College of West Anglia Fury, often shorted to West Anglia Fury and formerly known as Kings Lynn Fury, is a semi-professional basketball team from Kings Lynn, Norfolk, competing in the English Basketball League Men's Division 1.
The club was established in 2003. Basketball in the area had seen a boom in the early 1990s with the women’s team King's Lynn Eagles competing in National League competition and two men's clubs running locally: the Downham Magics and the King's Lynn Basketball Club. In 1999 the Lynn club and the Magics merged to form the King's Lynn Magics, which competed in the Peterborough regional league.
Fury finished third in their first season in EBL Division 3 South and were promoted to Division 2. In their second season, the team finished fourth and were promoted in 2005, into an expanded Division 1, while also finishing as Runner-up in the Patron's Cup.
In 2007, through a partnership with the College of West Anglia and their renowned basketball academy, the team name was changed to incorporate the new backers name, and therefore the team will take to the court for the 2007-08 season as College of West Anglia Fury.
