NSW Swifts v Adelaide Thunderbirds

The Swifts remain undefeated in 2019 after beating the Thunderbirds 61 to 43 and claiming all Super Netball Premiership points.

It was clear from the outset that both teams were keen to continue their winning momentum from Round 1.

The game went goal-for-goal for much of the first quarter, with goalers Helen Housby, Sam Wallace, Sasha Glasgow and Maria Folau all showing off their accurate shooting skills early.

Starting the match in centre, Paige Hadley showed why she’s recently been given a call up to the Diamonds, applying strong defensive pressure and feeding well up the Swifts’ attack end.

It promoted, the Thunderbirds to shuffle their entire court structure during a timeout half-way through the second quarter, leaving only Chelsea Pitman in her original starting position but the change rattled some players.

Meanwhile, Swifts’ goal shooter Sam Wallace continued her impressive accuracy, shooting at 100 per cent for the entire match.

The Thunderbirds then came out firing in the third quarter, scoring six to the Swifts’ three goals in the first five minutes but couldn’t quite hold on to the momentum.

The difference between the two sides was in the defence. Not that the Thunderbirds were poor but players like Shamera Sterling just didn't have the same impact they did last week while Swifts duo Sarah Klau and Maddy Turne were dominant.

The Swifts didn't take their foot off the accelerator and were able to get all 10 athletes on the court.
