🏆 2026 DIVISION 8 GRAND FINAL PREVIEW 🏆

The Division 8 Grand Final is set to be an exciting clash between Motors Div 8 and Clovers Launceston Engineering!

Coming into their Qualifying Final as the underdogs, Motors Div 8 delivered a strong and consistent four-quarter performance to best Minor Premiers Generation Neutral Electrical Pty Ltd, securing an impressive 9-goal victory. Their hard-fought win booked them a direct place in the Grand Final and a well-deserved week’s rest.

Clovers Launceston Engineering came into their Elimination Semi Final with a point to prove. In a closely contested battle against Gee Tees Black NC, the two sides went goal-for-goal in a game that came right down to the wire. Clovers held their nerve to secure a one-goal victory and keep their finals campaign alive.

They then faced Generation Neutral Electrical in the Preliminary Final in what proved to be another finals classic. Clovers managed to keep their noses in front throughout, but were constantly challenged by the Minor Premiers. In the end, Clovers held on for a thrilling 31–29 victory, overcoming their third-place finish to earn their shot at the Division 8 title.

The two sides have already shared the wins this season, making for an intriguing Grand Final matchup. Motors claimed the honours in Round 5 with a 34–25 victory, before Clovers turned the tables in Round 12 with a convincing 18-goal win.

There’s plenty on the line and little to separate these two sides heading into the big one. We hope to see you at The Hub for our last Grand Final of the Midweek Competition!

🏆 2026 DIVISION 1 GRAND FINAL PREVIEW 🏆

Our Division 1 Grand Final for the 2026 Midweek Winter Roster will be played between Esk Solahart and Clovers McKillop Insurance Brokers.

No, that’s not a typo, we’ve got a 2025 Grand Final replay on our hands 👀

This season showcased the incredible depth of talent we have here in Northern Tasmania, with a high quality competition that once again reinforced the North’s reputation as a powerhouse of Tasmanian netball.

Esk Solahart finished the regular season as Minor Premiers, putting together a commanding 13–2 campaign. They met second-placed Clovers McKillops Insurance Brokers in the Qualifying Semi Final, where Esk secured their spot in the Grand Final with a convincing 63–37 victory.

Meanwhile, Motors and Generation CVGT Employment battled it out in the Elimination Semi Final for a spot in the Preliminary Final, with Generation coming away with a hard-fought four-goal win.

The Preliminary Final between Clovers and Generation was a masterclass in tactical play and patience from both sides. Generation put up a valiant effort but ultimately fell short, with Clovers booking their rematch with Esk after a 57–51 victory.

Esk Solahart have claimed the Division 1 Premiership in 2023, 2024 and 2025 and are now gunning for a historic four-peat. However, Clovers have all the ingredients to put together a performance that could stop Esk’s reign at three.

Both teams bring a fantastic balance of youth, experience and finals familiarity, making this one a Grand Final you won’t want to miss!

🏆 2026 DIVISION 2 GRAND FINAL PREVIEW 🏆

Playing off for the Division 2 Premiership, we’ve got Esk Dance Fit and Clovers Boathouse Centre!

Esk Dance Fit have had a commanding season, finishing as Division 2 Minor Premiers. Their clinical Qualifying Semi Final win over Western Storm Hurricanes secured their spot straight through to the Grand Final.

Clovers Boathouse Centre wrapped up the regular season in third place on the ladder and put together a convincing 51–33 victory over Amazonz Total POS Solutions in the Elimination Semi Final.

The Preliminary Final between Western Storm Hurricanes and Clovers Boathouse Centre was a rollercoaster from start to finish. Western Storm came out firing in the first quarter, but Clovers dug deep to turn things around and headed into the halftime break with a three-goal lead. A tight, goal-for-goal second half saw Clovers hold their nerve and come away with a two-goal victory.

Both teams bring an exciting mix of experience and next gen talent and this final has all the ingredients to steal the show on Tuesday night!

Esk Dance Fit and Clovers Boathouse Centre have met three times this season, with Esk coming away victorious on each occasion (R2: 33–32, R7: 38–29 and R14 43–37).

Will Esk Dance Fit continue their winning streak, or can Clovers Boathouse Centre cause an upset when it matters most? Bring it on! 🤝

🏆 2026 DIVISION 3 GRAND FINAL PREVIEW 🏆

The Division 3 Grand Final will be played between Midlands Magic Black and Esk Orana Enterprises.

The Division 3 Finals Series may just be one of this year’s most exciting, with not one, but two overtime games! 😱

The Qualifying Semi Final between Minor Premiers Clovers Fitz Best Plastering and Midlands Magic Black was a goal-for-goal battle. Both sides know how to play finals netball and it showed! However, Midlands were able to topple the top-of-the-table Clovers and come away with a six-goal win, booking their place in the Grand Final.

The Elimination Semi Final between Esk Orana Enterprises and Clovers Country Club Tasmania was an absolute thriller. Clovers Country Club looked to be in control for the first three quarters and were poised to claim their first win over Esk this season, but Esk chased them down to bring the game level at full time. A few key intercepts and some cool shooting under pressure saw Esk claim the win by four goals in overtime.

The Preliminary Final between Clovers Fitz Best Plastering and Esk Orana Enterprises was another electric contest, with big crowds riding every goal from both teams. Esk looked strong in the first half, but Clovers fought their way back into the game in the third quarter, with the match finishing in another draw at full time.

Esk, now seemingly the experts in overtime against Clovers teams, held their nerve once again, coming away with another four-goal overtime victory and a spot in the big game.

This Grand Final is sure to deliver a game to match the calibre of the last two weeks! We can’t wait to see whether Midlands Magic Black can get the job done, or whether Esk can ride the momentum of the last two weeks all the way to a Premiership.

Bring on the Grand Final! 🏆

🏆 2026 DIVISION 4 GRAND FINAL PREVIEW 🏆

The stage is set for an exciting Division 4 Grand Final between Tamar Jets Legana Tavern and Gee Tees Gold!

Tamar Jets have been the benchmark team all season, dropping just one game and drawing one to finish as Minor Premiers. They faced George Town Saints in the Qualifying Final and in a nail-biter, secured their spot in the Grand Final with an exciting one-goal victory.

Gee Tees Gold have impressed throughout the season, finishing in third ladder position. They secured a convincing win over Deloraine Devils Orange in the Elimination Semi Final before taking on George Town Saints in the Preliminary Final. Despite a strong fourth-quarter fightback from George Town, Gee Tees held their nerve to secure a 38–31 win and book their place in the Grand Final.

This game promises to be a cracker! Tamar Jets Legana Tavern have typically had the upper hand in their meetings this season and will head into the game with plenty of confidence. However, Gee Tees have already shown they can challenge the Minor Premiers, handing Tamar Jets their only loss of the season in Round 5 with a 34–29 victory.

Can Gee Tees bring that same spark to the Grand Final and complete their run from third place to Premiership glory? Or will Tamar Jets cap off their stellar season with the chocolates? 🍫
