Back to back, baby!

The Adelaide Thunderbirds are the Super Netball champions of 2024 after winning back-to-back premiership titles. They were victorious over the Melbourne Vixens, 59-57, who were courageous until the final whistle.

There was nothing in the game, it was a real arm-wrestle and everything you would hope a grand final at this level would be. The win for the Thunderbirds cemented their undefeated record at home this season. For the Vixens, it is back to the drawing board with the knowledge they took it to the best team this year, and almost came away with a fairy tale finish. 

An MVP performance by 35-year-old veteran, Romelda Aiken-George, was a highlight of the grand final. Leading the Thunderbirds to the trophy off just two hours sleep mind you as her daughter was unwell the night before. After being let go by the Firebirds in 2022 after 14 years service, she has found her place at the top of the sport once more and is thriving in Adelaide.
