Unstoppable during 2017, the Steel were a class above all- comers, overcoming adversity to clinch an impressive 16th successive win in the season’s showcase Grand Final. 2018 ASCOT PARK HOTEL SOUTHERN STEEL Ascot Park Hotel Southern Steel became back-to-back champions after coming from behind in a fairytale ANZ Premiership Grand Final. The Steel beat Te Wānanga o Raukawa Pulse 54-53 at Fly Palmy Arena in Palmerston North and did it in a dramatic fashion, netting the last seven goals of the game to spoil the hosts’ party after the Pulse looked in control for much of the game. 2019 TE WANANGA O RAUKAWA PULSE Te Wānanga o Raukawa Pulse finally etched their name in New Zealand netball history as ANZ Premiership champions. Putting the nightmare of the 2018 Grand Final behind them, the Pulse held off a valiant effort from the Northern Stars to take out the match 52-48 in front of a rapturous home crowd in Porirua. 2020 TE WANANGA O RAUKAWA PULSE Defending champions the Te Wānanga o Raukawa Pulse put on a punishing display to end an unprecedented season with a 43-31 Grand Final victory over The Good Oil Tactix. Although they led by 10 at halftime, the experienced Pulse had to pull out all the stops in the final quarter to keep out a fast-closing Tactix. 2021 FIXTURES ROUND 1 ROUND 2 ROUND 3 Sun 18 April, 4.15pm Sat 24 April, 5.15pm Sun 2 May, 4.15pm Pulse v Stars Mystics v Steel Steel v Pulse Fly Palmy Arena, Palmerston North Eventfinda Stadium, North Shore ILT Stadium Southland, Invercargill Sun 18 April, 6.15pm Sun 25 April, 4.15pm Sun 2 May, 6.15pm Steel v Tactix Stars v Tactix Magic v Stars ILT Stadium Southland, Invercargill Pulman Arena, Papakura Trustpower Baypark Arena, Tauranga Mon 19 April, 7.15pm Sun 25 April, 6.15pm Mon 3 May, 7.15pm Mystics v Magic Magic v Pulse Mystics v Tactix The Trusts Arena, Auckland Claudelands Arena, Hamilton The Trusts Arena, Auckland ROUND 7 ROUND 8 ROUND 9 Sun 30 May, 4pm Sat 5 June, 5.15pm Sun 13 June, 6.15pm Mystics v Steel Tactix v Pulse Stars v Pulse The Trusts Arena, Auckland Christchurch Arena, Christchurch Pulman Arena, Papakura Sun 30 May, 6pm Sun 6 June, 4.15pm Mon 14 June, 6.15pm Pulse v Magic Steel v Magic Magic v Mystics TSB Arena, Wellington Edgar Centre, Dunedin Claudelands Arena, Hamilton Mon 31 May, 7pm Sun 6 June, 6.15pm Mon 14 June, 8.15pm Stars v Tactix Mystics v Stars Tactix v Steel Pulman Arena, Papakura The Trusts Arena, Auckland Trafalgar Centre, Nelson ROUND 13 ROUND 14 ROUND 15 - COMMUNITY ROUND Sun 11 July, 4.15pm Sun 18 July, 4.15pm Sat 24 July, 5.15pm Pulse v Magic Magic v Tactix Steel v Pulse TSB Arena, Wellington Energy Events Centre, Rotorua ILT Stadium Southland, Invercargill Sun 11 July, 6.15pm Sun 18 July, 6.15pm Sun 25 July, 4.15pm Steel v Mystics Pulse v Mystics Tactix v Mystics ILT Stadium Southland, Invercargill TSB Arena, Wellington Christchurch Arena, Christchurch Mon 12 July, 7.15pm Mon 19 July, 7.15pm Mon 26 July, 7.15pm Tactix v Stars Stars v Steel Stars v Magic Christchurch Arena, Christchurch Pulman Arena, Papakura Pulman Arena, Papakura ROUND ROUND 4 4 ROUND 5 - HERITAGE ROUND ROUND 6 Sun 9 May, 4.15pm Sun 16 May, 4.15pm Sun 23 May, 4.15pm Stars v Steel Pulse v Steel Stars v Pulse Pulman Arena, Papakura Te Rauparaha Arena, Porirua Pulman Arena, Papakura Sun 9 May, 6.15pm Mon 17 May, 6.15pm Mon 24 May, 6.15pm Tactix v Magic Tactix v Mystics Steel v Tactix Christchurch Arena, Christchurch Christchurch Arena, Christchurch ILT Stadium Southland, Invercargill Mon 10 May, 7.15pm Mon 17 May, 8.15pm Mon 24 May, 8.15pm Pulse v Mystics Magic v Stars Magic v Mystics TSB Arena, Wellington Trustpower Baypark Arena, Tauranga Trustpower Baypark Arena, Tauranga ROUND 10 ROUND 11 ROUND 12 Sat 19 June, 5.15pm Sun 27 June, 4.15pm Sun 4 July, 4.15pm Steel v Stars Pulse v Tactix Mystics v Stars Edgar Centre, Dunedin Te Rauparaha Arena, Porirua The Trusts Arena, Auckland Sun 20 June, 4.15pm Sun 27 June, 6.15pm Sun 4 July, 6.15pm Mystics v Pulse Stars v Mystics Tactix v Pulse The Trusts Arena, Auckland Pulman Arena, Papakura Trafalgar Centre, Nelson Mon 21 June, 7.15pm Mon 28 June, 7.15pm Mon 5 July, 7.15pm Tactix v Magic Steel v Magic Magic v Steel Trafalgar Centre, Nelson ILT Stadium Southland, Invercargill Claudelands Arena, Hamilton ELIMINATION FINAL GRAND FINAL TBC TBC 2nd v 3rd 1st v Winner EF ELIGIBILITY RULE PLAYERS CONTRACTED UNDER THE ELIGIBILITY RULE Under the ANZ Premiership Eligibility Rule every team is entitled to contract one athlete who is ineligible for NZ as per INF Eligibility criteria.
