Souwest Jets' open side record second win of season with one-goal victory over Rangers
Souwest Jets' open side recorded their second win of the West Australian Netball League season last Wednesday, holding off a fast-finishing Rangers to win by one goal at Gold Netball Centre.
Rangers scored the first three goals of the second term to open up an early seven-goal lead but the Jets responded with a dominant run up to the final break where they outscored their opponents 26-15 to reverse their deficit into a four-goal three-quarter-time lead.
Having been moved from goal attack to goal shooter, Rangers' Aisha Morcombe produced a 13-goal final quarter which included one which knotted the scores with just over a minute to go.
But training partner Lily Gilsenan stepped up to be the hero for the Jets, drilling a goal inside the final 30 seconds to reclaim the most slender of leads they were able to maintain until time expired.
Gilsenan led the Jets with 28 goals on the night, forming a potent combination with goal attack Meretini Fuimaono (19 goals).
With one game left in their season, the result has ensured Jets will finish in seventh position, ahead of last-placed Rangers, who are without a win for the season.
They were set to close out their season against fourth-placed West Coast Warriors at the Netball Centre on Wednesday night.
The season is now over for the club's under-21 side, who sit sixth with a 4-9 win-loss record but could drop to seventh pending other results.
The Jets' junior outfit went down to Rangers by 16 goals before closing out their campaign with a 10-goal loss to West Coast Warriors at Eaton Recreation Centre on Sunday.
Prolific shooter Lily Knight is set to finish the campaign sitting second on the competition's goal-scoring charts, being 127 clear of the third-placed player ahead of the final round of matches for the season.

Snoop Dogg wants soccer stadium burger stand
Snoop Dogg wants to open a burger stand at Celtic Park. The Drop It Like It's Hot hitmaker has been a fan of Scottish side Celtic for over two decades and not only does he want to bring his own food outlet to their stadium, he'd be hands-on and personally serve the meals to fans. He told Scotland's Sunday Mail newspaper: 'There has always been the opinion that food at sports stadiums is never good but that ain't got to be the case. 'People know that Snoop is a cook and I would love to bring a pop up burger to a sports stadium to show fans that food at stadiums can be good. 'It's got to be Celtic Park man, I mean where else am I going to bring it. "The secret to a good burger is the love in the preparation. The ground beef has got to be mixed with some secret spices, then add a good quality cheese and some maple cured bacon. 'The Celtic fans are gonna love it, and to make sure they are just right, Snoop is going to be serving them himself.' The 53-year-old star has no interest in offering his food to Celtic's great rivals rangers. He said: "Am I going to bring my burgers to Rangers as well? Nah, I think we will give that a miss!' However, Snoop has previously admitted he'd love to open a restauranr in Glasgow with chef Gordon Ramsay, who is a Rangers fan. He said: 'I have told him I want to open a restaurant with him and maybe it might even be in Glasgow. 'For real – we are always swapping cooking tips and I do mean swapping. 'It's not just one way traffic, I send him tips as well – he respects Snoop as chef. 'My boy Gordon has got a worse mouth than me but that's only because of his passion." Snoop revealed back in 2012 that he wanted to buy shares in Celtic after watching the Parkhead side beat Barcelona in the Champions League in November that year. At the time he said: "I got a lot of interest in soccer. It's not a new thing for hip hop stars to invest in sports teams but it is a new thing for hip hop stars to invest in soccer teams...I see how passionate Celtic fans are about their team and I could see myself making an investment if any of the board wanted to sell...I want to bring a bit of Snoop to things."

My whole career has been based on proving people wrong – Rangers' Russell Martin
New Rangers head coach Russell Martin has told hostile fans and other sceptics that he is looking to prove them wrong as he spoke during a press conference at Ibrox Stadium, Glasgow. News of the 39-year-old former MK Dons, Swansea and Southampton manager's three-year deal at Ibrox has not gone down well with some supporters. Some remember the former Scotland defender's unsuccessful loan period at the club in 2018 and his ill-fated spell in the English Premier League with Saints, where he was sacked with one win in the first 16 games, as well as perceived notions around his possession-based style of play, while others believed there was a more exciting aspect to Davide Ancelotti, who was also in the running.
