West Coast Fever Reserves: Difference between revisions

Australian Netball League team

The West Coast Fever Reserves, formerly the Western Sting, are an Australian netball team that represents Netball Western Australia in the Super Netball Reserves competition. The Fever Reserves is the reserve team of Suncorp Super Netball club, West Coast Fever. The team is made up of selected stand-out players from GIG WANL, West Coast Fever training partners and some contracted West Coast Fever players.

Under the Sting name, the team were the champions of the Australian Netball League in 2017. The Fever Reserves also won the inaugural Super Netball Reserves premiership in 2025.

In 2008, Netball Western Australia entered a team in the Australian Netball League. They were a foundation member of the league.^[1] In 2011 the team began playing under the Western Sting name.^[2] Between 2013 and 2014 future West Coast Fever head coach, Stacey Marinkovich (née Rosman) served as the Sting head coach.^[3] In 2017, with a squad led by WANL superstar Jessica Eales, which included future Diamonds Sunday Aryang and Sophie Garbin, as well as future Fever players Emma Cosh, Olivia Lewis, Lindal Rohde, Annika Lee-Jones and Kaylia Stanton, the Sting reached their first ANL Grand Final after five bronze-medal finishes in the preceding six seasons. The match was played in front of a home crowd at the State Netball Centre against the Victorian Fury. The Sting led most of the match, including the entire second half, winning 63–47 and claiming their first ANL title.^[4][5]

In 2025, the Australian Netball Championships (ANC) was rebranded to the Super Netball Reserves by Netball Australia. This new format competition ran alongside the Suncorp Super Netball season, with Fever Reserves games taking place alongside the West Coast Fever, usually the day before or after an SSN match at a different venue, or pre- or post-SSN match at the same venue. Led by Fever 11th player Zoe Cransberg, and featuring Fever training partners Caitlyn Brown, Kelsey Browne and Sloan Burton, the Fever Reserves won all seven home-and-away season matches, qualifying straight into the Grand Final against the second-place finishing Melbourne Mavericks Reserves. They led at every break by at least 7 goals, cruising to a 67–57 win for the inaugural SN Reserves premiership. 2025 Australian World Youth Cup representative Jasmah Haywood was awarded the Player of the Grand Final after scoring 57/64 goals (89% accuracy).
