SURREY STORM Club SURREY STORM Based at the Surrey Sports Club at the University of Surrey on Richard Meyjes Road, Surrey Storm is a terrific example of what a club can achieve with a good set up. Competing in the Superleague last season they put together a superb campaign, compiling a league record of 12 wins and 2 draws they finished at the top of the table with 38 points. Coach Tamsin Greenway took the time to speak with Sport in Profile Magazine ahead of the 2015 campaign. She told us, “The mood here at the moment is really good. We’ve got a long squad with 21 girls and we’ve got to pick the final squad of 15 to go into the season by the end of November. It’s good– we’ve got a nice mix of experience and youth and have brought a few new players in. We’re looking forwards to getting back into competition now. Last season was a strange one because it has probably been our most successful season with going unbeaten all year up until the final. Obviously we’d have loved to claim the final piece of silverware at the end but you can’t knock the performance from the girls. It was a pretty incredible year even though we were disappointed to not come away with the final win. We’re not looking for many changes this year. We’ve picked up England Captain Pamela Cookey which is a great signing. One of the most important things for us is that we are a happy group with a really good team environment so there will be no major changes. Our targets with the way the league works are to get into the top 4 and make the playoffs. You’ve always got a chance to win the title if we can do that. When you’re losing by one goal in the final we’re just looking for the little things that will make the difference. 66 ISSUE 02 Dover Garage (Ash) limited, a Kia dealer for over 19 years, this month launched its extended sponsorship of Guildford based Surrey Storm Netball team.
