Queensland Firebirds can confirm that our birdies were flown to Melbourne from Brisbane last night.
The relocation is part of an effort by Suncorp Super Netball to move teams to the Victorian capital to continue the 2021 competition in the immediate future.
Queensland Firebirds will work with the league and fellow Super Netball franchises in the coming days to determine the best way forward for the competition as it navigates the disruption caused by COVID-19 outbreaks in Queensland, New South Wales and Western Australia.
A further statement will be provided later today including information for Queensland Firebirds members and ticket holders who were planning on attending our home match this weekend. At this time the well-being of our athletes and staff is our primary concern.
