Two other North Coast teams, the Coffs Coast Tigers and Coffs City United ended up nil all in their respective matches, only to both lose both matches on penalties.

The storm's new premier league coach Eric McCarthy said the win over Bellingen was a good result for a new look senior squad for season 2020.

"There have been a lot of changes with about a dozen new faces coming into the squad," McCarthy said.

"It's a roster that's a good mix of experience and youth.

"A lot of the Storm Under 17s players who were premiers and grand finalists two years running are now coming through to the senior ranks, plus we still have the seniors players as our core, who have been so successful for the Storm over previous seasons.

"We had two young players make their debuts at the weekend, Addison Tyas at centre back, who's 16 and Ethan Kendall on the left wing.

"They went well by all accounts."

This weekend the Storm and Boambee will play a three way friendly match against Maitland FC.

The challenge matches will be played at Korora on Saturday at 3pm along with an Over 35s match.

The Storm kicks off it's premier league season meeting Coffs City United at Korora on March 28.
