In 1993 they were Mobil Super League premiers.

History

Early years

Garville Netball Club was formed in 1952. Their name is derived from Woodville Gardens, the Adelaide suburb where the club was originally based. Between 1962 and 1967, Garville won six successive South Australia state league premierships.[1][2]

Rivallry with Contax

During the 1980s and 1990s, Garville enjoyed a rivallry with Contax. Between 1986 and 1996 Contax and Garville contested every South Australia state league grand final. The rivalry saw the two clubs compete in nine consecutive state league grand finals, plus one Mobil Super League final, with both clubs winning five finals each. Between 1992 and 1995 Garville won four successive state league grand finals.[2][3][4][5][6]

National leagues

Mobil Superleague

During the 1990s Garville represented Netball South Australia in the Mobil Superleague, the winners of which were awarded the Prime Minister's Cup. Garville were grand finalists in both 1993 and 1994. In the 1993 grand final a Garville team featuring Natalie Avellino, Jenny Borlase and Michelle den Dekker defeated Sydney Electricity and finished as champions. However, in 1994 Garville lost the Prime Minister's Cup after they were defeated by Contax in controversial circumstances. A Contax team captained by Kathryn Harby and featuring Vicki Wilson and Tania Obst, took on a Garville team that again featured Avellino, Borlase and Dekker and now included Simone McKinnis. A closely fought match finished level at full time. However Garville claimed they had actually won the match 48–46. It was alleged that during the third quarter, the official scorer accidentally gave one of Garville's goals to Contax. Despite protests from Garville, extra time was played and resulted in a 61–58 win for Contax.[3][4][5][7]

Commonwealth Bank Trophy

In 1997 Netball Australia replaced the Mobil Superleague with the Commonwealth Bank Trophy league. Netball South Australia formed two brand new teams, Adelaide Thunderbirds and Adelaide Ravens to represent them in the new league. Garville effectively became a feeder team for Ravens.[8]
