College of West Anglia Fury, often shortened to COWA Fury and formerly known as Kings Lynn Fury, is an amateur basketball team from Kings Lynn, Norfolk, competing in the English Basketball League Men's Division 4.

The club was established in 2003by James Bamfield. 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 took to the court for the 2007-08 season as College of West Anglia Fury.

A winless season and financial difficulties led to the team withdrawing from division 1 and competing in Division 4 during the 08/09 season. You can visit the website www.furybasketball.co.uk for more info.

'Under 15 improve from 1 to 6 wins!' The under 15 squad had a much more successful year, improving on their one win during the 09/10 season to gain 6 wins. Adding Dave Roberts as assistant coach was a big help to the squad as well as the contribution made by Jordan Roberts on court. By the end of the season Adam Banham, Ben Berwick, Ben Crossley, Karl Johnson, Dan Clarke and Martin Bagdonas had taken on increased roles while Kasey Cannon and Jordan Prior Dixon had gained experience of high level basketball.
