NSW Swifts international representatives, Paige Hadley, Sarah Klau and Helen Housby will battle it out tonight in a monster decider down in Bendigo when the Diamonds take on England.
England Roses tied the 3-match series on Sunday with a 61 - 59 win at Qudos Bank Arena to set up an exciting finale tonight.
And the NSW Swifts players will he heavily involved in the action in the 7pm start that is live and on demand on Kayo Sports & Foxtel.
Diamonds Head Coach Stacey Marinkovich said: “International netball is tough, and we expected them to come out with a great deal of intensity.
“We got stuck on the body a bit in the last game, which stopped our connection and flow, so we’ll take some lessons and learnings.”
After receiving a warm welcome on court from a hyped Sydney crowd on Sunday, Roses Goal Attack, Helen Housby, was a forced to be reckoned with shooting at 88%, 23 centre pass receives as well as 10 goal assists.
Marking this as the Roses first win against the Diamonds on Australian soil since the Commonwealth Games gold medal match in 2018, Head Coach Jess Thirlby has commended her team on the significant win.
“We had some debutants in there, we’ve got people who have never played Aussie before, so to have found a way to win this early in this team’s evolution is really satisfying and it is significant.”
“It’s important that we acknowledge that and build confidence, but we’re also part of a three-game series and we’re not done yet.”
