Commonwealth Bank Trophy

Wow, a big congratulations goes to the Sydney Swifts. They have achieved what no other team has achieved in the history of the competition, go through all the rounds undefeated. Hopefully this will not hamper them in the finals, I doubt it will as they have had some close games this year and have been able to fight through and get the win.

Also, congratulations to the Queensland Firebirds. This team has come from what seemed like a region that was going to be dropped from the competition last year, to a finals team. Vicki Wilson has dragged this team through the hard times and showed them what true hard work can achieve. Not a bad effort, especially when you think that she only made minor changes to the Firebirds squad. They have come in fourth on the ladder and will take part in the finals series for the first time.

So this is what the ladder looks like at the end of the Commonwealth Bank Trophy Series
