Round 13 Results
Thursday, 20 August 2009
Round 13 saw us back in the goals for the A grade games, a new record for the most goals in an A grade game set in the Sikopi-NAKC clash with 56 of them. Sikopi out of the blocks quickly with almost a goal a minute for the first 15 minutes, NAKC had no answers and Sikopi had amassed 21 at the break. Thankfully for NAKC Sikopi slowed down in the second half, NAKC managing to get a few of their own as fatigue set in at Sikopi. The final score at 33-23 still a great spectacle. Sikopi: Steve Coles 8; Jamie Gartner 8 (3 pen) and Katrina Borg 4. NAKC: Daniel Papalia and Adam Robertson 5 and Nikki Koritsa 3
Boomers took on Glenelg in the other game and a win was enough to get them top spot for the first time this year as Arista had the bye. Boomers have the bye this week so will be back in second next week. A bit of a scrappy game, but some nice long shots from both teams. Glenelg having some good patches showing they can mix it with the top teams, they just need to maintain it. Boomers just too dominant at the basket with to many easy shots from there. Final score Boomers 29-Glenelg 16. Boomers: Brad Marks 6, Daniel Phillips 5 (2),
The B grade game of the week was Mitcham managing their first real win of the season with a very close 15-14 score over Arista. After a couple of close losses Mitcham put it together with their usual seven players to take the points. Mitcham: Dave Scroggs 6 (2), Marie Kelley 3. Arista: Allan Browne 4, Michelle Tremaine 3, Jess Rismondo 3 (2)
Sikopi tried hard but just couldn’t match it with NAKC who are on a bit of a roll at the moment. NAKC with the win at 16-11 NAKC: Sarah Cranwell 5, Rob Mahobej 4. Sikopi: Michael Mullan 5, Bec Coulls 4.
Boomers had Glenelg struggling early and had a lead which they didn’t let go of. After their last few second half fade outs Boomers held it together this week to win 19-12. Boomers: Pete Corcoran 5 (1), Adrian Riessen 5 (1)
C grade saw a good close game between NAKC and Sikopi (Red) going goal for goal it was anyones game in the last few minutes, but it was NAKC who held their nerve to take it 13-12 NAKC: Bryce Shilton 6, Sonya Melillo 3. Sikopi Red: Zane Adams 4, Rae Tyler 2.
Boomers and Glenelg had a good tussle with lots of shots but not many goals in the first twenty minutes but then Boomers found their range and rattled of five unanswered goals. From there they held strong and extended that lead to finish at 15-6. Boomers:
Sikopi Blue continued their goal scoring ways with an emphatic 19-8 victory over Arista. Arista struggling to score for most of the game while Sikopi dropped them in from everywhere. Sikopi: Adam Boon and Ben Szentpeteri 4, Tam Hicks 3. Arista: Ricci Centofanti and Ryan Rose 2.
The Under 19 saw a couple of surprise results with Arista getting up over the in form NAKC at 15-9 Andrew Hutchesson (Arista) with 3, lots of players with 1 and 2.
Bottom of the table “Bitcham” with a come from behind win over Glenelg 18-14 Bitcham: Josh Bernie 7, Blake Horrocks 6, Alana Rochow 2. Glenelg: Tyson White (on loan) 9 and Ashlee Othens 4

State League Round 11 Wrapup
Monday, 10 August 2009
Some very good and close games this week, top and bottom of the table clashes in A Grade saw two games with a one goal difference. Arista and Boomers in the top of the table clash went goal for goal for most of the game, neither team able to get any natural flow into their games and although not a pretty game to watch, the intensity in the last fifteen minutes was palpable. Boomers making a late run and scoring two quick goals in the last minute to take the game before a last second goal from Arista made it the smallest of margins. Arista’s first loss of the season but they still hold top spot. Mark Hamilton (Boomers) with 7 (5 pen)
Glenelg and NAKC was the other game and with Glenelg slightly undermanned, missing their Australian Player Nat Bukojemski it was always going to be a close game. NAKC took an early three goal lead and held onto a lead for most of the game. Glenelg came back at them in the last few minutes and looked like they were going to steal it going one up with a minute to go, but NAKC held firm and leveled the scores, then late in the last minute Rookie slotted a nice one from the back of the court and there was no time for a Glenelg to reply. NAKC had their first win of the season at 20-19. Daniel Crispe aka Rookie (NAKC) with 9, Patrick Branford (Glenelg) with 7, Pete Wilson (Glenelg) with 5 and Hayley Sommers-Cain (NAKC) top female with 3.
B grade saw Boomers beat Arista in a similar game to their first round clash, a close game in the first half with Boomers up by one at half time, but as in the first game Arista could not find the korf in the second half and Boomers winners with a scoreline that did not reflect the closeness of the game at 23-14. Pete Corcoran (Boomers) with 7 (4 pen) Ashley Reddaway (Boomers) with 5 (1 pen) and for the girls Tracey Grose and Kendall Mount (Boomers) and Danni Chesson (Arista) all with 4 goals.
