The Fiji Pearls started their Pacific Netball Series campaign on a high after defeating Singapore 67-52 in their first match last night at the Nissan Arena in Brisbane.

Fiji started the first quarter well holding a 17-12 lead and extended the lead to 36-27 heading into halftime.

They continued their dominance in the third quarter as they took a 56-37 lead.

Singapore tried to fight back in the last quarter but was not enough as Fiji held on to claim the win.

The Fiji Pearls will now take on Samoa at 5pm this afternoon in their second match.
