LARKFIELD were crowned Netball Northern Ireland Premier Cup Champions following a strong 57–32 victory over Belfast Ladies 1 at Lisburn Racquets Club.

Both teams earned their place in the final after a highly competitive Premier League season, battling through 18 rounds of fixtures. Consistency across the campaign saw Larkfield finish top of the table, carrying that form confidently into the final.

On the night, Larkfield delivered a composed and clinical performance, applying pressure across the court and capitalising on key moments to build and maintain their lead. Belfast Ladies 1 showed resilience and determination throughout, continuing to compete and challenge across all four quarters.

The final was a fitting conclusion to a demanding league season, showcasing the high standard and intensity of Premier League netball.

Thank you to all spectators who came along to Lisburn Racquets Club to support both teams and create a fantastic atmosphere on the night.

Netball Northern Ireland would like to thank umpires Catriona Mills and Jana Maritz for their professionalism and contribution to the game.

A sincere thank you also to the Competition Working Group for their continued commitment and hard work throughout the season to deliver a successful Premier League campaign.
