THREE is the magic number: Guildford's third korfball team joins the league

Guilford Thunder has entered a third team in the Oxfordshire Korfball League following a successful player recruitment drive.

The third team, which will play in OKL Division 2 (south), means more competitive playing time for all club members.

It will also help the second team, Storm, focus on winning matches (and the league!) while the third team concentrates on learning and player development.

The team (rumoured to be known as Lightning) will play the second half of the korfball season, starting with an away game against Southampton City Spartans 2 early in the new year.

The announcement of a third team is exciting news for the club as it bounces back after covid - it follows a whole sweep of recruitment activity, including a PR campaign and a new TikTok account. It also comes as GTKC forges links with the University of Surrey's Team Surrey sports societies to support the development of a student korfball society.

We hope these developments provide a solid foundation for the future of the sport in Guildford and the wider county.
