Fury steal top spot on New Idea ANL ladder

Victorian Fury have moved into top spot of the New Idea Australian Netball League ladder after an impressive weekend of netball in the Northern Territory.

In a round where the three of the league’s top teams headed north, Fury emerged the competition’s leader with a four-goal victory over the previously undefeated Queensland Fusion.

Unable to deliver a win to their home crowd, Territory Storm still treated its fans to some thrilling netball with the home favourites going down to the Australian Institute of Sport by six-goals on Sunday.

In other matches over the round, Netball NSW Waratahs maintained third spot with a convincing win over the Canberra Darters, while Western Australia, Tasmania, Netball NSW Blues and South Australia had a weekend of mixed-results in Sydney.