In the surprise result of the day Glenelg had a resounding win against NAKC 17-10 with Daniel Papalia (NAKC) getting 5 and John Spurr and Ashley Othens (Glenelg) getting 4 each.
Sikopi took on Mitcham and just managed to come away with the win at 13-12 even though Mitcham were a girl short. Top scorers all getting 3 each in Michael Mullen, Ryan Gartner, Ashlyn Wetherall and Angela Easson (Sikopi) and Dave Scroggs (Mitcham)
C grade saw two more one goal wins, the first was Boomers over Arista in a low scoring 8-7 win. Jarrod Millhouse (Boomers), Laura Jakabowski (Boomers) and Shannon Dodd (Boomers) all with 2
NAKC had Glenelg’s measure in this one with a 12-4 win, Adrian Terrace (NAKC) with 5, Bryce Shilton (NAKC) and Kingsley Lane (NAKC) with 4 each.
Sikopi Red and Sikopi Blue fought out the final C grade match and Sikopi Blue snuck away with the fifth single goal win of the round (Haven’t seen that before either) at 14-13 top scorers shared with Tam Hicks (Blue) and Rae Tyler (Red) getting 5 each and Nick Gartner (Blue) and Pete Tyler (Red) with 4 each.
Under 19 games saw Boomers/Mitcham record their first real win of the season over the top of the table Arista with a 14-9 win. Arista up for most of the game and Boomers getting their nose in front with ten minutes to go and then adding a couple of extras at the end. Blake Horrocks (Bitcham) with 5 (1 pen) and Emily Hutchesson (Arista) with 2
NAKC took on Glenelg in the other under 19 game and although getting an 18-10 victory on the scoreboard have unfortunately forfeited this game by playing 5 of their players from this team in their B grade. Jelke Schermer (NAKC)with 5 and Patrick Branford (Glenelg) with 4; Amelia Vardas (Glenelg) and Megan Milne (NAKC) with 2 each.
Interesting World Games Stadium Facts
Thursday, 23 July 2009
Earlier this month, Grzebik Design completed work on what they are calling the “world’s largest solar powered loudspeaker system” in the Taiwan National Stadium in Kaohsiung. It is capable of cranking out 105 dB of sound to 40,000 spectators.
The Taiwan National Stadium makes use of 60 distributed Apogee Sound AE-7SX weather-resistant loudspeakers for primary seating area coverage, 12 Apogee Sound ALA-5WSX weather resistant Acoustic Linear Array loudspeakers provides field coverage, and 2 Apogee Sound AFI-205 and two AFI-Point5 loudspeakers provide Control Room audio monitoring. The 76 loudspeakers are powered by 52 Peavey Electronics model PV2600 and 3 model PV1500 power amplifiers. Additional signal processing equipment includes Apogee Sound loudspeaker controllers, Symetrix SymNet Digital Signal Processing equipment, an Altair 48-channel mixing desk, Tascam CD, DVD and cassette players, Peavey Electronics, microphones, and CUE Touch Panel Controllers, all wired together with 9,500 meters (5.5 miles) of Klotz Cable.
Naturally, going 100% solar with an installation like this requires a buttload of green tech:
Indeed, if you look at the images of the roof, it seems to be completely covered in “a flowing river” of solar panels.The ultra-modern $US5 billion Taiwan National Stadium, designed by renowned Japanese architect Toyo Ito, and constructed for the 2009 World Games, features a stunning 14,155 square meter roof incorporating 8,844 solar panels, which emulates the form of a flowing river, and generates 1.14 million KWh annually preventing the release of 660 tons-per-annum of atmospheric carbon dioxide. On days when the Taiwan National Stadium is not in use, the electricity generated from its roof is fed back the city’s electrical grid where it will meet almost 80% of the area’s energy requirements.
WG09: Finals
Wednesday, 22 July 2009
Britain. A slow start, missed penalties, short shots and run-ins and
lack of fitness turned what ought to have been a tight match into a romp
for the British.. At half time, the Australians had managed to recover
from a shocking 2-9 start to be only 3 goals down (8-11) and back in the
hunt for a win. But the British were able to extend the lead to 6 in the
opening minutes of the second half and retain that 6 goal lead until the
50th minute (14-20).. But the Australians were tiring and the last 10
minutes saw an almost unbelievable 16 goals scored!
Final score was 18-31, the highest tally for the tournament and making
the British the only non Dutch team to score 30+ goals in a match..
Other finals were less dispiriting. Czech Republic fought back against
Portugal to level the scores in the final seconds of regular time
through a Penalty shot. Taking the match to their second Golden Goal
decider. Clearly the Czech team has a game plan for Golden Goal as they
managed to score quickly to seal the win and claim 5th place.
