British Korfball Association Cup First Round Results
The first five of the ten first round pools in the British
Korfball Association Cup were played on Sunday October 22nd.
Manchester Warriors provided the main talking point of the
round - despite being a brand new club (albeit boasing some
experienced players), they knocked out National League Reserve
division opposition in Kwiek 2. Edinburgh came close to doing
the same against Croydon 2, but fell short in golden goal
extra time.

replayed; this match will decide the winner of that pool.

November 12th. The ten pool winners will join the UK's top
six National League sides in Round 2.
