NET:Thunderbirds torch Giants in netball record-breaker

The red-hot Adelaide Thunderbirds have cruised to their largest-ever Super Netball win and restricted the Giants to their lowest all-time score in a 70-37 rout at Sydney's Ken Rosewall Arena.

Saturday's top-versus-bottom clash went largely to script as Elmere van der Berg racked up 56 goals against the hapless, winless Giants.

The Thunderbirds sailed past their previous biggest margin of victory - which was 27 points, set in round 3 this year against the Queensland Firebirds - to issue another striking statement of championship intent.

The Giants' previous lowest tally was 41.

"Really proud of the girls," van der Berg said.

"We put on a massive game tonight.

"I'm very pleased with the movement we got in the circle."

The Giants jumped to a surprise 5-2 lead - then had the next possession - but it was all downhill from there as order was rapidly, and emphatically, restored.
