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.
