Curro Salt Rock secured back-to-back Gelofte Night Series titles with a 25-20 win over hosts Gelofte Skool in Pinetown on Friday night.

Playing in front of a vocal home crowd, Curro delivered a composed performance to retain the trophy they first won in 2025. The North Coast side entered the final unbeaten after another consistent run through the pool stages.

Curro took early control of the final and built an eight-goal lead heading into the last quarter before closing out a five-point victory.

“It was an outstanding match of high-quality, competitive netball,” said head coach Chené Gissing.

Gissing said the result was particularly significant given the team’s inexperience.

“This is a new group, but their unity and commitment were evident throughout. I’m incredibly proud of them.”

Despite the hostile atmosphere, with drums and chants echoing through the venue, Curro remained composed.

“We anticipated the environment and used it as motivation,” Gissing added.
