The 2022/23 korfball season gets going this month on home turf for Surrey’s finest: Guildford Thunder Korfball Club.

Our silky skills will be a major draw for spectators in the Chris Carter Memorial Cup, which is running for the first time since 2019 due to the covid pandemic. 

The cup is named for Chris Carter, an Oxford teacher and korfballer whole died of a brain tumour. It will be fought for by teams from all over Oxfordshire Korfball Association as part of a host of 2022/23 season fixtures just announced.

The gleaming giant greenhouse that is Guildford Spectrum will be the hosting venue for the revived competition. 

With its plentiful parking and often-working aircon, the Spectrum is likely to be a Theatre of Dreams for Thunder as we take on all-comers and obviously vanquish them all (we hope).

The day-long tournament is on Sunday 25 September 2022.

​Sadly, it takes place a long way from a decent pub, so “victory quesadillas” will be consumed at Burrito Loco inside the Spectrum.

Family and friends are welcome to cheer us on and:

• share in the joy of victory
• commiserate with the sadness of defeat
• look baffled at a draw
• steal all the guacamole

Korfball in the UK would be in a much better place if it had more Chris Carters. The sport is poorer without him.
