The New Idea Australian Netball League reigning champions, Victorian Fury have retained the championship trophy following a huge win over the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) in Brisbane, 46-32.

The Fury dominated the match at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre from the start with shooters Kathleen Knott and Karyn Bailey shooting at 100 per cent in the first quarter.

In the second quarter the Fury continued to overpower the opposition with mid-court intercepts and crucial rebounds from the defence end propelling the Victorian team to an 11 point lead.

Throughout the second half of the game the Fury maintained a 10 to 15 point lead to clinch the match and take the trophy for the second year running.

A series of changes in the third quarter for the AIS proved to be little help against the Fury despite narrowing the gap for a brief period in the third quarter.

The inclusion of AIS Laura Scherian as centre in the second half bolstered the side but it wasn’t enough to even come close to a comeback.

The Fury continuously took advantage of rebounds in the AIS shooting circle and mid-court intercepts from both teams kept the match alive.

Fury Goal Defence Kara Richards put notable pressure on the AIS attack players throughout the match while Knott and Bailey shot at near perfect accuracy in all four quarters.

The ANL grand final was played on Sunday as a curtain raiser to the Australian Diamonds v New Zealand Silver Ferns test match.
