The Sunshine Coast Lightning have won the first Super Netball title with a 65-48 win over the Giants in the grand final.

Lightning goalkeeper Geva Mentor did a number on Giants shooter Kristina Brice and Susan Pettitt — finishing the game with four rebounds, four deflections and an intercept — and her effort was matched at the other end.

Goal-attack Stephanie Wood was superb with 16 goals and 20 assists, while national star shooter Caitlin Bassett was as influential as ever, nailing 49 of her 51 shots.

Sunshine Coast's win continues Queensland's dominance of the domestic netball scene, with the Firebirds winning the last two trans-Tasman titles leading up to the introduction of Super Netball.

This year's grand final featured the second- and third-placed teams on the Super Netball ladder, both of which had defeated the top-finishing Melbourne Vixens to reach the decider.

The NSW outfit began better with Bec Bulley and Sam Poolman effectively blocking the path to Bassett as the Giants ran out to an 8-3 lead.

The Lightning whittled the lead down and a late Wood goal reduced the deficit to 15-13 at the first break.

A 10-3 scoring run for the hosts started the second stanza and the Giants went to the long break five points down.

The lead was extended to 10 points by three-quarter-time and the Sunshine Coast players and coaches visibly relaxed as they romped to victory in the final quarter, ending their season in the perfect manner.