Chinese Taipei played Russia for 3rd place and once again it was a
tightly fought contest. The Taiwanese team in front of a sold out
stadium and 16 TV cameras broadcasting to local TV overtook the Russians
after 18 minutes and took a 5 goal lead into half time 10-15. In the
second half, 2 Russian substitutions did nothing to assist them, instead
allowing the Taiwanese to break open the match with a 5 goal spurt.. The
Taiwanese taking Bronze 18-25.
Neither the Dutch or Belgians had been troubled by opponents in the Pool
or Crossover matches. The Belgians had surprised many with the manner in
which they'd dispatched the Taiwanese and Russians but now had to prove
themselves against the true measuring stick, the Dutch.. Over the past
few years, the Dutch have made a mockery of their fiercest rival so it
was to some (pleasant) surprise that at half time, the Belgians were
still in the game, only 3 goals down 13-10.. It took until the 40th
minute for the Dutch to open the distance between the teams and hold the
gain and at the 52nd minute with an 8 goal advantage, the match was all
but over. The Belgians did themselves proud to fight back to reduce the
margin to only 5. The Dutch (as expected) taking the Gold 25-20
Overall, placings in the tournament were to expectations. Perhaps the
only surprise being that Chinese Taipei did not challenge the Belgians,
but clearly the Belgians have improved and are somewhat of a challenger
to the Dutch. Whether the introduction of the Shot-Clock has had an
impact on the results will be seen in future tournaments. Certainly, the
scores across the tournament are higher than they have recently been
demonstrating that the rule has improved the spectacle which was its
primary aim. Crowd numbers and the inclusion of Korfball on EuroSport 2
TV throughout Europe is also another small stepping stone to improving
the footprint of our sport. So overall a successful tournament for the
IKF, if not Australian Korfball .

I can't get it to work, and all the instructions are in Chinese but there is a live streaming page here
http://hichannel.hinet.net/2009wg/live.html
it seems to be suitable for Internet Explorer users only so you need to use the IE Tab plugin if you're a Firefox user and it tries to install a DRM component which fails on my work PC.
Link comes courtesy of my Ultimate Frisbee colleagues.. Hopefully those of us without Eurosport 2 can now watch some World Games Korfball too!

WG09: Semi Finals
Tuesday. Hamo led the way for the Australians with 7 goals (including 3
penalties) and the opening 2 goals of the match.
It was tight at half time 7-6 in favour of Portugal and "game-on" for
the second half....
Unfortunately, no-one told the Australians who seemingly forgot to
return to court as the Portuguese put on the opening 4 goals unanswered.
The Portuguese females were dominant all match, scoring freely in
offence (more than half the Portuguese score) and denying the strong
Australian female lineup many opportunities in defence. Only Jess May
scored and only once. But the Australian males also struggled to find
the basket. Australia adding only 4 goals to 15 in the second half!
Going down 22-10, a very disappointing result given the half time figures.
Great Britain squared up against Czech Republic in a tight, exciting
(despite very inaccurate shooting) match. After a blazing start, taking
the lead out to 2-6, the Czech's missed consecutive penalties and
allowed the British back into the game. Both team's inaccuracy evident
in the half time scoreline 5-6.
Despite losing a star player to a nasty knee injury, at the 53rd minute,
the Czech's were up by 3 and looking to finish off the match but the
British found a patch of accurate shooting from distance and pegged back
the margin to be down one goal at the 56th minute...
3 minutes later the scoreboard had not changed and it seemed the Czech's
would scrape home a win. With seconds remaining however, Britain were
awarded a free pass and levelled the score to take the match into the
first Golden Goal decider for the tournament.
The Czech's had the first attack in extra time and scored to put the
British under extraordinary pressure to re-level the score in their
first attack. They failed to do so and Czech were jubilant. 12-13 Golden
Goal..
The final 2 matches of the day were to determine who would play off for
first place on Tuesday. Belgium faced Russia but unlike the warm up
friendly in China, the Belgians totally outclassed the Russians in this
match. It was over in the first 12 minutes with Belgium up 7-0 from 6
different scorers! The Russians only managed to score their second goal
of the match in the 35th minute!
Sharpshooter Bart Cleyman (who plays in the Semi-Pro Dutch
Korfballeague) finished with 10 goals (5 Penalties). Final score 24-8.
The Belgians have not been challenged as yet in this tournament.. and
talk of the Taiwanese being the next big hope to upset the Dutch seem to
be premature..
Finally, as expected, the Dutch easily accounted for the Taiwanese. Jos
Roseboom with 9 goals (3 penalties) and purportedly worlds best player
Andre Kuipers with 5. Final score 29-13..
Tuesdays Finals are as follows.
2pm (Adelaide Time) 7-8th: Australia - Great Britain
4pm 5-6th: Czech Republic - Portugal
6pm 3-4th: Chinese Taipei - Russia
8pm 1-2nd: Netherlands - Belgium
