Another year has skyrocketed by for FleetEV National League, displaying incredible talent from our 8 teams across Wales.
Coastal Heat and Powys Sparks were added to the roster ahead of the competition, and what additions they have been!
The announcement of our headline sponsor FleetEV, kicked off the National League excitement back in April on World Earth Day. FleetEV, an electric vehicle leasing company, are on a mission to catalyse the transition to electric vehicles for businesses, the public sector, and individual consumers. They have undoubtedly been an incredible asset to the competition, due to their passion and commitment to promoting sports and physical wellness particularly among women. They believe in the power of sport to inspire, unite and empower, and have been an excellent support to our athletes and staff.
“It has been an absolute honor to support the FleetEV National League this year. Witnessing the positive impact we’ve generated across Wales has been both incredible and inspirational. We are excited to continue our support next year, building on this year’s solid foundations to further elevate the profile of women’s sports in Wales.”

Taking FleetEV National League across Wales has been a privilege, both in person and through live streaming alongside our sensational hosts in commentary.

It was amazing to provide athletes, management and umpires the opportunity to share their experiences both on and off court, we thoroughly enjoyed your presence.
Hosting the events across 3 competition venues allowed FleetEV National League to travel to Bangor University, Ebbw Vale Sport Centre and Cardiff City House of Sport – a huge thank you to all the venues for their support.
North East Inferno have soared to new heights defeating the defending champions, Valleys Volcanoes in a nail biting FleetEV National League final. Goal for goal early and in front of a vocal crowd at Cardiff City House of Sport which both teams proved that they could perform under pressure. Inferno working incredibly hard to maintain an undefeated league standing and a hard fought 4 goal win saw North East Inferno raise the FleetEV National League trophy in an electric match that ebbed and flowed, the battle had it all. Hundreds of fans travelled far and wide to watch the match unfold, and what a display of talent it was.
Outstanding performances by 2 individuals across the whole competition saw them awarded the Most Valuable Players, Caitlin Jones from North East Inferno and Gwenan Williams from North West Fury are credits to their teams. Determination, grit and sheer talent radiated from them both throughout their time on court.
An immense congratulations to all teams, coaches and management staff, for displaying a fiercely competitive competition, and a big thank you to everyone involved in making it happen, including our umpires and volunteers – we couldn’t do it without you!
