Victorian Fury

Netball Victoria

Victorian Fury is effectively the representative team of the Victorian Netball League.^[2][3] They are also one of two teams that represent Netball Victoria in senior or national leagues. Their senior team, Melbourne Vixens, have represented Netball Victoria in both the ANZ Championship and Suncorp Super Netball.^[4][5] In 2013 and 2014 Netball Victoria also entered a second team known as Victorian Flames in the Australian Netball League.^[6][7][8][9]

In 2016 Fury and Vixens began to host double headers against other ANL and ANZ Championship teams. This was part of a process where the relationship between the two leagues became more formalized. As part of this arrangement, a limited number of Vixens players were also eligible to play for Fury.^[10][11][12]

Three in a row

In 2008 Victorian Fury were both founder members and the inaugural champions of the Australian Netball League.^[13] Chelsey Nash captained Fury to their first title.^[14] In 2009 Fury retained the title ^[15][16][17] and in 2010 they completed a three in a row.^[18][19] Other members of the Fury team from this era included Kathleen Knott and Karyn Bailey.^[20][1]

In the grand final against NSW Waratahs she scored 38 goals with a 97% strike rate. She was subsequently named the ANL's MVP.^[20][22] In 2015 Jo Weston, Kelsey Browne, Alice Teague-Neeld and Elle Bennetts were all members of the Fury team captained by Fiona Themann that won the ANL title for a sixth time.^[21] In 2016 Themann, again captain, and Bennetts were joined by Tayla Honey, Lara Dunkley and Shannon Eagland as Fury won their seventh title.^[23]
