-49 in a seesawing battle.
While it was Giants shooter Monika ‘Otai that top scored with 34 goals, the true highlight was another star marking performance from Tasmania’s goal attack in Sophie Brewer.
The talented young gun finished with 29 goals and paired well with Grace Close (17), with the duo keeping Tasmania in the contest with their excellent work inside the circle.
After trailing by two goals at the first break, Tasmania cut that margin to one with a strong second-quarter but once again faced a two-goal deficit at the final break following a back and forth third-quarter that was full of momentum swings.
A stronger defensive showing from the Giants in the final quarter, limiting Tasmania to just 10 goals, was enough for the more experienced and highly favoured side to walk away with a four-goal win that was well and truly earned.
Firebirds Futures v Swifts Academy (3rd Play-Off)
In what ended as an absolute Super Netball Reserves finals thriller, it was the Swifts Academy that pipped Queensland Firebirds Futures by just two goals in a memorable win.
The third-place playoff contest to kick-off day two action was full of twists and turns and is no doubt set to be remembered as an all-time classic contest.
The Firebirds broke out to an early 18-14 lead before the Swifts responded strongly in the second-term.
Some early domination at both ends of the court allowed them to shift the momentum back in their favour before ending the term ahead by three goals.
The third-term well and truly took things up a notch, with both sides swinging for the fences but ultimately they ended with 14 goals apiece and the Swifts still ahead by three goals.
Back-to-back goals to open the last term extended the lead to five before both teams traded goals up until the final five minutes of the game.
From here, three straight from the Firebirds cut it back to three before the Swifts own trio of majors once again put the deficit back to six.
But there was still another twist in this classic.
A huge 60 seconds from Firebirds shooter Kirra Tappenden, where she shot four straight goals, gave Queensland hope with the score at 59-58 with two minutes left on the clock.
But some poor defence then opened the door for the Swifts to once again respond, dropping three straight, before Tappenden popped back up with the final two goals of the game.
DAY 1 REPLAYS
The Melbourne Vixens have set an ominous tone on the opening day of the Super Netball Reserves finals weekend.
The Vixens Academy were machine-like in their win over Tasmania Wild, coming within a whisker of notching a 50-goal second half to close out the action.
Tasmania Wild v Vixens Academy
The injection of Melbourne University Lightning attacking ace Caitlin Hill in the second half proved a masterstroke as she topped the teams goal tally with 33 from 38 attempts.
Claudia Mawson was also strong in the shooting circle with her pace off the ball causing plenty of headaches for the Tassie defenders.
It was a tough finish for the Wild, who had kept their rivals within striking distance, only down 11 goals at the halftime break.
Swifts shooter Lauren Woods has warmed up perfectly ahead of the side’s Super Netball Reserves third-place play-off on Saturday.
Capital Darters v Swifts Academy
Woods, who finished with 202 goals for the season, continued her red-hot form in the shooting circle as the Sydneysiders powered past the Capital Darters on Friday.
Woods took full advantage of the super shot rule to finish with 49 goals as the Swifts knocked off a valiant Darters side 87-72.
The Darters also made use of the Super Shot, with long-range sniper Olivia Clark hitting the court as soon as the air horn sounded in the second and fourth quarters.
A seven-unanswered goal blitz to start the game, really set the tone for the Giants in their win over the Territory Storm.

While the Storm showed plenty of fight in the first half, the Giants exploded in the third term to extend their lead beyond double digits.
Imogen McCulloch led the way on scoring for the Giants with 36 goals while Jamie Podmore-Taylor was inspirational through the midcourt.

*****************
A title-hungry West Coast Fever will play off against the Melbourne Mavericks in a talent-ladened Super Netball Reserves grand final on Sunday.
The decider will be exclusively live streamed on KommunityTV and Code Sports as part of our coverage of the Super Netball Reserves finals series.
The finals series live stream coverage tips off on Friday with games between Super Netball reserves clubs and member organisation states.
Capital Darters have already proved they have the talent to take it to their Super Netball reserves rivals after winning the play-in tournament earlier this week.
The Fever will be confident of taking out the Super Netball reserves title after finishing the regular season undefeated.
“We’re really happy with how our West Coast Fever Reserves have competed on the national stage with a combination of our WA up-and-coming pathway athletes as well as some opportunities for the Fever athletes to drop back and contribute as well,” coach Guy Keane said.
“Coming off last year’s pilot program where we also finished on top of the ladder, it has been a really successful two years with our program here.”
But any thought of the Fever waltzing to the title should be dispelled quickly.
The Mavericks, competing in their first season in the Super Netball Reserves, have plenty of momentum coming into the final following two big wins in the final round last weekend.
Both teams have the right mix of raw young talent and experienced heads to steer them in the right direction.
Mavericks will look to their leadership duo of Sacha McDonald and Zoe Davies, who have both spent plenty of time in Super Netball systems, to spearhead their title campaign.
On the opposite side of the court two-time WA Netball League best and fairest winner Caitlyn Brown will lead an exciting crop of young talents including teen midcourt sensation Clara Wigley and goal machine Jasmah Haywood.
The Swifts won the final match of the regular season against the Vixens Academy to jump to fourth spot on the ladder.
It has opened the door for the Sydneysiders to clash with the third-placed Queensland Firebirds Futures in Saturday’s Super Netball reserves third-place playoff.
