In their debut tournament following official ratification by the International Korfball Federation of their independent status, Wales went to Luxembourg and won the Eurobowl, finishing ahead of France, Ireland, Scotland, the host nation and Sweden.
Cardiff’s first ever attempt to host a tournament proved very enjoyable and seems set to be a regular event. It was won by “Is it ‘cos i’m a Londoner”. S4C came along to film it too, which might wash away the horrible memory of when they filmed Cardiff Uni on an icy car park in Caernafon.
Here’s Josh’s report of our storming display at Bristol’s annual sunshine fest. A combination effort saw Kristina, Matt, Aidan, Taff and Zoe from city to boost the Dragons ranks of Amy, Ang, Josh, Helen and Kat. The mix ‘n’ match approach clearly favours Cardiff players as we confidently dispatched our local and not so local rivals to claim our first tournament win of the season.
