New third team has impressive korfball league debut

Guildford's new third korfball team had an impressive start to its league season.

Lightning faced an early trip to Southampton Oasis for a double-headed Sunday fixture against Hampshire opposition.

A 14 - 8 victory against mid-table Southampton Spartans 3 set a stormy day alight, with goals from across the team - new and veteran players alike.

Against top-of-the-league Basingstoke Bulls 2, the team scored 10 goals, but ultimately lost out to 18 opposing goals (see all results).

These two games of the team's introductory half-season put Lightning on 4 points, bouncing them to ninth in the league above both Southampton Uni teams and Basingstoke's third team, which is yet to play.

To cap off a fine day, batteries were recharged with a fine roast at the Walnut Tree Farm carvery because we are both a competitive AND social club.
