The 2010 ANL Grand Final will be played on 12 September at Waverley Netball Centre in Melbourne.

Featuring up and coming netballers from all around Australia and Asia, the 2010 ANL season promises to once again be a breeding ground for new talent with the competition set to deliver an impressive dis[lay of ability, skill and athleticism.
