Stingers Korfball Club

It all started off well enough with Stingers 1 taking a commanding lead, being 4-1 up midway through the first half. Unfortunately our attacking then went downhill and it was only a matter of time before Ice evened things up.

By the second half Ice had a two goal lead and try as we might we simply couldn’t get the ball in the basket. Then, towards the end of the half Ice managed to get another two with Stingers scoring a late consolation goal right at the end – the game ending 9-6 to Ice 2.

Stingers 1 take on Stingers 2 this weekend.

Another close game for Stingers 1 this week, never really gaining an advantage on Norwich City 4 who equalled us right till the end – however, luck was with us and we managed to get the winning goal right at the end to win 8-7.

Stingers 2 took on Ice 2 again this week, but this time had a few more Stingers 2 players available, although most of the boys played straight through. The game started off well enough with Ice 2 being ahead by only one goal at half-time, leading us 3-2. It didn’t stay that way though with Stingers 2 unable to get the ball to go through the basket – hit it yes, but score no. Unfortunately Ice 2 could and by the end of the game, like last week, they finished six goals ahead beating us 9-3.

Just the one game this weekend for Stingers 1. Probably going to be one of the tougher ones as we head towards the end of the season.

Luckily for Stingers 1, Norwich City 3 were short of two boys for the first ten minutes, a handicap we managed to capitalise on gaining a four goal advantage before they arrived. Unfortunately as soon they came on the game suddenly became a lot tougher with Norwich City 3 eventually catching up in the second half. Stingers 1 managed to cling on though to win the game 8-6 – just Ice 2, UEA 2 and of course Stingers 2 to get past now!

This was never going to be an easy game for Stingers 2, not only are Ice 2 improving with every game, nearly everyone who played in the Stingers 1 game were now playing in this game. Unfortunately for Stingers 2, Ice 2 took full advantage of this beating us 8-2. Maybe we’ll do better next week?
