Netball SA Premier League 2025 live stream: Newton Jaguars v South Adelaide, Round 6

While the Newton Jaguars may be one of Netball SA Premier League’s youngest teams, they are intent on exceeding expectations against South Adelaide in round 6. Watch it LIVE.

While they may be coming up against a South Adelaide side that includes former league MVP Jess Paradiso, an improving Newton Jaguars side is confident they can challenge one of the competition heavyweights in round 6.

The Jaguars went through the entire 2024 season without a win but achieved an early victory this year against Metro Jets.

And despite being on a four-game losing streak, they’ve produced some quality displays in the early part of the season.

They’ll have the chance to turn that into a second win when they face South Adelaide on Friday night with both the Premier and Reserves matches available live and exclusive on KommunityTV from 7pm.

One of the league’s youngest sides, Jaguars put up a strong fight against Matrics in round five, eventually losing 59-46.

Coach Lee-Anne Cummins said she was confident her players could build off of the positive performance and take it to the Panthers, who are fresh off of a two-goal win over Tango.

“We were actually pretty pleased with our performance against Matrics – it was the most competitive we’ve been against them during my time with the club,” Cummins said.

“I think we’ve got a lot of self belief out of that game and we now know we can match the intensity with the top teams.

“We had some really good defensive battles and our goalies shot the best they have all year so we want to take that momentum and confidence into the game this week.

“South Adelaide got their first win on the board last week so we know they’ll be keen to go back-to-back.”

While the Jaguars sit at just 1-4 after five rounds, the side has seen the continued development of key players such as Centre Sienna Burns and Goal Shooter Amber Zalupka.

Cummins believed her group was improving with experience each week and learning what it took to win games.

“There’s been some ups and downs but that is expected from such a young group and we’ve definitely been progressing.

“If you look at the experience of other teams, we’ve still got an evolving group.

“There is going to be some inconsistency but we know we just need to continue to gain some experience and eventually we’ll get some runs on the board.”
