Korfball in Milton Keynes has moved!

We now have a brand new website, which has been built from the ground up especially to suit our needs, and which shares resources with the websites of many of the local clubs, so that we can bring you even more Milton Keynes korfball than ever before.

Vodka win Korfstock 2009

The 2009 edition of Korfstock, the Milton Keynes korfball tournament, was a huge success on 18th July at the new venue of Woughton-on-the-Green with its larger astroturf and camping. The final was won by tournament team Vodka, the 2007 runners-up, after a victory over Leeds City. MK Bucks 1 came third for the third year running after beating 2007 champions Men in Black on sudden-death penalties. See the Korfstock page for full placings and photos….

Annual Companies Korfball Tournament

Just £5 per player, and all of it to the MK Community Foundation.

MK Bucks win League MK

MK Bucks now have an unassailable lead in League MK after winning their final two matches of the season on March 15th. Although close rivals Luton Hatters also won twice to seal second place, Hatters are now unable to catch Bucks due to not picking up a bonus point when losing to Bucks back in February.

Sunday’s full results were:

Colossus 14-1 MKX

MKX 1-14 Hatters

Hatters 5-1 Colossus

Bucks 8-2 Roos

Roos 9-3 Wanderers

Wanderers 6-12 Bucks

At the regional level, Bucks MRL team also picked up two wins, against Highbury and Norwich Ice, to move up the table.

Team GB to Train in MK!

The GB team will be training in MK starting 14^th March.  On that date they are at Stantonbury from 2-6pm.  They are happy for people to pop in and watch.

In total they will be coming to MK 17 times.  Go and watch and learn.  They may also run a few sessions for us, so watch this space!

Exhibition Game

There will be an exhibition game at Courtside on Sunday 1st March at 3:15pm.  The game is between MK Bucks and a combined side from MK City, MK Roos and Walton Rogues: the sides will each be composed, as much as possible, of beginners.

If you are a beginner, then get in touch with someone from your club whom you think might be in charge of the team, or just turn up in sports kit- this game is all about getting new players into games!

If you really don’t feel like playing a game yet, then coming along and watching a game is also a great way of getting to know the game better.

MKX and Walton Rogues website launches

MKX (the Milton Keynes youth korfball club) and Walton Rogues (the new adult club, which trains on a Tuesday night at Walton High in Walnut Tree) both launched their websites recently.  Each is a good place to keep up to speed with what the club is doing, but MKX’s site also has the facility for anyone involved to add their own news items and blog entries; email youth@mkkorfball.co.uk to get the username and password to do this.

Advantage Bucks in League MK

MK Bucks took over in pole position in League MK yesterday after winning the return top-of-the-table clash with Luton Hatters 7-3. Crucially, the four-goal win prevented Hatters from picking up a bonus point, and that may be what proves crucial at the end of the season, with Bucks having gained the bonus point when they lost to Hatters in November.

Both Hatters and Bucks also defeated Wallabies in yesterday’s fixtures, although Wallabies performed creditably and picked up a bonus point from both games, losing 5-2 and 6-4 respectively.

School of Excellence

The form for the Korfball School of Excellence is available from mkxkorfball.wordpress.com, which is the dedicated youth korfball website. The school of excellence is coming to MK during half time, but there’s plenty more info on that site and in the form itself!

Tasters 2nd and 5th Feb Snowed Off!

Unfortunately the heavy snow means that MK Bucks training tonight is off, which also means that we cannot hold the planned taster session as part of the Bucks Sport campaign. The MK City session on Monday 2nd was also a victim of the weather.

However, Bucks Sport have extended the “Try-It!” week into next week as well, due to the weather! So, if you want to try korfball at either the Monday or Thursday club, do go to the sessions next week – it’s still free!
