Opening Round of the 2025 Tasmanian Netball League saw some tight fought games across two rounds of netball. The weekend was an opportunity to all of our TNL Clubs to gather in one location to launch the season. Day One saw Northern Hawks, and Devon cement themselves as strong contenders for the rest of the season in both the U19's and Opens. Winning all 4 of their games convincingly, despite some changes within their team lineups, the teams finished the weekends first and second on the ladder.
In the U19's, both Kingston and Cripps finished the weekend with one win. Kingston Blues started very strong winning against last year's 19&U Premiers the Cavaliers. Thier second game of the weekend was a close one against the Northern Hawks where they narrowly missed out on another win. All in all a promising start to the year. Cripps took a little while to settle into their groove with a very new and young U19's team. Cripps won their second game of the weekend against the Cavaliers to go 0-1 from 2 rounds. Karana and South East Suns both had byes in the first two rounds, both coming out of the weekend with a loss to start their season.
Opens Cavaliers started both of their games tentatively but came back to win each by a large margin. The 2024 Premiership Runners Up are certainly out to prove a point this season. Cripps, Kingston, Suns and Karana left the first two rounds winless but not without positive learnings for each team.
Throughout the 2025 season, each livestreamed Opens game will have a 2XU Player of the Match awarded to the player who stands out most on court. Opening Round had 4 livestreamed games, and four Player of the Match's. Congratulations to Grace Close from Northern Hawks, Devon's Tyrah Bacon, the Cavaliers' Paige O'Neill, and Makenzie Anderson from Devon.
