Shimona Jok, Mavericks stars, headline Super Netball Round 11 team of the week
The Melbourne Mavericks' efforts to ensure they don't finish with the wooden spoon this season have pushed three players into Code Sports' team of the week. The Mavs' win might not have been the best collective effort of the week but some of their players' individual efforts against the Firebirds were outstanding, with one key player from each third of the court making the team of the week. Shimona Jok's 60 goals showed what a dominant force she has become as a holding shooter, not just in Super Netball but amongst the world's best, with her efforts surpassing fellow Jamaican Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard (Fever) and Kiwi Grace Nweke (Swifts) in round 11. Wing defence Amy Parmenter had a captain's knock in Brisbane, picking herself up from a massive clash with Firebirds Macy Gardner and Abi Latu-Meafou to lead her team to a crucial win, while Kim Brown had a cracker against her old side, finishing with eight gains at Nissan Arena. Meanwhile, co-captain Paige Hadley's efforts to lead the Swifts back from a terrible start against the Giants in the NSW derby pushed her into the week's best, alongside defender Teigan O'Shannassy, who had six gains in her side's comeback win. The victory kept the Swifts on top of the ladder, level on points with the Fever, whose midcourter Alice Teague-Neeld was once again outstanding in their clash with the Adelaide Thunderbirds. The Vixens' Kiera Austin rounds out the team after a player of the match effort in Melbourne's win over the Lightning on the Sunshine Coast.

Fever on fire, cut down Giants for fifth-straight win
West Coast Fever have rocketed to second place on the Super Netball table after defeating the Giants 75-66 at Ken Rosewall Arena. The Fever got off to a flyer on Saturday night, before being challenged by the Sydney-siders mid-match, then sprinted to the finish line. After starting the season by copping back-to-back hammerings, West Coast are now riding a five-game winning streak and trail only the undefeated NSW Swifts on the ladder. Superstar shooter Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard nailed 63 goals from 66 attempts, linking beautifully with goal attack Alice Teague-Neeld, who racked up 23 assists and 38 feeds.

"The sport keeps growing every year, so I have to keep growing with it if I want to keep playing. "I threw away some silly balls today, but did OK. Fowler-Nembhard hit 18 shots from as many attempts in the opening frame as the Fever went at 100 per cent to use a 7-1 headstart as the foundation for a 22-14 quarter-time lead. The Giants had six turnovers for the term, only co-captain Jamie-Lee Price remotely impressing. The margin blew out to 29-19 in the second quarter before the last-placed Giants flipped the script and closed the gap to 40-36 at halftime.

Sniffing a boilover, the Giants' defensive pressure was up and their offence flowing nicely as they levelled the scores at 52-all in third. Giants goal defence Jodi-Ann Ward produced a superb intercept but hurt her left knee while landing and hobbled off the court, joining shooter Jo Harten, who came off early, and defender Maddie Hay, who exited with illness midway through the second. The Fever regained the momentum with a 6-1 run, before Sophie Dwyer bobbled in a super shot on the three-quarter time bell for the Giants to reduce the gap to 60-55. Sunday Aryang had five deflections in the fourth term as West Coast dominated defensively to stretch their advantage to 13 before a pair of two-pointers to Letherbarrow at the death minimised some of the damage.
