This has developed into a very chaotic match. Vixens hold sway, but they were guilty of some attacking turnovers in that Q. Incredibly, Sophie Garbin currently has the most goal assists on court. That's the sort of crazy match this is!
They need a bigger donut van at the Firebirds. Always takes 20-30mins to get the donuts. The one they have at Titans is twice the size #netball #FIRvVIX

Well, as the score would suggest, a very even first quarter. Both teams sitting on 12 penalties and 4 turnovers, both teams shooting with good accuracy, and both goal attacks (Emily Moore and Kiera Austin) having strong games

It's off to Nissan Arena, Brisbane (Turrbal & Yuggera), for the clash between 6th and 7th. Naturally, both teams badly in need of a win, but Vixens have a 12-4 head-to-head advantage in SSN.
