Kent Cup

KINGFISHER v KV – Referee: Azi Sieber, Linesman: Adam Dibble. The showpiece final was a great game even if the scoreline suggested otherwise. KV were quickly out of the blocks racing to an 8-2 advantage, Kingfisher pulled it back going into the half at 11-5 down. KV carried on how they stated in the first half  with 6 without reply, closing the game 20-8. James Mcdonald top scored with 8 for KV.

Kent League Cup

KINGFISHER 2 v TORNADOES 2. Another great match, once again the scoreline doesn’t do justice to a fine game from a neutral perspective. The match started even the the score at 3-2, then Kingfisher scored 8 without reply to open a wide gap that Tornadoes couldn’t close, but nonetheless a very good match. Final score 17-5 to Kingfisher 2.

Under 16 Cup

BEARSTED v BEC – Referee: Chris Beale Linesman: Sam Barnden. Bec’s faithful and large support certainly added atmosphere to a wonderful contest between two very evenly matched teams, with both sides trading goal for goal in a nail-biting match for the large crowd. Bearsted finally edged the contest 7-5 with Rebecca Stone top scoring with 3.

Frank Sieber, Kent Korfball Association said: “It was another great finals day with superb youth talent on display and tough fought matches throughout the day. Thanks to all the parents, players, supporters, officials and Referees who made it such a great day for Kent Korfball”
