Fever Reserves 56 defeat QBE Academy Swifts 55
Fever started their weekend with an absolute nail biter, beating the Swifts by a single goal in the final minutes.
With just under a minute remaining in the game, Jasmah Haywood scored her 49th goal for the match to put the side ahead by three goals. That lead was enough to keep Fever in front by the final siren, despite two consecutive goals from Swifts’ Nicola Barge.
Clara Wigley played a full match in the centre bib against the rotation of Swifts Lili Gorman-Brown and Jessica Conlan.
