Glenelg Korfball Club

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), James Tye 5 (3) KiaRogers 4;  Glenelg: Sot Vardas, Pete Wilson, Kath McCulloch and Alisa Westland all with 3.

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) Kendall Mount 4.  Glenelg: Lee Jones 4 (1), Martine White 2

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:  Jo Cottle 4, Stephen Roberts 3.  Glenelg: Nick Greb 2
