Cardiff Dragons Korfball Club

7-21, Dave Thomas (2), Lee O’Sullivan (2), Gareth Thomas (1), Josh Cockburn (1), Rachel Knight (1), Amy Shillabeer, Julia Harnett, Sian Hunt.

With several players missing, this always looked like it was going to be a tough match against a Cyclones side that was at almost full strength, and Dragons were struggling even before Sian’s injury reduced them to 7 players. While Cyclones were never threatened, Dragons did manage to create chances throughout, even at the end where they were a player short and Dave, Gareth and Amy ran themselves into the ground. Defensively, the performance was solid enough, though we were never able to put Cyclones under enough pressure to shake them. Dragons will hope to be at full strength for the third game between the two sides on the 29th March, and give the opposition a real test. 

2-6 Alison Eaves (1), Guest (1), Chrissy Rowlatt, Emily Tuttiett, Liz Pearson, Magnus Dons, Pete Obee, Steven Vaughan.

I wasn’t there, but apparently we defended well, but lacked much attacking threat.

The second 1sts vs 2nds match of the season saw a broadly similar result as the first one, with an extra 3 goals for the seonds the only difference. However, that does not tell the whole story. (more…)
