NET:Tears flow as Giants finally break netball losing run

Giants Sophie Dwyer Swifts the NSW Swifts Jane Watson

The Giants have sent off former Silver Ferns star Jane Watson in style, beating the NSW Swifts 66-65 to post their first win of the Super Netball season and spark wild celebrations.

Entering Sunday's match at Ken Rosewall Arena with a 0-13 record, there was heavy pressure on the Giants to ensure retiring Kiwi defender Watson ended her decorated career with a win in the last game of the regular season.

In a thrilling finish, Sophie Dwyer hit her fifth Super Shot of the match with 82 seconds remaining to put the Giants up by a goal.

Swifts goal attack Nicola Barge missed a Super Shot with 33 seconds remaining, with the Giants keeping possession from there to end their losing streak.
