High stakes set for TNL power week 3 at Durban ICC

Who will be crowned the 2025 Telkom Netball League (TNL) champion as the stakes rise at the kickoff of Power Week 3 on 14 July at the Durban ICC? The TNL Power Week culminates in a tense showdown, as teams from each division battle it out to secure their place in the semifinals and the finals.

The matches, broadcast on SuperSport, will run until 20 July 2025. Tickets are available on the Netball South Africa (NSA) website (https://shop.netball-sa.org.za/shop-nsa-store/) at just R100 - offering fans the chance to witness high-intensity netball first-hand in a world-class venue.

Sun City previously hosted the inaugural Power Week in April, followed by the June edition at the same venue.

The TNL, South Africa’s premier semi-professional netball competition, has been sponsored by Telkom since becoming the official sponsor in 2019. In 2023, Telkom announced a three-year extension of its sponsorship.

Over the years, the league has elevated standards across the game while celebrating the achievements of teams like the Free State Crinums, who clinched their fourth championship title in 2024 after a thrilling final against the Gauteng Jaguars.

In Division One, Crinums are in second place with 14 points after nine games, having lost two and won seven. They trail Golden Fireballs, who remained unbeaten through TNL Week One and Week Two and have accumulated 18 points from nine matches.

In Division Two, Tornados rose to the top during Week Two, earning 20 points from 12 games. Tshukudu has dropped to second place, just one point behind the leaders, largely due to a draw in one of their matches.

The Division Two final is scheduled for 19 July, while the Division One final is pencilled in for 20 July. A relegation match will be played before the final.

Matches will be televised on SuperSport Variety 4, channel 209.
