Kazuals stun Aztecs again in netball finals while Lightning end Pumas’ season

Kazuals have done it again and upset Aztecs in the first round of finals, sending them straight into the Geraldton Netball Association grand final. Aztecs had previously won 36 games in a row, an unprecedented streak that was ended in round 11 by Kazuals. Aztecs then suffered another loss only three weeks later to the Lightning, and now in the first round of finals Kazuals managed to stun them once again with a 60-52 win, securing themselves a spot in the big dance. Kazuals will now enter the grand final and have a chance to get the win after falling short to Aztecs in 2018, 2019 and 2022. Now Aztecs will have to play the preliminary final if they want to defend their championship from last year, and they will have to face the only other team who have handed them a loss. In the elimination final, the Lightning pulled off a close 44-41 win against Pumas to end their season. Aztecs and the Lightning will face off in the preliminary final on Tuesday, with the winner going to the grand final to play the Kazuals the following Tuesday.
