Superstar Sunshine Girls shooter Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard is set to make her long-awaited return to the court this Saturday night at 11:00 PM Jamaica time, as the West Coast Fever prepare for their third-round clash in the Suncorp Super Netball League against the Melbourne Vixens. The match, which will take place at the John Cain Arena, marks a pivotal moment in the season for the Perth-based team, who are currently seeking their first win of the year.
Fowler-Nembhard, an eight-time league MVP and reigning scoring champion, has been cleared to return to full duties after completing an intensive return-to-play program. This follows her earlier than expected return to the team following her unfortunate miscarriage. Her return to action is expected to provide a significant boost for the Fever, who have struggled so far in the league and find themselves at the bottom of the standings without a point.
The inclusion of Fowler-Nembhard is a welcome one for the Fever, who have had a difficult start to the season and are in urgent need of a win to boost their post-season ambitions. The presence of Jamaican teammates Shanice Beckford and Kadie-Ann Dehaney will also add strength to the Fever’s line-up, as the trio look to turn the team’s fortunes around.
Elsewhere in the League
Meanwhile, the Queensland Firebirds will be in action away to the Sunshine Coast Lightning at the UniSC Arena in Queensland. Both teams will be looking to build on their respective seasons, with the unbeaten Firebirds hoping to capitalize on their recent form.
