About Adelaide Lightning.
The City of Adelaide was planned by Colonel William Light, whose statue overlooks the town centre from its lofty perch at Montefiore Hill. The name Adelaide LIGHTNING utilised Light’s surname, when South Australia decided at the end of 1992 to submit a composite team into the Women’s National Basketball League.
Since 1998, the team has never missed a finals series, played in the 2000 Grand Final and have progressed to the preliminary final on five other occasions. After 12 successful seasons, Stirling retired from coaching the Lightning.
The 2016/17 season had the Adelaide Basketball consortium take on the Lightning and bringing on board Chris Lucas as Head Coach. This consortium was then sold to Grant Kelley who managed the team for the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons. He then gave notice that Adelaide Basketball would be handing back the licence at the end of the season. The team had one of their best season’s making the Grand Final and lost to Canberra in Game 3 of the series.
On 5 March 2019, Bruce Spangler and a consortium of business people announced that they had received the licence for the Lightning to continue into the 2019/20 season and beyond and are looking at ways to make the Club sustainable for future generations of players and fans.
