An impressive second-half display saw Collingwood Magpies come from behind to defeat local rivals Melbourne Vixens 52-48 on Saturday.
Aided by Geva Mentor’s seven gains and four rebounds, the Magpies ended of a run of three straight losses and claimed another derby win.
A crucial intervention by Jo Harten helped GIANTS Netball to a 59-55 success against NSW Swifts as they climbed above their opponents into top spot.
Helen Housby and Nat Haythornthwaite combined to good effect for the Swifts, but the two ‘Super Shots’ by Harten in the third quarter tilted the game in GIANTS favour after the score was level at halftime.
A Super Shot to end the quarter! 🔥
