Information About

Melbourne Kestrels




The Kestrels were one of the Commonwealth Bank Trophy's founding teams in 1997 , and initially played at the Waverley Netball Centre . However, they moved to their current venue, the State Netball and Hockey Centre, after it was completed in preparation for the 2006 Commonwealth Games .

Though the Kestrels have made the finals several times, they have never got past the semi-finals, and have often been seen as a lesser cousin of the rival Melbourne Phoenix. After again losing in the semi-finals in 2005 and coming fourth for the fourth year in a row, coach Searle stated that there may be major changes to the composition of the side for the 2006 season.
