It was clear from the thousands of proud smiles and inspired faces which greeted Queensland's all conquering netball team at their ticker-tape parade.

The Firebirds are having their well-deserved moment. And with it, women's sport and all who play, support and celebrate it, are getting theirs as well.

Ten-year-old Layla Duffy, a centre with the Bluejays, was there to say thank you and congratulations to all the team, who became the first to claim back-to-back titles after beating the NSW Swifts in a thrilling double overtime decider last week, 69 to 67.

But she was saving a special thank you to her favourite player, Gabi Simpson, who she said inspired her.
