Anna-Maria Panthier continues to age like fine wine, showing no signs of slowing down, as the veteran player powered the Spartans to yet another National Netball title, beating the Celtics last night at the Windsor Park.

For the Celtics, Mellisa Williams made 25 from 39 attempts, and Akeelah Daisy 17 from 25, as they overcame a double-digit deficit in the 3rd quarter to take the lead, but came up short in the end.
