[edit] 2006 ResultsSee also: Bartercard Cup season 2006 In their debut season in 2006 the club performed poorly, managing only two wins and two draws from eighteen matches. They finished in last position on the table, collecting the Wooden Spoon. A bright point of the season was that fullback Brendon Hikaka, centre Mason Pure and hooker Linton Price were all selected for the Junior Kiwis.[1]
[edit] 2007 ResultsSee also: Bartercard Cup season 2007 Before the season started 2006 Head Coach Geoff Morton moved South and joined the Counties Manukau Jetz. He was replaced by Phil Marsh. The Storm started the season strongly with big wins against the Jetz (54-28) and Central Falcons (48-24). However they then suffered heavy losses to both the Waitakere Rangers (66-16) and league leaders the Auckland Lions (70-8). The squad showed improvement since 2006 but they again finished near the bottom of the table. A proud sponsor of the Northern Storm was Whangarei & Kamo Vehicle Testing Limited through Harry Clyde, an ex-Takahiwai Warriors League player himself.[citation needed]
