At the moment, the Sirens occupy 9th place in the table with nine other teams competing in the Vitality League.
Maxwell said: “In terms of how we’re actually playing on court, we’re really proud of the performances we’ve put on, especially the last few matches. We stuck to the game plan and we’re definitely showing some progress.”
The Sirens still have seven matches remaining in the league and they expect to put up better performances in the games to come. “We are determined to put more points on the scoreboard, at the same time we understand that winning can come in many forms and we will take those as well,” Parata added.
This time, the Sirens are playing without their star Cathrine Tuivaiti, who is expecting her first baby. The goal shooter recently played her last game and therefore the last practice session turned out to be emotional for the squad.
“Her absence is huge for us, but we are absolutely delighted for her and [her husband], Jimmy,” said Parata.
