The top two of Suncorp Super Netball collide at Ken Rosewall Arena on Saturday night as the NSW Swifts host the West Coast Fever in the biggest game of the year so far.
While the Swifts sit two wins clear at the top of the competition latter, the West Australians loom as their most challenging test to date with multiple-league MVP Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard back in the saddle to anchor the Fever attack.
The top-of-the-table clash pits the League’s greatest shooter of recent times – Fowler-Nembhard – against the biggest signing of the off-season, Swift Silver Ferns attacker Grace Nweke.
And, it’s going to be a tale of two attacks with both Swifts and Fever on fire in the goal circle.
THE STATS
The Swifts' attacking pair of Nweke and Helen Housby are currently leading the league for their respective positions:
- Nweke has the most goals so far this year with a whopping 413 to her name already
- Housby, meanwhile, leads the way for goals assists with 166
- Despite missing the start of the year, Fowler-Nembhard has amassed 358 scores, and passed the 9,000 National League goal mark along the way.
- Fellow Fever attacker Alice Teague-Neeld is just behind Housby on the goal assist stat sheet with 163 to her name.
