The new korfball season for Oxfordshire Korfball League Division 1 kicks off for our first team this coming weekend (October 16), with a double-header away against Oxford City's second and third team. The matches will take place at St Gregory The Great School in Oxford as our 2022/23 season fixtures start. Last year saw honours shared between City 3 and Thunder - each with an away win. City 2 won both of the clashes of the 2021/22 OKA season. City 3 have already lost their first game this season and Thunder hope to add to their misery this time out. Our second team, Storm, will host Basingstoke Bulls 2 the following weekend (October 23). Surrey hopes are high of a repeat of last season's pair of victories against the Bulls in the OKA division 2 (south). See last year's results.

This summer saw a busy time for Guildford Thunder Korfball Club with a string of fun tournament matches around England and The Netherlands as well as coverage by our journalistic friends. First up, our ace captain Hayleigh Richards got up at the crack of dawn to face a grilling on BBC Radio Surrey’s Breakfast Show. Despite a comic mishearing by presenter, Mark Carter, Hayleigh woke up the county with a fun dive into the sport and why Guildford Thunder is such a great club. We then featured in numerous local outlets including the Farnham Herald, Round&About and VantagePoint. And while the sun was out, we spent our Thursday evenings training in the park (followed by the occasional shandy at The Weyside) in preparation for nearby tournaments at Cheam Nomads and Croydon Korfball Club. We played really well against a field of local, regional and national teams, introducing several new junior players and even winning the odd game in between trips to the barbecue. Finally, in August, several of our intrepid members headed off to Leiden to play in the Velocitas tournament - getting some great experience against Dutch players and having great fun into the bargain. If this wets your appetite for playing korfball this autumn, just send us a message to let us know you want to come along for a trial session. |
