Yesterday some of our juniors took part in the largest Korfball tournament for juniors in Britain. As I sat down during one of our match breaks, I began to think about the time when I used to play in the NYD tournament. Some of my juniors were not even born when I started playing Korfball! Scary.
So, the U11’s and U13’s done very well yesterday especially considering we had people playing up and down to fill in gaps, borrowed form other teams and played some games with only six players in our team.
Lee was in charge of the U11’s and Andy the U13’s. Both teams had their ups and downs throughout the day but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and learnt a little bit along the way.
My personal highlights were….
* Taylor’s constant smile.
* The amount of parents coming along to support and getting so involved on the sidelines. (It makes a change for others to be shouting at the ref!)
* Ant’s free pass in the first game.
* Robyn getting female MVP two matches in a row.
* Rory working our kit ghetto style.
* The U13 boys making friends with other teams. (I say ‘making friends with other teams’ when really it was just one team and one particular girl…..those boys certainly don’t need a Cilla!)
* Winning our last game against a team 4-2 when we were two players down.
Although a very long day I enjoyed it. Today I find I have a sun-burnt nose and a horrible horrible sore throat (still it proves I was there!)
Thanks to everyone who came along to support and well done to those who played. Oh and a message for Robyn and Melissa: I promised you that I would put you both in a division together to try and pair you up in training more, now I have it plastered on my blog I will definitely not forget!
