Historic Netball Super League Victory for London Pulse!

At Tactic Connect, we are proud to support the athletes who make moments like these possible. Through the work of our founder, Genevieve Gordon-Thomson, as Legal and Commercial Director of the Netball Players Association (NPA), we champion the rights, welfare, and commercial empowerment of netball players across the league, working with England Netball to drive the league forward into full professionalisation.

Genevieve’s role ensures that players are not only protected off the court but also positioned to thrive in their careers, on and beyond the court. From contract negotiations to commercial opportunities, her work with the NPA reflects Tactic Connect’s mission to elevate athlete support across all levels of sport.

It was a phenomenal Grand Final at The O2 Arena, and in front of a record-breaking crowd, London Pulse delivered a commanding 53-45 win over defending champions Loughborough Lightning, securing their first-ever Netball Super League title and denying Lightning a historic three-peat. Congratulations to all the players, coaches, and fans who made this season unforgettable. We’re excited to continue standing beside you as the game grows and continues its upward trajectory towards full professionalisation.  

The Telegraph stated, “Netball’s new-look NSL has drawn higher crowds this season – London Pulse’s 53-45 victory over Loughborough Lightning in the Grand Final on Sunday attracted a record number of fans to London’s O2 Arena”, in a piece reporting the further work needed on head injury as the article covers further ground from the Netball Players Association, ‘which is calling for greater vigilance around head injuries in the NSL. “As a sport we all need to ensure good injury surveillance, that HIAs are done consistently and that there is good care and follow-up for all players,” says Liz Bloor, the chief executive of the NPA. “Recognition of the potential accumulation of minor head injuries needs to be considered.”’ To read the full article, including the report on London Pulses’ win, please click here.
