The Melbourne Vixens have overpowered the Adelaide Thunderbirds to win the trans-Tasman netball championship by eight goals at Melbourne's Hisense Arena.
With shooters Caitlin Thwaites and Sharelle McMahon outstanding, the Vixens dominated all over the court to post a 54-46 victory and win their first ANZ Championship.
McMahon was named player of the match, shooting 23 of 28 goal attempts at 82%.
There was no New Zealand team in the trans-Tasman final after the Waikato - Bay of Plenty Magic was defeated by the Thunderbirds 51-37 in Hamilton last weekend.
