Cardiff Dragons Korfball Club

Hi all,

Just to remind everyone, we have a game on thursday during the second
half of our training session against Uni 2.

Games are an hour long, 4 boys, 4 girls and we can make 2 subs.

The plan is to pick the team before the game and give everyone a
chance to see how a game is played.

See you Thursday.

Cheers

Steve

Cardiff Korfball tournament a success

Twenty teams competed in Cardiff’s annual korfball tournament at Cardiff Rugby Club last weekend (Saturday 22 August).

South London-based team, Wildcats, won the tournament, beating off teams from all over the UK including seven Cardiff teams, Gloucester, Highbury, Bec, Manchester and Bristol.

Kate Saunders took part in the tournament and organised the event. She said: “This year we had more than 100 people playing korfball outdoors and it was a really succesdful event. The standard was high and we some great support from the side-lines.

“We’ll be hosting the event again next year and want to encourage as many people to come along and find out more about korfball and we’re developing the sport as much as we can.

“The best thing about korfball is that you don’t need to know the rules to start with – you can just join in and learn as you go. It’s a good way to keep fit and meet new people.”

Cardiff Dragons and Cardiff City organised the tournament which is now in its fourth year.

Korfball is a Dutch sport that is growing in Wales. It is played by men and women on mixed teams and combines elements of basketball and netball.
