Blistering final term ends in GIANTS and Swifts draw
IT was a nail-biting finish to the New South Wales derby as neither side could be separated rounding out the game at 77 goals apiece. A scintillating final term at the hands of GIANTS captain Jo Harten gifted her side a draw after converting six super shots, despite being down by as much as 10 […]
Firebirds come from behind to win final match of season

GIANTS notch up their fourth victory to stay in touch with finals
WITHOUT Amy Parmenter the GIANTS had a new look defence, but that did stop them from getting back on the winners list overrunning Collingwood by four goals (62-58). It was a slow start to the game for the GIANTS as the Magpies came out with a real fire in the belly but their ability to […]
Fever make it two from two against Lightning
THE top four battle well and truly lived up to the hype in the opening stanza as the Sunshine Coast Lightning had the early ascendancy before West Coast put the pedal to the metal running out 20-goal victors (72-52).

Lightning strikes back at GIANTS in tight contest
IT was a rematch of the 200th Suncorp Super Match to open Sunday’s proceedings, with both sides hungry to go one better than their controversial last outing.
