Sinkley from D. Yes! [CHEERING AND APPLAUSE] 71-78, 38 seconds on the clock. The memory system sent a pass. Now with Cardwell. Sinkley, they have to retreat. They've been patient 26 on the clock. Sinkley gets in a position. Cardwell with some bodywork. Contact now against double contact here against. The lightning and Sinkley, a two-point opportunity. Got it! 72-71 with seven seconds on the clock. Fett will with an opportunity to win it here for the lightning with four seconds on the clock. She shoots! No! The maps win it by one. 72-71, Sinkley came on with the court and won't trace a level with the big move. Oh my goodness! And the maps escape with the victory again by one point against the lightning. That's the voice of David Flashlithgo and Fiona Gopin doing a great job calling the Mav's big win for us on SCN on Saturday night. Now a sports update thanks to United Forklift and access solutions. Nothing beats a cat forklift. Only from United Forklifts, the Mavore Mavericks pulled off an unlikely victory in their first ever game in Hobart on Saturday after trailing for most of the match. The Mavericks rallied in the last during the Super 5 to defeat the Sunshine Coast lightning by one goal and keep their finals hope to live. Gabby Sinkley was the hero after hitting two super shots in the final minute despite only touching the court for the first time late in that term. Shimona Goc, who shot a near-perfect 42 out of 43, had this to say on the SCN netball broadcast post game. Did you like sitting down the last couple of minutes? It was amazing, your coach just made the moves and it worked. Yeah, 100% did, but I think being on the side, I was just so anxious, but there was not one doubt at all in my nerves or anger or anything, but I just felt like we could have pulled that through. And I think we played today like part of mostly is like we were really hungry for this one. I think that's what actually showed in every single quarter we didn't take off that pedal. And I think that's what got us through to the last whistle. There was no doubt in our solo whatsoever. We were just going to let this one go. Like we, I know from last week's games, we were not like, we were not accepting that at all. I think we went back to training and we just drilled ourselves out. Over that once we stepped over that line, we're going to execute it to the last whistle. I think today, that's a great show of what we actually yelled and trained in nonstop and we were on top of each other, kept each other accountable and today speaks for itself. We're here in high bars at the top of nine degrees today. Back home from where you're from. It's peak, peak time of the year. Back home in Jamaica. And you enjoyed the witty thing. - Oh, 100%. Like whenever I come to class. - You love everything now, I can tell. - Yeah, I 100% like I feel like the weather here is so refreshing. - Yes, just good way to put it. - It is. It is. It's like after, I've never thought in here would have been this hard bike. Could you not? I liked it. At first I struggled in the warm up. I was like, you know what? That's behind me. We need to win this game. And I feel like, you know, being here, it feels like hung away from home. And I think like today we just really nailed it. And we just wanted to give the crowd up and be like, this is for you, you know? Like we grind, we went out there and I'm just so happy. - There was Shimona Gox, speaking to SCN, Tassie Post game. Earlier in the day, the Tasmania Wild took on the Mavericks reserve side with the Mavs coming out on top 60 goals to 43. That's which goes to footy down some really sad news breaking on Friday that Tasmanian football community is mourning the loss of Des James after the Trailblazer passed away at the age of 71 last week. Arguably, Tasmania's greatest Indigenous player the Defender won three TFL premiships with Sandy Bay. Represented the state 24 times and an all Australian jumper in 1979 and was shortlisted for the Indigenous team of the century. Known for his skills, speed and sportsmanship on the field, James is also the younger brother of VFL umpire and great Glenn James, and of course, Anne Callenan's father in war. He was made a legend in the Tasmanian football hall of fame where Chris Feigen and Noel Leary had this to say about him for AFL Tasmania. - Des came here under a sort of a highly recommended by a previous Sandy Bay coach, Gordon Bowman. And when he first started, he played on the wing, I believe. But never really found his position until the following year when he was shifted back to the back line. And that's when he really blossomed and became a