Kulhudhuffushi Youth and Recreation Club (KYRC) emerged as the champions of the first division netball tournament by defeating Club Green Streets in a thrilling finals match with a score of 66-59. This victory follows KYRC's previous win over Green Streets in last year's finals, where they triumphed with a score of 55-46.

Green Streets had previously claimed the champion title in 2021 and 2019, while the tournament did not take place in 2020 due to Covid-19.

Aishath Saleema was honored as the Best Player of the finals and also received the title of Best Player in the first division. Joining her in the list of the best seven players were KYRC's Mariyam Shina'ath, Aminath Firusha, and Malak Ismail Mohamed, as well as Green Street's Layaan Ali Rasheed, Aminath Reem Shaam, and Aminath Nazura.
