Chance to join Firebirds celebrations and awards night

NETBALL: The Queensland Firebirds will celebrate their historic back-to-back ANZ Championship wins with fans at three unique events this week.

The team will appear at Westfield Garden City outside The Coffee Club tomorrow between 6pm and 7.30pm, attend a gala dinner on Friday night and meet fans at a ticker tape parade through Brisbane CBD on Saturday from 12pm.

Allora goalkeeper and Firebirds captain Laura Geitz will lead the Firebirds during three days of celebrations along with vice-captain and star defender Clare McMeniman who has held various leadership roles during her time at the Firebirds.

McMeniman first played representative netball while a student at Warwick West State School.

The Queensland Firebirds Gala Dinner and Awards Night is a private ticketed event. Please visit www.firebirds.net.au/gala-dinner to secure seats.

The team will hit the 'purple carpet' at 6.30pm Friday at Moda Events, Portside Wharf at the black-tie Purple Reign Gala Dinner and Awards Night.

The Firebirds beat the Swifts 69-67 on Sunday to become the most successful team of the ANZ Championship era.
