The match-up between former West Coast Fever training partner Donell Wallam, who moved to the Firebirds this season, and West Coast Fever captain Courtney Bruce promises to be enthralling.
Wallam has demonstrated her talent after receiving an opportunity as the Firebirds Goal Shooter and currently sits second in the League for goals scored with 92, behind Fever’s Jhaniele Fowler with 122.
The game will also be an opportunity for Sasha Glasgow to notch up her 50th National League game and Rudi Ellis to return to the Nissan Arena court against her former team.

The opening quarter of this game will set the scene for what promises to be an entertaining contest and a re-match of the 2022 pre-season Team Girls Cup Grand Final in February, which the Vixens won by 2 points.
The fourth quarter will be just as important, with the endurance of both teams to be tested as they back up from weekend fixtures.
Former Fever player Olivia Lewis is poised to come up against her old team after shifting to the Vixens for the 2022 season.
