Manchester University Korfball Club would like to welcome all freshers to Manchester and say welcome back to everyone returning for another year!

The first training session for all beginners is on Wednesday 30th September 6pm - 8pm, at the Armitage Centre in Fallowfield. The first two training session are free, so you’ve got no excuse not to come down and give it a go! We will also be offering a free drink down the pub to everyone who attends the first session, followed by a social in fallowfield.

Some other things that are happening through the year include:

- Fast track freshers training session to get you up to speed on the rules and basic tactics

- Bar Wars social, which involves teams of 5-6 people attempting to be the first to reach the final bar and be crowned Bar Wars champions for the year!

- Pirate themed AU Social - who doesn’t love fancy dress?!

- Manchester tournament where we play host to teams from across the country and have a huge social afterwards.

- Attila - where Korfball returns to its roots in Holland for an annual tournament involving teams from all across europe in what is always a very fun weekend!

Have a good fresher’s week and hopefully see you on Wednesday!

Nationals

March 22nd, 2009 by admin Posted in News | 5 Comments »

Over the past two weekends the 1st and 2nd teams have taken part in their yearly nationals competitions.

Last weekend the 1st team travelled to Sheffield to play in the BUCS championship. They put in some excellent performances and finished 2nd in their group and a very good 8th place overall.

Yesterday, the 2nd team went to Nottingham to play in the 2nd team nationals competition. After some very close and intense matches they finished 3rd in their group and were 8th overall. Another very good result for the team.

Congratulations to both teams!

At the BSKA AGM after the 1st’s nationals, Manchester was chosen to hold the Northerns qualifier for next years nationals competition. This is a great honour for the club and is something for everyone to look forward to next year!
