Two clubs with Murray Netball League finals aspirations went head-to-head on Saturday.

Sunshine Coast Lightning goaler Reilley Batcheldor poured in 50 points for the Lightning in a career-best showing in her team’s commanding win over the Melbourne Vixens.

Their last clash was a battle to avoid the wooden spoon but the NSW derby has underlined the dominance of the NSW Swifts in season 2025.
