EMMNAs, you were incredible!
Let’s rewind to last weekend and the amazing time we had at the England Men’s and Mixed Netball Championships! What a weekend it was, we got to spend two days doing what we love most: watching and talking about netball!
Saturday: Rain couldn’t dampen the vibe.
We arrived bright and early Saturday morning to a very grey and rainy day in Loughborough but the mood was not to be dampened. Even though it rained nearly all day, game after game, the teams were bringing the energy. The competition was intense, with three games happening side by side, the noise was deafening. It was incredible to see. Even more exciting was the number of InfinitMax that were already out on court, proving themselves. There is something really special about seeing them doing what they were built for, protecting the athlete through every jump, pivot and change of direction. We had so many amazing conversations with so many of you over the weekend, those of you who had always wanted to try the shoe on or who were coming back for your second pair.
Sunday: Finals Day
If we thought the mood on Saturday was high, then Sunday was through the roof. We were courtside for the finals, right in the heart of the action, and the venue was packed all day with spectators and teams determined not to miss a single second. The finals saw London Giants Blitz vs Stunts OG’s take to the court in the Mixed Championship Grand Final and London Giants vs World Male Strikers in the Men’s Championship Grand Final in what can only be described as the ultimate showdowns. The matches saw Stunts OG’s and World Male Strikers coming out on top, and what incredible games they were to close out the weekend!
However, there was more to the weekend than just the results; to see so many people there purely for the love of netball, fans cheering every goal, interception, rebound, and unbelievable feat of athletic performance on display, was such a poignant reminder of why Elandr was built in the first place - to ensure that netballers can play for a lifetime.

Thank you EMMNA’s!
To everyone who came to see us, tried on a pair of InfinitMax, or just for a chat about ankle protection and injury prevention - thank you! Thank you as well to the whole EMMNA team for putting on such a great weekend and continuing to help this amazing sport grow.
