“The Northam community is incredibly passionate about Fever and, more broadly, the development of our game so it’s wonderful to be able to show our appreciation for their support.”

In addition to the official pre-season match, the trip to Northam will also incorporate a free clinic run by the players of both teams and en educational forum for local coaches conducted by Fever Head Coach, Stacey Marinkovich and GIANTS Netball Head Coach, Julie Fitzgerald.
