Thunderbirds defeat Vixens 66-53 in Suncorp Super Netball opener, led by Romelda Aiken-George`s stellar performance.

The 2025 Suncorp Super Netball season kicked off with an electrifying rematch of last year`s Grand Final, where the Adelaide Thunderbirds faced off against the Melbourne Vixens. The Thunderbirds emerged victorious with a commanding 66-53 win, showcasing their determination to secure a three-peat. Romelda Aiken-George played a pivotal role in this triumph, silencing any doubts about the team`s capabilities.

This season is set to be fiercely competitive, highlighted by significant player movements. Grace Nweke has joined the NSW Swifts, while Verity Simmons makes her return from retirement to bolster the Swifts` lineup. Key fixtures on the calendar include the highly anticipated Queensland derby between the Sunshine Coast Lightning and the Queensland Firebirds, as well as a rivalry clash between the Melbourne Vixens and the West Coast Fever.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the Grand Final, scheduled for August 2 at the iconic Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. Meanwhile, local netball competitions are also in full swing, with notable results such as a Division 1 senior team narrowly losing to Sunshine Coast 45-41. However, information on netball competitions in the United States remains limited. For more details on netball, visit Netball Australia and Netball News.
