Perspective
Australian Netball League
Between 2008 and 2019, Territory Storm played in the Australian Netball League. They were founder members of the ANL.[1][2][3][4][5][6] In December 2015, Netball Northern Territory announced that they were temporarily withdrawing Storm from the ANL league due to a lack of proper playing facilities and the cost of traveling interstate for away matches.[7][8][9]
After missing the 2016 ANL season, Territory Storm rejoined in 2017 after forming a partnership with Sunshine Coast Lightning.[10][11][12] Between 2017 and 2019 they were effectively Lightning's reserve team.[6][13][14] In 2018 Storm won their first game in six years.[14] In 2019, with a team featuring Lightning players Cara Koenen, Annika Lee-Jones, Peace Proscovia, and Jacqui Russell, Storm enjoyed one of their best seasons, winning six matches and finishing fifth.[6][15][16][17]
Australian Netball Championships
In July 2021, Territory Storm was not included among the teams listed to participate in the inaugural Australian Netball Championships. Their former partners, Sunshine Coast Lightning, opted to enter their own team.[18]
The Storm returned to the national netball stage by playing in the ANC in 2023,[19] finishing last in their pool with no wins.[20]
