Rainbow Coast Raiders

Rainbow Coast Raiders was a State Basketball League (SBL) club based in Albany, Western Australia.

[2][3] They were the first team outside of Perth to enter the SBL[4] and represented the Rainbow Coast and Great Southern region.

[1] The Raiders missed the finals in their first three seasons before making the top eight for the first time in 1992, finishing seventh with a 12–12 record and losing 2–0 in the quarter-finals to the Cockburn Cougars.

[4] The club attempted to re-enter the SBL for the 2001 season but their application was unsuccessful, with the league stating that the Raiders were "not quite ready".

[7][8] Over the next few years, attempts were made by Albany Basketball Association to submit bids and applications for a return of the Raiders to the SBL.
