The full WKL season plan has now been updated and it’s looking pretty full! Will be a lot of busy Welsh korfballers this season.

Wales at the Counties
The 2008 counties was played in Birmingham on some very odd looking artificial turf which played a bit odd too, but dealt very well with the horrible weather conditions that always seem to accompany the counties. Full report below: (more…)

Cardiff Tournament successful again
The third annual Cardiff tournament saw another step forward in terms of size, quality of korfball and efficiency of organisation, thanks to a lot of hard work from a significant number of people on the organising committee and volunteers on the day.
The morning session was made-up of 4 groups, with the top 2 in each qualifying for the Cup quarter-finals. Third and fourth headed into the Plate quarter-finals, while the rest of the teams played off for the bowl. These groups were won by Bec, Pure Magic, Scotland and Bearsted respectively.
In the quarter-finals, Bearsted and Pure Magic continued on, beating Highbury and Big Cats. But the other group winners faltered, Bec losing to Wildcats and Scotland to Can’t Touch This. In the final, Wildcats met Bearsted and in the battle of the National League 1 teams, it was the London team who came out ahead. The Plate trophy also went to the capital, Bec 2 beating Cardiff Invaders in the final, while Reading beat Dragons to win the bowl.

Welsh National Squad Trials
Trials for the Wales national squad will be on the 6th September at Talybont Sports Hall in Cardiff. More information is available on the WKA site. There will also be national squad training there on the 20th September.
Inactive Period
Unfortunately the end of the indoor season saw me slacking off significantly in the updating of this site. I’m looking to keep the site more regularly updated from now on.
More positively, in this time the WKA has got a very professional new website, expertly designed by Nick Wilkins which will hopefully become the best place to go for official news about the Welsh national team and korfball within Wales.
