Having swept all those before them, it all comes down to this for the West Coast Fever as they look to cap off their historic season with the Super Netball crown against the Vixens.

The Vixens will have home court advantage but the Fever are the favourites after their record-setting season and dominant semi-final performance.

All eyes will be on Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard, who will be crucial to either team’s fortunes. Can the Fever overcome the hostile crowd to claim the title on enemy territory?

Follow all the action live!

Vixens motivation

The Vixens have the home crowd and also plenty of drive with this to be their coach, Simone McKinnis’ last game in charge after announcing her retirement early this year.

They also fell just short in last year’s grand final and will be out to atone.

Make no mistake they are a massively dangerous opposition regardless of the Fever’s form.
