The Adelaide Thunderbirds have mixed style with substance to strengthen their grip on Super Netball's minor premiership and end the NSW Swifts' finals dreams.
And the Swifts' 66-60 season-ending loss was further soured when Diamonds invitee and goal attack Grace Whyte picked up an ankle injury at Ken Rosewall Arena on Saturday.
The young gun has been one of the Swifts' best players this season and was rewarded with a call-up to the Diamonds' Commonwealth Games camp last Sunday, but after landing awkwardly on her ankle in the opening quarter, her hopes of representing Australia are in doubt.
"I've checked in, but we don't really know that much" Swifts coach Briony Akle said.
"We'll check that out and get the scans done and see how she is."
