History

[edit | edit source]

Between 1997 and 2002, Adelaide Ravens played in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy league. Together with Adelaide Thunderbirds, Melbourne Kestrels, Melbourne Phoenix, Perth Orioles, Queensland Firebirds, Sydney Sandpipers and Sydney Swifts, Ravens were one of the founding members of the league. The majority of the teams were named after native Australian birds. Ravens were named after the Australian raven. Ravens and Thunderbirds represented Netball South Australia and each team was assigned four state league clubs to select players from.[1][2][3][4][5]

In 1999, with a team coached by Patricia Mickan and featuring Megan Anderson and Michelle den Dekker, Ravens finished the season as overall runners up. After finishing fourth during the regular season, Ravens defeated Kestrels 61–53 in the minor semi-final and Swifts 56–54 in the preliminary final. In the grand final they lost to 62–30 to Thunderbirds.[2]

In August 2002, Netball Australia decided to drop Ravens from the league. They were subsequently replaced by AIS Canberra Darters.[6][7][8][9]
