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.â€
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.

Dragons began the season with a morale-boosting win in the Cardiff University Freshers Tournament, winning 8-5 against Cardiff City in the final. While the two club sides had a considerable advantage over the university sides competing, which had to include 4 beginners apiece, they still had to work hard to get their results. A couple of late withdrawals meant our only beginner was Claire, though if all beginners played as well as she did, then we’d probably have been better to have had more!
The tournament itself was very well run, a big improvement on the season before, with Bristol, Birmingham, Nottingham, Sheffield and Reading Universities all represented, as well as 3 sides from Cardiff itself.
Dragons were narrowly beaten in the Plate final of the Cardiff Tournament, by Reading, to miss out on some silverware. The Dragons team was almost entirely made up of second team players, so to do so well was a really good achievement. The first team players were dotted around some of the higher placed teams, notably Can’t Touch This, Scotland, Pure Magic and Big Cats.
It was another very sunny day for the tournament, and an excellent social at Taffy’s Bar.

It’s that time of year again when Cardiff City and Cardiff Dragons Korfball Clubs come together to organise Wales’ only summer korfball tournament.
This year we are going to build on the success of last year with bacon sandwiches on arrival, 5 pitches and the return of the popular long-shot competition which was hotly contested last year. There will be a BBQ and drinks available on the day, with a vegetarian option as well.
We will also host a social in the evening which promises to be as much fun as last year.
To enter a team contact Josh at joshcockburn@googlemail.com or on Facebook. Entry is £35 per team.
