Another trophy: the Chris Carter Shield!

21/9/2023

Guildford Thunder started the season off in the same style it ended last season: with a trophy!

With 2 teams heading to Reading for the Chris Carter Cup last weekend, Guildford hopes were high for success.

Not everything went to plan, however, with the second team - Storm - losing all the games in the morning.

The morning was also difficult for the first team, which also failed to progress to the elite group in the afternoon.

With pride at stake, the afternoon saw the 2 Guildford teams battle out a dramatic 5-all draw, with the second team ahead for the early part of the game.

The tight fixture spurred the firsts on to winning ways, with them qualifying for the Shield final, which they went on to win on penalties.

High hoops - higher hopes

This weekend sees 2 Guildford teams play in the Chris Carter Cup, with the first league korfball games for all teams starting in early October.

The club hopes to build on last season's excellent performance and growth - keeping the newly promoted first team in the regional league and moving the second team up into OKA division 1.

More focussed outdoor summer training plus competitive korfball tournaments across England (and the Netherlands) should give us a great boost to our skills and fitness at the start of the season.

Squad line-ups

Line-ups for the first, second and third teams will be announced in advance of the season's start.

As part of that, expectations for making the team have been revised to include a whole range of player attributes and attitudes.

To help that, the club has bought new korfball equipment to aid player development and cater for larger training groups.

Taking part

Having 3 teams and ambitions for promotion, the club has greater responsibilities to referee games. The club cannot function competitively if we do not have enough volunteers to train as referees and gain the necessary experience and confidence.

Thank you to everyone who has volunteered and we look forward to getting referees to be assessed for higher levels of competition to support our ambitions.

Fee freeze

There will be no increase in membership fees for this season and discounted annual korfball club membership is available if you make payment in October.

Remember to check the club WhatsApp for regular updates.
