Quarter 1. 8:43 left. Swifts 6-3

Firebirds with a timeout after a strong start by Swifts. The visitors looking good so far.

It's an interceptathon from Layton and Geitz. 3 great intercepts from Layton in a matter of minutes and the lead goes to 4 as Green calls an injury timeout.

Swifts 21-17

Half time: Firebirds 25 v Swifts 30

Aiken 19/20 (95%)
Tippett 6/12 (50%)

Thwaites 18/20 (90%)
Pettitt 12/13 (92%)

What a brilliant game. Swifts extend their lead by 1 in that quarter. Tippett’s shooting stats a worry for Firebirds.

Quarter 3. 12:40 left. Swifts 33-28.

Susan Pettitt clearly not a big fan of that decision. Will it rattle her? She and the Swifts have been so solid so far.

Firebirds drew level and had the chance to hit the front, but a fumble from Aiken under pressure from Layton and Swifts back in front.

3/4 time: Firebirds 41 v Swifts 45

Aiken 32/34 (94%)
Tippett 9/15 (60%)

Thwaites 23/26 (88%)
Pettitt 22/23 (96%)

A goal from Pettitt right on 3/4 time. Firebirds only reduced the margin by 1 in that quarter. Swifts still looking good.

Quarter 4. 7:50 left. Swifts 51-49

No, unfortunately that’s not allowed Gretel. Another crucial turnover and Firebirds just can’t seem to bridge the gap.

Firebirds with an opening after 2 turnovers from the Swifts. This is incredible.

Hadley replaced by McCulloch who comes back on at WD while Clarke moves to C. The crowd is going berserk, as Firebirds now look for the equalising goal and Aiken does just that with 40 seconds left on the clock. 56-56

Firebirds weren't in front until 16 seconds from full time. Swifts were brilliant and didn't really deserve to lose, but sadly they didn't score a goal in the final 3 minutes while Firebirds scored 5 to snatch it from them.

Just an incredible game. For most of it, Swifts appeared to have the edge. Every time Firebirds made a charge, Swifts would answer, but in those last few minutes, 2 crucial turnovers gave Firebirds the chance to pounce. And they took it.
