It’s our fourth home game of the 2025 Suncorp Super Netball season and your top-of-the-table NSW Swifts are set to welcome the reigning champion Adelaide Thunderbirds for a huge Round 5 clash.
It's also our Heritage Round which will see us don our original Yellow & Blue colours which the Swifts wore when the Club was known as the Sydney Swifts (1997-2007).
Each Swifts game is far more than just a netball game, it’s an Event.
With that in mind, welcome to our Round 8 Game Day Guide to help you make the most of your time with the Swifts.

ABOUT HERITAGE ROUND
A highlight of the Club calendar since being introduced in 2021 (when the Swifts turned 25), Heritage Week sees past players, coaches and staff celebrated across the Swifts channels and in-venue.
The players may have already worn their 2025 Heritage Dress in the Derby win against the Giants over a week ago, but it will take on extra meaning on Saturday with a host of Club Alumni set to be in attendance when the seven-time Premiers host the current reigning Premiers.
