Season Overview
The 2013 ANZ Championship season has seen the sport soar to new heights, with records tumbling across the board. Record scorelines, record crowds, and record memberships, all reflect the growing popularity of the world’s premier domestic netball competition, ANZ Championship.
While the NSW Swifts did not feature in the Finals this year, the team won many admirers throughout the competition for their never-say-die attitude, contesting a number of close matches down to the wire.
In years to come, 2013 will be fondly remembered for a series of extraordinary feats. As a roster, there were ten player milestones celebrated, a debut for NSW netballing "Tallent", and players rewarded with selection in Australian representative squads. NSW Swifts’ athletes were named the game MVP on six occasions, and the Club retained the Sargeant-McKinnis Cup for a fourth straight season with a stirring nine-goal away victory over the Melbourne Vixens.
The NSW Swifts also enjoyed record Membership in 2013, and the Club’s Round 11 game against the Adelaide Thunderbirds at Allphones Arena saw a new NSW Swifts’ regular season home crowd record of 8,021.
2013 will also be remembered as the season the Club celebrated the career and contribution of Vanessa Ware, who after 107 games as a Swift decided to hang up the netball shoes at season’s end. Mo’onia Gerrard also announced she was taking a break from playing elite netball during the 2014 ANZ Championship to pursue her Olympic Rugby Sevens dream, but will remain part of the Club with a role in the restructured Swifts’ coaching panel next season.