great player. - Des James. He was the hardest opponent I ever had. He played for Sandy Bay, he played in the back pocket. I think he was an all Australian at some stage. - Not only did he make the TFL sides and the Tasmanian sides, he played well in the games that they played. And that's what set him aside. And that's why he was selected in the all Australian side. - He was a very fair player, but a hard luck to play against. They used to frustrate me because particularly when I played in the full pocket, he just had this amazing ability. You'd think you would go and get to the ball first. And this year was you about to mark it. He would jump in front of you and take the mark or he'd jump in front of you and pick up the ball. Outstanding player and a really good bloke. Like I got to know him a little bit playing in Tasmanian sides. He was a bit older than me, but we'd go away on those trips and he'd sort of take me under his wing and we'd go out after games together and have a bit of fun. So love, Jamesy. That was Chris Fager to know, Larry speaking, about Dez James. So we sadly lost on late last week at the age of 71 in forts with the James family on their loss. Let's go to the TSL now, North Hobart was the story of the round after it defeated Launceston by nine points to secure its first senior win of the season. A big congratulations to Brad Tilbury who, Hamish, is the brother-in-law of our man Tim Payne. The Demons Development League coach played his 150th for the club and was recognised as a North Hobart player life member. Elsewhere, the league's two heavyweights, North Launceston and Clarence came away with wins against Kingborough and Glenorke, respectively in a reminded Trent Bormla. Not too far away from joining me here in the studio to talk about TSL and of course his new role as state rep coach. Congratulations to Richmond Skipper and three-time premiership player, Toby Nankerver. So he played his 150th AFL game yesterday. He joins us. No, he doesn't join us this morning. Unfortunately, it would be nice to have Nank on the show. The Australian Boomers training camp has officially started over in Melbourne. Friend of the show and ESPN basketball inside of Olga Nulech described the training so far as ultra-physical and unbelievably competitive in his piece on Friday. Jack Dumpers' grand final MVP, Jack McVay, has reportedly been one of the most impressive players. So far, you'll each wrote he is widely regarded as someone who's maybe helped himself the most this far in camp. And when speaking to people around the program, McVay's name comes up a lot. So we'll keep an eye on how Jackie Boy goes over there at training camp. Former Tasmanian athlete of the year in Commonwealth Games gold medalist Georgia Baker is heading to 3rd Olympics after being selected in Australia's cycling track team. Fellow Tasmanians Josh Duffy and Felicity Wilson Haffenden unfortunately missed out. Just quickly to an NBA one over the weekend, a good weekend for the Hobart Chargers men's and women's team. So both picked up two wins against Killcyth and Diamond Valley. It was tougher going for the Torns after they suffered two losses. And a mixed weekend for the Thunder, they had strong wins against the Eagles at home on Friday, but lost to the Cobras in overtime the following night. And an MPL soccer dramatic and wet top of the table clash between South Hobart and Devon Port at Darcy Street yesterday, which ended in a two-all-draw numerous yellow cards we've given out. And Stryker's coach Tom Ballantime was given a red in the first half. It was a good result for the Glenauky Knights after they recorded a seven-three win over King Brett in a lack of Cup final rematch. There's now just three points between South Hobart, Devon Port and Glenauky at the top of the MPL table. What a run home we've got in the MPL. And in the women's Super League, the King Reliance made it five wins in a row with a four-nil victory over Glenauky, while the Devon Port Stryker's are now six points clear on top after their two-nil win against South Hobart. That is an update thanks to United Forklifts end of financial years, so which is now on secure at Cat Forklift for only $27,990 plus GST. Hartkor's Open Line is up and about this morning. I like this one in from Sean Hamish. Sean from Launceston says, "Coffee in the bin hot chocolate for the win." Thank you, Sean. Like your work, you can get us on the Hartkor's Open Line as well. Oh, four, three, seven, double five, two, five, three, five. Well, call us 1342-1533. We're off to the news headlines, coming back with Snapper Reid from Taz Racing right after this.
