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.
