Super Netball 2025: Perth turns green as West Coast Fever thrash NSW Swifts in major semifinal
And the home side gave the 11,838 supporters that packed RAC Arena a show, thrashing the NSW Swifts by 32 goals in the major semifinal to extend their winning streak to a remarkable 13 games.
And it was a party inside the venue as the 'Green Army' watched the record-breaking afternoon unfold in front of their eyes.
Among the VIP invitees was Olympic polevault gold medallist Nina Kennedy, while Perth Lynx stars Steph Gorman, Alex Ciabattoni and Kiara White also turned out courtside.
Liberal leader and former Perth Mayor Basil Zempilas also turned out to be part of the Green Army as he continues his rising political career.
Education Minister Sabine Winton — who played netball at the Wanneroo Districts Netball Association — was also courtside, as was Netball Australia chief executive Stacey West who watched the heavyweight clash.
Fever coach Dan Ryan praised the immense support they had all season which had helped drive them to a premiership.
'I always have a moment just before the first centre pass where everyone has got their mobile phones out and I make sure I do a 360 and take in the experience because it's so easy to take this for granted,' he said.
'It's the best netball arena in the world; it's in front of the most passionate fans in terms of numbers and merchandise in this competition. It's something to be very connected to because it's not normal, it's elite. We really try to embrace that.
'You do take it in because they're very much a part of the journey and you've got to make sure that you embrace that. What we get to do here is something pretty special.'

Nothing to lose for Swifts after finals 'nightmare'
Having survived a living nightmare, star attacker Helen Housby says the NSW Swifts' Super Netball finals fate can't get any worse than what has already happened. The Swifts will be out for redemption - and a spot in the 2025 decider - when the 13-times finalists host the Melbourne Vixens in a do-or-die prelim at Qudos Bank Arena on Sunday. Housby and her teammates were left reeling after a disastrous 77-45 semi-final mauling to grand final-bound West Coast in the RAC Arena "dungeon". After a perfect 8-0 start to the season, NSW have lost five of their past seven games. Meanwhile, the Vixens are riding high after sensationally ending Adelaide's bid for a third-straight title with a 58-56 win last week. The road to grand final glory works favourably for the Vixens, who will enjoy home-court advantage - despite finishing fourth - if they reach the decider. Despite the Fever finishing on top of the table, Rod Laver Arena will host the grand final on August 2 under Super Netball's controversial policy of selling hosting rights for the decider. NSW can't look that far just yet, with Housby saying her side was taking a nothing-to-lose approach against Melbourne. "It kind of feels like we've lived our nightmare but, in saying that, the sun came up the next day," Housby said. "I don't want to say it was a relief but to get that game out of the way but still have a game to play, it almost feels like it can't go any worse than what it was (against West Coast). "We've got nothing to lose and everything to gain going into this game." Housby has seen this movie before too, saying NSW have never had it easy on the way to a grand final. The Swifts were thumped 58-48 by Sunshine Coast in the 2019 major semi-final before rebounding to win the title. Housby also points to their 2023 run, where the Swifts eliminated the Fever by one point in the dying seconds. They later lost the grand final by one point to Adelaide. "It does feel like a bit of deja vu," Housby said. "It always seems like there's a bit of adversity in our wins and in our premierships, so I quite like that. "I love to be on the edge of performance. This group is itching for it. Just itching for another chance to prove ourselves and to show the netball world that that's not what we stand for." Swifts co-captain and mid-courter Paige Hadley is expected to return from a leg injury in a massive boost for coach Briony Akle's team.

Why a dodgy Thai buffet could save the Australian swimming team's reputation
Swimming World has reported that US star and Olympic champion Torri Huske was one athlete struck down by illness. Huske is Mollie O'Callaghan's main rival in the 100m freestyle event and an important figure for the US in their 4x100m freestyle relay team on night one. That opening night in Japan — where Australia picked up four gold medals and two world records across five events — was arguably the most dominant two-hour stretch in Australian swimming history. Sam Short and Ariarne Titmus won their 400m freestyle finals, while the men's and women's 4x100m freestyle relay teams defeated the US in memorable fashion. Since the world championships began in 1973, Australia had never claimed four gold medals on the same day. However, fans tuning into Sunday's action in Singapore should temper expectations. A repeat of Fukuoka seems unlikely. Australia's 'crazy' start in Fukuoka, in the words of since-retired Olympic great Emma McKeon, set the Dolphins on the path to a record haul of 13 gold medals, six more than their American rivals. Even half that in Singapore would be considered a strong return. The reason? Australia and the US have taken different approaches since the Paris Olympics. Most of the USA's top swimmers had a shorter break after Paris. They swim more often at big meets, and many are entrenched in the college system. For them, posting fast times all year round is a non-negotiable. The USA narrowly beat Australia on the swimming medal tally at Paris 2024, eight golds to seven. Many of Australia's elite swimmers have taken a slower path, mindful of the long road to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. On the whole, swimmers' times at last month's Australian trials in Adelaide were not spectacular. Titmus is the biggest name missing in Singapore — instead calling races for Channel Nine, the publisher of this masthead — though part of her will surely wish she was racing Ledecky and Canadian superstar Summer McIntosh. McKeown, who swept the backstroke events in Fukuoka, is again Australia's leading gold medal hope in the 50m, 100m and 200m events. O'Callaghan is also hunting glory in the 100m and 200m freestyle after taking out both events two years ago. Short and Elijah Winnington, both world champions, are the best individual medal chances on night one in the men's 400m freestyle. Loading Cam McEvoy returns in the 50m freestyle after Olympic gold in Paris. Kyle Chalmers is chasing world championship gold in the 100m freestyle but will need to beat world record-holder Pan Zhanle, who took gold in Paris. There will be no shortage of global talent in Singapore. McIntosh is attempting to become the first swimmer since Michael Phelps to win five individual golds at a single world championships. And French star Leon Marchand — who trained with Australian coach Dean Boxall earlier this year and spent much of his downtime surfing — is eyeing world records in the 200m and 400m individual medley events after dropping the 200m butterfly and breaststroke events from his program. Marchand won four individual gold medals in front of his home French crowd last year - including two in one night. 'I think he needed a mental break,' said Marchand's coach Bob Bowman, who also looked after Phelps. 'I think he needed to go away to Australia to get out of France for a while.'
