Last Time They Met: The two sides last met in round 13 with the match going down the dying minutes and a Jo Harten Super Shot securing the GIANTS the win and a place in the finals. The GIANTS started strong, but it was the Firebirds who led going into the last quarter. The GIANTS produced two intercepts and 21-goals in the final quarter to overcome the home side.
What it Means for the GIANTS: The GIANTS are looking to build momentum and extend their consistency, as they look to secure another win and push themselves up the ladder. The GIANTS currently sit sixth on the ladder with two wins and three losses.
Where’s the Opposition At: The Queensland Firebirds currently sit winless at the bottom of the ladder. They come off their narrowest loss of the season, going down by two-goals to the West Coast Fever who sit atop of the table. They have been in most of their matches so far this season, with consistency proving costly to secure their first bout of four points.
The Name: Maddie Hay - a cog in the GIANTS' formidable midcourt, Hay was in impressive form against the Magpies' Ash Brazill last week. She finished last week with 35 feeds, 16 assists, 3 deflections, 3 intercepts and 3 gains. She'll most likely match up against veteran Gabi Simpson, with the potential of the shift of Kim Ravaillion back to wing defence.
The Number: 100 - the GIANTS will this weekend celebrate their 100th club game. The GIANTS entered the competition in 2017 and across seven seasons and four finals campaigns, will this Sunday play in game number 100.
