Stats from another outstanding Thunderbirds performance. Elmere van der Berg now has the two highest ever goal totals for Tbirds. Georgie Horjus's 37 assists is the most ever by a Thunderbird, and only ever beaten in SSN by Liz Watson and Nat Medhurst.
Seriously, how do you stop Georgie Horjus at the moment... 37 assists, 48 feeds, 25 centre pass receives, and just 1 turnover in 60 minutes. Incredible.

Going to be mighty hard to beat this Thunderbirds team. They look a class above and in all honesty could have won by more, but Tania Obst chose to give her bench a run. POTM was Sterling-Humphrey while Horjus and van der Berg also starred.

She's back! Shamera Sterling-Humphrey... 4 gains, 3 intercepts, 9 deflections.
Sorry, as I type, make that 5 gains, 3 intercepts, 10 deflections!

3/4 time: THU 50-41
Thunderbirds asserting some real authority on the game as they win the 3rd Q 18-14. At one stage, they led by 15, before some Sasha Glasgow 2 pointers narrowed the gap. For Fever, Sloan Burton came on for her SSN debut in that Q
Second defence with no answer to EVDB - it's actually quite frustrating to watch 😅 #THUvFEV #SSN2026 #Netball

1/2 time: THU 32-27
While Thunderbirds kept up their high standard from the first Q, Fever fell away somewhat and the home side takes a 5 goal lead to half time. Georgie Horjus is simply everywhere. 18 assists and 24 feeds in the half. van der Berg has 31/35.

1/4 time: FEV 16-15
A high quality quarter of netball with Fever just edging it. Just 3 general play turnovers in total. Elmere van der Berg continuing where she left off, scoring all 15 Tbirds goals. Sasha Glasgow also continuing her strong form for Fever.
#SSN2026 #THUvFEV
Unchanged starting teams for this battle of two Round 1 winners. Fever leads the head-2-head 12-6, but Thunderbirds have won the past 3. Who's going to come out on top today?
#SSN2025 #THUvFEV
Stats from a strong Fever win in Adelaide, their fourth win in a row since the return of Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard.
The post match Jamaican meet up was super cute!

Full time: FEV 67-61
It was Zoe Cransberg who came up with a vital intercept to snuff out the Thunderbirds' chances. There's no doubt Fever was nervous before that moment. Zoe's sister Jordan Cransberg is the POTM with 20 assists, 2 gains, & 3 pickups.
#SSN2025 #THUvFEV
Well, what about this? Dan Ryan has called a time out, because suddenly, a flurry of Horjus super shots has the gap back to just 3 with 1:40 left on the clock!
#SSN2025 #THUvFEV
3/4 time: FEV 53-43
This has been a nightmare 3rd Q for the champions, trailing by as much as 13 at one stage, before again a couple of super shots brought them back slightly. Fever dominated, picking up ball on a regular basis through Aryang & Dehaney.
#SSN2025 #THUvFEV
1/2 time: FEV 35-33
An encouraging finish to the half for T'birds. Georgie Horjus and Lauren Frew teamed up in the circle and a couple of super shots narrowed the gap. Fever has been on top for most of the game but gave up 6 turnovers in that Q.
#SSN2025 #THUvFEV
1/4 time: FEV 19-14
After starting out as an even tussle, Fever gradually got on top in the first quarter. Thunderbirds have only managed one gain, while Fever has four, three of them to Jordan Cransberg who's having a cracking game so far.
