After winning the regular season without losing a match, Storm, with a team featuring player/coach Tamsin Greenway and Rachel Dunn, started the final as favourites.

However Thunder, coached by Tracey Neville and featuring Sara Bayman, remained a threat throughout the match.

Thunder pounced on a loose ball and fed it to Helen Housby who subsequently netted a very late winner.
