The 2016\/17 season opens with not one, but TWO adrenaline packed fixtures (and not just because we had to traverse\u00a0Glasgow). \u00a0 \u00a0EU2 kicked off the day with a mostly new players team, fighting it out with Glasgow 2 for a tough loss but still achieving 2 Goals for Amy “Essex” Robinson and 3 for top scorer and korfball debut maker Tasha Jayabalan! \u00a0 The seconds then secured their first win of the season with a cracking 10-4 win over Dundee 2, with goals flying in from all corners thanks to Ellie Finch, Elise \u00c7elik, Michael Cooley, Ellie Fairfoot, Tasha Jayabalan, and top scorer \u00a0Robert Dudek, putting in 3 in his debut fixture. \u00a0Coach Thijs commended Elise for some great long shots right after he shut off the camera (unlucky), and gave his highlight as seeing all the new players producing some really high quality korfball, despite losing out to a strong Glasgow side. \u00a0But give them a few months to settle into it, and then…<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the thirds were having it out with Strathclyde for their first game of the year, losing out to well seasoned players at 11-5 with a goal apiece from Christie Smillie and Christina Swan, and a smashing 3 goal start to his korfball career from Harry Woodage, which earned him the match MVP. \u00a0Since Edinburgh City had pulled out due to player availability (read “fear”<\/em>) \u00a0some friendly games followed in which EU3 beat Strathclyde’s freshers by a whopping 12 goals to 2. \u00a0Coach Mason said there was very impressive play from new korfers, and is excited for the year ahead. \u00a0He also suggested quietly that perhaps MVP should have gone to a particular someone making their coaching debut…<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, everybody went to Five Guys, and it was great.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
