History

edit

London Hurricanes

edit

Between 2001 and 2005, London Hurricanes, together with five other franchises – Northern Flames, London Tornadoes, Team Bath Force, University of Birmingham Blaze and Northern Thunder – competed in the Super Cup.[1][2][3] Players from the London Hurricanes Super Cup era included Abby Teare, Louisa Brownfield, Chioma Ezeogu, Sonia Mkoloma [4] and Ama Agbeze.[5]

Brunel Hurricanes

edit

By 2005 London Hurricanes had formed a partnership with Brunel University London. They subsequently became known as the Brunel Hurricanes.[6][7] In 2005 Brunel Hurricanes were named as the Greater London/South East England franchise in the new Netball Superleague. Together with Celtic Dragons, Leeds Carnegie, Galleria Mavericks, Team Bath, Loughborough Lightning, Northern Thunder and Team Northumbria, Brunel Hurricanes were founder members of the league.[8] Players from the Brunel Hurricanes era included Chioma Ezeogu and Sonia Mkoloma.[9][10] Kadeen Corbin also played for Brunel Hurricanes at youth level.[11]

Surrey Storm

edit

As the 2009–10 Netball Superleague season approached, Brunel Hurricanes ended their partnership with Brunel University London, relocated to the University of Surrey and became Surrey Storm.[12][13][14] In September 2009, Sonia Mkoloma and Geva Mentor became the first two players to sign for the franchise under the Surrey Storm name.[15] In October 2009 Tamsin Greenway also signed for Surrey Storm.[16] The arrival of Greenway saw the beginning of the most successful era in the history of the franchise. As team captain, player/coach and director of netball, Greenway played a pivotal part in this success. Between 2011 and 2016 Surrey Storm played in five out of the six Netball Superleague grand finals. After finishing as runners up in the first three, Surrey Storm won their first Netball Superleague title in 2015 and then retained the title in 2016.[17][18][19]
