Firebirds fail

FIREBIRDS captain Gabi Simpson says the two losses from the weekend’s “Bendigo Blockbuster” will mean next to nothing come Round 1 of the Super Netball season.

The Firebirds suffered a 76-61 loss to West Coast Fever yesterday after the 70-64 defeat at the hands of Melbourne Vixens on Saturday.

The Firebirds were missing defender Kim Jenner and midcourter Jemma Mi Mi and mixed up their line-ups throughout the two games.
