The mid-week Suncorp Super Netball bonanza begins this afternoon with West Coast Fever taking on the Giants from 3pm AWST and is set to continue for several weeks with the league today confirming the fixturing for Rounds 4 to 6.
With all teams currently residing in Queensland, matches will continue to be played at Nissan Arena in Brisbane and the University of the Sunshine Coast Stadium across Saturday and Sunday afternoons and on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
Following today’s game, the Fever will have a four-day turnaround before their clash with the Magpies on Saturday at 11am AWST.
Fever will play their first home game against Vixens at Nissan Arena in Round 5 on Tuesday August 18, with the club urging Fever fans based in Queensland to show their support by attending.
“We want our fans in Queensland to wear green and support our players, like we do in WA.” Mr Taylor said.
“While we do have a couple of home games in Queensland confirmed, we are still confident to return to WA and play at RAC Arena.”
Suncorp Super Netball Operations Manager Bill Allen said the league will now turn attention to locking away the next chunk of the 2020 schedule.
“Having now played two rounds, our teams are settling into the hub-style format of the 2020 season so it’s great to have the first six rounds confirmed to provide teams with some certainty for the next few weeks,” he said.
“We are now working to confirm the scheduling for the remainder of the season and will continue to confirm the fixture in phases to ensure flexibility to cater for the constantly-evolving COVID-19 situation and changing border restrictions.”
The next phase of fixturing is set to be confirmed by the league next week.
All matches are broadcast live on Nine, Telstra TV and the Netball Live Official App.
