Stingers Korfball Club

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?

It seems like we’ve played Dragons 2 every week, but I think this was the last game against them for this season.

This game followed just about the same route as every other game against Dragons 2, for the first 15 minutes or so its a pretty close game. Then as we gain in confidence we slowly pull away to victory – Stingers 1 ending the game 18-8 winners.

Special mention has to go to Steve this week, I don’t what he had for breakfast but after an impressive 6 goals in the game I want some!

Both teams are in action this week and it seems in the run up to the end of the season there’ll be getting harder. Stingers 1 take on Norwich City 3 who beat us last time we played, and Stingers 2 play Ice 2 who we also lost to.

A good day for Stingers with both teams securing wins.

Stingers 1 started off against a Norwich City team who were short of one player. Although this sounds like it would hand the opposing team an easy win, it doesn’t. However come half time, Stingers 1 had a comfortable lead. Norwich City weren’t going to give up easily and slowly began to close the gap on our lead during the second half, but a quick spurt at the end gave Stingers 1 a 10-7 victory.

With both Dragons 2 and Stingers 2 having a couple of 1st team players playing, the game started off with both teams sharing goals to keep the scores fairly close for the first half of the game. However, 10 minutes into the second half Stingers 2 seemed to go up a gear pulling away from Dragons to secure a win 14-8.

Just Stingers 1 in action this week, they take on Dragons 2 at 6pm.
