Jamalco were crowned Netball Jamaica Supreme Ventures champion following a thrilling 46-45 win over Rockerz at the Leila Robinson Courts at the National Stadium on Saturday, May 24.

In front of a vibrant crowd, Jamalco, coached by Winston Nevers, rallied to beat the Kurt Dale-coached Rockerz in a thrilling come-from-behind victory. Jamalco’s Goalkeeper, Paula-Ann Burton, put on a defensive masterclass to earn the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award.

Earlier, Tivoli Gardens secured third place after a decisive win, while Speg “B” defeated Global “B” 36-21 to win the Minor League final.

In the Intermediate “B” League, Jobs Lane edged Maxfield “B” 34-32 in double overtime in a hard-fought victory, while Police “A” claimed a narrow 35-32 win over Liguanea “A” in the Intermediate “A” Final, capping off thrilling action.

As a highlight to end the season, 18 teams that did not advance to the playoffs participated in the Last Chance Rally, a spirited competition supported by Mitsubishi Motors, which offered cash prizes and was won by Police “B” with Maxfield “A” finishing as runners-up.
