NEKL: Uni 1 vs Uni 2
Fresh from BUCS we returned to Newcastle just in time for Uni 1 vs Uni 2. Thanks to BUCS we were rather low on subs and everyone was a bit stiff so this was not exactly a game for the history books but it was a fun game and great to see Daisy and Giselle play their first ever game.
Uni 1 started the goals off as Evi sank a runner before Uni 2 quickly responded with a fancy, some kinda basketball inspired runner from James.
The game went to and through, uni 2 with the words of wisdom from Blythe ringing in their ears were admirably holding uni 1 through some stern defence.
However, just as half time approached the game started to open up and uni 1 took a 12-4 lead going into half time. A few stern words from Chris to Hyun Gyu about sitting down mid-game (he wasn't happy, Hyun Gyu was having a ball though and to be fair he had earned it the day before) and some korf mom motivation for the 2s and we were back at it.
At this point I had run out of steam and wasn't really paying much attention to who was doing what (don't judge I'd played nearly 8 hours in less then a week by this point and driven to BUCS). But what I do know is that Uni 1 came out on top with a 22-6 win.
Evi in her final game for the club won MVP in a 6 goal performance that proved once again just how awesome she is. Whilst we'll still see you in training for a few weeks it's the last chance I have to acknowledge your shear korf godliness on here. In your all too short time with us you have clean swept every MVP award going, outscored everyone and given us 'The Turkey' which will forever be part of korfball at Newcastle. In return we have provided you with the humble butternut squash. Best of luck back in the Netherlands and when we come for Atilla, I call dibs!
The next game is tonight as Uni 2 take on Titans over at Walker Activity Dome @8pm. If you fancy a decent game come down and have a watch in what will be the final game in this marathon week of korf.
Until next time, HOWAY THE KORF!
