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

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

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.
