Full time: FIR 78-55
A 50 goal turnaround from one week to the next for the Firebirds. Giants won the last quarter, but the damage had well and truly been done by then. Mary Cholhok finished with 62/80 while POTM was Ruby Bakewell-Doran with 8 gains!
#SSN2026 #GIAvFIR
3/4 time: FIR 62-36
Another dominant quarter from the Firebirds. The Giants can't seem to do a thing right unfortunately whereas it's clicking for the Firebirds today. Mary Cholhok has 52 goals to 3/4 time.
#SSN2026 #GIAvFIR
Oh no, to make matters worse for Giants, Jane Watson has limped from the court and gone straight to the rooms.
FIR 50-26
#GIAvFIR this is a tough watch... never seen Sophie Dwyer look so dejected!
#SSN2026 #GIAvFIR
1/2 time: FIR 43-24
The second quarter very similar to the first as Firebirds piled on the goals. They've repeatedly made the most of the gains and turnovers they've got so far in this match from Giants. Mary Cholhok has 38 goals to half time! ๐ฎ

1/4 time: FIR 22-12
Wow! What a first quarter from the Firebirds and what a turnaround from Mary Cholhok. Benched last week, she put on 20/21 in that first Q, capitalising on mistakes from a Giants team that struggled.
#SSN2026 #GIAvFIR
Teams are in for the first game of round 4. Both teams are searching for their first win. Unfortunately, Kelly Jackson is a withdrawal for the Firebirds.
#SSN2025 #GIAvFIR
Firebirds held on to defeat Giants and that gives them their first ever win in a round one match in Super Netball.
#SSN2025 #GIAvFIR
Full time: FIR 62-57
At times in the last Q giants challenged but a relieved Firebirds team holds on to win. Some definite positives for them to take out of the game, but the shooting % is a worry. Penalties and turnovers hurt the Giants.
POTM: Macy Gardner
#SSN2025 #GIAvFIR
3/4 time: FIR 49-44
Thankfully, Dwyer is okay. She came back on to finish the third quarter. Macy Gardner is having a standout game at centre for Firebirds as they stretch their lead. It's a topsy turvy game. The team going to right of screen has won each Q.
#SSN2025 #GIAvFIR
Unfortunately, Sophie Dwyer has taken an accidental knock to the back of the head and has had to leave the court to be assessed. Jo Harten is on for her.
#SSN2025 #GIAvFIR
1/2 time: FIR 32-31
Playing in her first game, Hope White made an immediate impact when she came on, allowing Giants to take the lead, before Firebirds settled late. Firebirds shooting % is a worry, just 70% compared to Giants 85%.
#GIAvFIR
Halftime Firebirds lead 32-31.
#GIAvFIR
Firebirds are starting to adjust but Giants have been a completely different team since baby netballer, Hope White, in her debut game, came on court.
#GIAvFIR
Weird they're showing Giants huddle during a Firebirds timeout.
#GIAvFIR
Goood lawwwd, Giants in front now!
#GIAvFIR
Hope White great white hope for the Giants?
#GIAvFIR
Great start to the second quarter for the Giants! And they needed it!!
#SSN2025 #GIAvFIR
1/4 time: FIR 19-12
A tremendous start to the Firebirds. Emily Moore playing well at GA and sinks a super shot right on 1/4 time. Giants looking very disorganised.
#GIAvFIR
Coach Kiri's game day look is so glam. I love it!
#GIAvFIR
Round 1, quarter 1 and Giants again having to rely on the supershot to get themselves back in the game. Disappointing...
#GIAvFIR
Firebirds starting well despite having a few things they could tighten up. Giants need to lift their game.
