Vixens to keep faith

NETBALL MELBOURNE Vixens coach Simone McKinnis won’t make wholesale changes in the wake of the 56-52 loss to the Giants yesterday that saw her side relinquish top spot on the Super Netball ladder with just two rounds remaining.

The Vixens have fielded a remarkably consistent starting seven this season but they were shut out by a polished Giants side, who now lead the competition from the Vixens and Sunshine Coast Lightning.

The Firebirds are fifth after beating Adelaide 59-48 on Saturday night.
