Built off the back of a strong 11-3 first-quarter, NSW never really looked in danger of dropping its opening game despite constant fightback from South Australia.

In a ‘soft’ opening day launch before a massive day of action on Friday, eight games were contested with each state across the 17/U and 19/U grades each featuring in one game.

In other 19/U matches, Queensland easily accounted for Tasmania 49-20, Western Australia knocked off the Australian Capital Territory 39-18 and Victoria defeated the Northern Territory 45-18.

The match-up between Western Australia and Queensland was the highlight of the 17/U matches with WA winning 37-33.

Victoria thrashed the Northern Territory 68-2, New South Wales defeated Tasmania 40-22 and South Australia came away with a 42-15 win over the Australian Capital Territory.

SA has been the dominant force in the 17/U division in recent years, winning of five of the past seven titles.

Last year they crushed Western Australia’s hopes of breaking a 41-year drought in a two-goal grand final victory that was full of drama.

The ACT meanwhile will be looking to better their sixth-placed finish from last year.

Hosts New South Wales will kick off the action on Court 4 when they take on Tasmania in a 17/U clash but the big one for the Blues will come at the end of day one.

NSW – defending 19/U champions – take on SA at 7.45pm to close out the action on the Show Court.

The Blues were dominant in 2024 as they defeated Queensland in the gold medal game, however a meeting first up against SA will be a stern test.

The Reds have won two of the last four 19/U crowns with NSW triumphing in the other two.

Every match of the National Netball Championships will be exclusively live streamed on KommunityTV from April 10-16.

The coverage is part of a three-year deal between KommunityTV and Netball Australia to exclusively live stream all games from the annual tournament.
