Report on the Manchester Korfball Tourno

Last Updated on Monday, 10 August 2009 08:42 Written by Anna Flanders

No sliding around in a wet and boggy field this year as fine conditions allowed for a fine tournament. The sun shone down on the fields of Ashton on Mersey Rugby Club and sun cream was the order of the day instead of cagoules, much to the relief of the organisers and our camping guests!

Report on the Castle Tourno

Last Updated on Saturday, 01 August 2009 10:18 Written by Kris Johnson

The Vengabus and Donna the Micra took the short trip down the M6 to Eloise’s old stomping ground, for the Castle tourno in June. Following the advice of Fred the Weatherman, the passengers were armed with pack-a-macs and welly boots aplenty; little did they know that blazing sunshine lay in wait!

So as the saying goes, the sun shines on the righteous and Edd’s burnt forehead was evidence of how much the sun did indeed shine – ha ha ha!

Man 1 End of Season Team Manager's Report 2009

Last Updated on Saturday, 01 August 2009 10:13 Written by Kris Johnson

The 2008-2009 season saw the CEKL split into two divisions of seven, with Manchester 1 playing in CEKL Division 1. We finished a respectable 5th, in what was a tough season. There were notable wins away to Nottingham (despite the late arrivial of 3 of our players!) and home to Castle. The team suffered from a lack of consistency with 19 different players turning out over the course of the season, however thanks go to the people who helped out, and due to the structure of play being coached at training these people didn’t look out of place when playing for Manchester 1. There was a great spirit within the team and we all know what we need to do next season - score more goals!
